Large Christmas baubles are back! An enormous trend in 2020, they've returned bigger than ever.
With festive firs popping up left right and centre on our social media feeds, there's a clear winner when it comes to Christmas tree trends 2021. Big baubles.
This Christmas, it looks like size does matter when it comes to baubles.
Large Christmas baubles
The humble Christmas bauble is of course the key ingredient to any beautifully decorated tree. And while we've spotted lots of gorgeous, sustainable paper baubles this year, the main thing we've noticed is the variation of sizes.
People are confidently throwing in a handful of XXL baubles into the mix, be it red, gold, or another tone that compliments their overall theme. It truly is a failsafe way to add instant impact to your existing Christmas tree ideas.
The trend for large Christmas baubles certainly doesn't mean overhauling your entire collection. Just add a few chunkier decorations to make a statement - odd numbers work best.
Shake things up with just three new, oversized baubles. The good news is you can do this for under £10 with some stunning baubles available on the high street right now.
Wilko has some amazing big baubles on its website, as do John Lewis and Dobbies.
