Counting the days to Christmas? Now that Christmas is on your radar, take a close look at 2021 Christmas trends. Undeniably, gray is the color of the season!

Pantone’s 2021 color of the year, Ultimate Gray, represents solid, dependable, foundational elements. Indeed, Ultimate Gray makes us think of water- and sand-washed beach pebbles. In fact, it also reminds us of other natural elements weathered by rain, wind and sun.
The Gray Fireplace Mantel for Christmas Trends 2021
The grays of galvanized steel are right at home in Christmas trends for 2021. Hence, our mantel decor is centered around Christmas wall art featuring a gray galvanized steel star. Thus, it bears the sentiment, “Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.”

Top your table or mantel with glorious gray decor for Christmas 2021! Start with our gray, tree-shaped, metal ornament with mercury-glass shading (#1217430, $7.99). Second, add our standing wood trees wrapped with twine (1211007, $14.99). Third, bring our gray steel star wall art (#1210960, $27.99) into the grouping. Lastly, anchor the display (and your stockings) with our gray metal with glitz Noel or Joy Christmas stocking holder (#1203068, $24.99). All are available in-store or by contacting customer service at 989.652.9931 or customerservice@bronners.com.
In fact, if you love the mercury-glass look, try your hand at making mercury-glass-look ornaments.
Dulux Trade’s colour of the year for 2021 is Brave Ground, a neutral gray that plays well with a touch of color. Hence, it’s a perfect palette base for Christmas 2021!
The Gray Christmas Tree for Christmas Trends 2021
For example, soft, rich blues in our pinecone ornament and opal gray round ornament provide a gentle flourish of color.

Our tree features a gray poinsettia and ribbon evergreen unit/swag (#1202044, $44.99). Trims also include a snowflakes on blue/gray glass ornament and a 6-ft. gem ball glass garland. In similar fashion, we complete our look with blue-gray pinecone glass ornament (#1217936, $7.99) and opal-gray round glass ornament (#1206722, $10.99).
Moving along, we skirt our tree with a 48-inch charcoal gray micro velvet tree skirt. The skirt bears silver snowflakes and dazzling crystal gems for contrast. We place a champagne, silver-glittered Holy Family Nativity (#1218809, $79.99) under the tree. To be sure, the Nativity focuses our attention on the reason for the Christmas season. You will find it in-store or by contacting customer service at 989.652.9931 or customerservice@bronners.com.
Include Units/Swags

The swag also hangs above the mantel on our fireplace. In short, Bronner’s decorating team will build and decorate units/swags and wreaths per your request with items in-stock at Bronner’s. Just ask for details at customer service during your next visit.

The unit (swag) also serves as a beautiful focal point on your tree. To be sure, you will want to use an odd number of units on your tree as focal points. Smaller trees require three to five units, medium trees need five to seven units, and large trees require seven to nine or more units. To that end, Amanda shows you how to make a unit midway through her video demonstration about how to decorate a Christmas tree.

Our personalizable 20.5-inch silver silk stocking completes the look.

Go gray for Christmas 2021!
