Messe Frankfurt hosts the Christmasworld tradeshow every year; this year style experts Bora Herke Stillburo were selected to produce a report that highlights customers' desires. This report revealed four strong themes: Airy, Sweet, Comfort and Obsession.

Airy - This modern romantic fantasy style can be created with the use of soft pastel colours, cream, pink, grey, dull gold, mother of pearl and lots of white. To enhance the lightness of this "Airy" style, use the transparency qualities of glass, vases, crystal and fabrics such as tulle.

Sweet - Fresh, feminine and kitsch this is a versatile and a new take on Christmas. When neutral white and silver Christmas items are used, fun can be had with the introduction of vibrant trimmings. Such colours as pink, sand, aqua, violet, lime and grey the "Sweet" palette is ideal for the Australian summer.

Comfort - The transition from traditional to modern is complete when modern style objects are teamed with the organic, such as driftwood and polished stones. Incorporate grey, silver, dull gold and touches of red and orange in multiple textures to achieve this for your "Comfort" this year.

Obsession - Ornate and glamorous, truly emulates the richness of the festive season. A glamorous blend of metallics, lighter shades of pink and lavender and darker shades of aubergine and violet create contrast. To reproduce the "Obsession" look, combine sumptuous fabrics, ornate objects and quality glass and crystal making sure to introduce sensual curved lines.
