Rewind to the Past: White Room Studio Goes Vintage 80s This Christmas 🎄📼

This year, we are winding the clock back. Pop in the cassette, because White Room Studio has officially gone Vintage 80s with our Christmas set-up.

There’s something irresistibly warm about the Christmases of decades past, the kind with shiny tinsel trees, colourful baubles, and fairy lights so chunky you could count every single bulb. This year, we are chasing that exact feeling: a little nostalgic, a little glam, and completely festive.

In place of quiet minimalism, we are leaning into maximalist cheer: garlands piled thick, ornaments in every finish from matte to mirror, and a colour palette that doesn’t hold back.

At the centre of the set, a classic red and gold Christmas tree takes the spotlight, strung with oversized bulb lights and topped with a statement star. Around it, retro touches like vintage rugs, tin ornaments, and wrapped gifts in bold red bows bring the whole scene together. It’s the kind of set that makes you want to put on a Christmas jumper, crank up the carols, and dance around the tree.

To finish the look, we brought in warm-toned bokeh lighting reminiscent of old holiday photographs, a soft, nostalgic glow that makes every portrait feel like a cherished memory pulled straight from a family photo album.

A celebration of nostalgia, colour, and a little bit of disco-era sparkle, this is the spirit of Christmas we are bringing to the studio this year.

We’ve been coming to White Room Studio for the last 3 years for our Christmas photos. Each time is a delight and we’ll keep coming back. I highly recommend it! Delun was a master with our toddler and we were spoiled for choice with his photos.

I went for a family photoshoot (Christmas themed) and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The photographer Yan was really patient and wasn’t rushing us at all. She made a lot of suggestions and the photos came out absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend the team at White Room studio and we will be back next year 🙂

A vintage 80s theme gives you so much room to play. Rich jewel tones, plaid, and classic knits all shine against our retro set, and it’s the perfect excuse to break out something a little more festive than usual.

• Go bold with classic Christmas colours: cranberry red, forest green, and gold work beautifully against the tinsel backdrop.
• Add some texture: Chunky knit sweaters, corduroy, and plaid instantly nod to the era without feeling like a costume.
• Dress the kids for Christmas: A fun Christmas jumper, velvet dress or festive outfit can add a nice pop of colour.
• Don’t worry about matching everyone: Coordinating colours and textures usually look more natural than having everyone in identical outfits.

And if you were tempted to recreate the viral AI 80s photo trend, this is your chance to make the real thing. No prompts, no filters, no AI makeover. Just your family, a very retro Christmas set, and photos you can actually keep.

We wanted this year’s set to feel like a warm hug of nostalgia, the kind of Christmas you remember from childhood, or from old photographs passed down in the family album. After a few years of softer, natural themes, we felt it was time to bring back the sparkle: bold colours, glossy tinsel, and all the joyful excess that made 80s Christmases so much fun. It’s playful, it’s a little retro, and it photographs beautifully.
