Christmas
is the most wonderful time of the year, but for many, it’s also
one of the busiest. Between gift buying, food preparing and party attending we still
need to find the time to transform our homes into a wintry
wonderland. Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle over the festive decoration
this year, instead take inspiration from our interior experts and style the
perfect dining table, accessorize a beautiful festive lounge or put the
finishing touches on your tree or wreath. From an abundance of pretty baubles and bows, to a
delicate glittering snow scheme, there are many different ways to decorate your
home at Christmas time and we love them all! For this feature, we thought we'd
take a peek at the slightly more modern approach to yuletide festivities, keeping
color palettes limited and fresh, and decorations sweetly simple.
A paired down, candy cane color scheme of just
red and white can be fabulously
effective in a pale room.
If your walls are very dark or have a lot of
pattern, then white accessories may be all you need, a collection of different
shapes and textures will play with light and shadow to ice your room with a
soft frosted look.
If space is limited, decorating with light
can be a terrific solution to twinkle your way through December, using hanging
star lights with pretty cuts outs, and adding a sprinkling of candle light to
create the ultimate cozy factor.
Of course we couldn’t leave out the most
popular color plan of red, gold and green, which always
looks storybook perfect by a roaring fire. Resist the tangle of tinsel for your
tree, and instead opt for wide curls of luxurious ribbon to achieve an up to
date edge.
For a completely coordinated look, don’t
forget to match the color of your gift wrapping to your tree toys!
