Make It Magical: Festive Flourishes For Modern Homes
This year, it’s the little flourishes that’ll make it feel like Christmas. In search of this festive feeling, we’ve put together a shortlist of some of our favourite winter designs, each of which promises to remain a staple long after the in-laws have left town. From whimsical lighting to plush stone-n-brass schemes, they reveal a grown up take on seasonal interior styling.
Let It Glow
Fairy lights have their charm but they are no match for a perfectly placed pendant in a gloomy north-facing room. This season, energise your home and its inhabitants with ethereal lighting solutions that’ll tide you through the darkest months of the year.
Set In Stone
Of all the sublime stones we know and love, white marbles are among the most precious. Cool in summer, exquisite in winter, their inclusion in your festive decorating promises to revive every childhood fantasy of a white Christmas. For a truly rich and uplifting scheme, be sure to pair with gold and brass accent details.
Serving Style
Overindulging in food and family at Christmas is the one tradition we’ll never tire of. Deck the tables with delicate candelabras and maximise your time with loved ones with a handy bar-trolley — your hosting must-have this season.
Pick A Theme
Over the years, we’ve seen a concerted attempt to steer Yuletide away from its gaudy green’n’red styling and into more tonal waters. And while we love a moody mauve tablescape as much as the next aesthete, we understand that, in some households, it’s not Christmas if the house isn’t decked in crimson. To help you decide which way you you’ll go, we’ve selected a couple of our favourite festive settings, old and new.
Winter Warmers
On this most intimate of Christmas’, we encourage you to decorate for comfort with feel-good furnishings and plush textiles. Organic fibres like jute, linen and wool are best — with bonus style points for the use of sheepskin in cool Scandi schemes.
