I think my Christmas decorating style is going to be pretty simple this year. I’m going to overdose on fairylights and place t-light candles everywhere. I also love to decorate with mossy branches, ferns, foliage, mistletoe, berries and wreaths and this year will be no different. All very natural and woodsy. I want my rooms to feel as cosy as possible, with fluffy cushions and throws.
Whatever you may be doing this christmas, keep it simple and find a colour palette you love. You may go for greenery, winter whites or embrace all the kitsch, but whatever you choose the trick is to be consistent and reign in the colour palette. If you do this you can mix and match but it’ll all still look pulled together.
Don’t forget scents! They’re so intoxicating and evocative and make your home feel so decadent. Think about placing foliage which smells beautiful around your home. Thyme, rosemary and eucalyptus all do this.
My favourite Christmas tradition has to be watching ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ on Christmas Eve, it started with my dad when I was little and Mark and I have kept up this tradition. I love it more each year.
