Christmas day is nearly here, so we have put together our favourite tips on how to get your home ready for the festive season. It’s all about the tree This year, flocked Christmas trees are making a comeback. We love this style of tree as it gives a natural, snow covered look, which helps bring a little bit of the outside in. With a lot of outdoor Christmas events cancelled this year, a flocked tree is a great way to remind you of those fresh, snowy days, walking around a Christmas market with a hot chocolate. Now time for the décor… No Christmas tree is complete without baubles. Try adding hints of gold to your tree this season, this is a sophisticated way to bring Christmas into your home, even if you’re a minimalist. Glass baubles are also a great addition to any tree, especially if they are handmade as each one will be unique. Another way to decorate your home for Christmas is to add hints of the festive spirit through your cushions and soft furnishings. Adding different textures such as velvet, faux fur, or even a monogram cushion, can give your home that festive feel. These little extra touches to your home can bring some Christmas luxury that is understated and refined. Fabrics play a huge part in making a house a home, they add another layer of texture and complete the look.
