Here’s how to transform your home (and garden) into a festive little wonderland.
1. Switch On the Soft Glow
There’s something about warm lighting that just says Christmas without trying too hard. Fairy lights. Lanterns. Candles (real or LED if the dog’s a liability). Scatter them wherever you’d naturally put clutter - it’s instant cosiness.
2. Bring in Winter Greens
If you can’t get to a forest, bring the forest to you. Think eucalyptus, spruce, pine, juniper. Fresh or faux. On the table, on the mantle, around picture frames… even a little swag on a bedroom door feels quietly luxe.
3. Upgrade Your Textures
Chunky throws, velvet cushions, wool rugs. Winter is the season of “touchable” interiors. Choose deep greens, burgundy, warm taupe, and let your sofa do the festive flirting for you.
4. Think Tiny Touches
Not every home needs a full-on Santa takeover. Sleek brass ornaments, small wooden trees, paper garlands, or a ceramic house that lights up. Curate little moments around the room that make you smile when you walk past.
5. Cosy Kitchen, Cosy Life
Your kitchen does a lot of heavy lifting at this time of year. Dress it up with a seasonal tea towel, a jar of homemade (or store-bought… no judgement) biscuits, and maybe a festive wreath hanging on a cupboard door.
6. Garden Glow-Up
Garden looking a bit bare? Add frosted pots, winter pansies, lantern stakes, or an outdoor wreath. Even a small balcony can feel festive with a string of lights and a well-placed potted tree.
7. The Christmas Table, But Chic
Forget the plastic table confetti from 2007. Think linen runners, candles at different heights, natural greenery, and one standout piece: a stunning bowl, platter, or centrepiece that does the talking. Bonus points for tying napkins with twine and a little sprig of rosemary.
