Nostalgic Noel

‘Tis the season for comfort and joy so bring a relaxed and cosy feel into your living room with warming colours that really spell out Christmas. Sprinkle some magical details around the room like these classic tartan touches in berry colours to enhance the festive spirit. Add plenty of knitted, patterned throws and cushions in rustic, earthy tones and continue the theme onto your tree using jolly, embellished decorations. Treat the mantelpiece to a ruby red berry garland and fill the hearth with a warm glow and scent of festive candles. Spread some joy with a hanging stocking filled with tempting goodies and a cheery bunting decoration

Cosy knits

Sticking to the classic red and green shades, cosy up seating for all your extra guests with woolly knits and luxury velvets. Treat your sofa to one or two seasonal cushions adding to the festive cheer and festivities. A red throw adds a further splash of festive colour, instantly transforming an old sofa. Collect twigs from a woodland walk, spray them white and hang numbered envelopes, filled with sweets for a quick and easy alternative to this year’s Advent calendar
