Festive Homemaking: Add A Touch of Christmas to Your Interiors
With the festive period well and truly upon us, it’s time to deck your halls with Christmas trinkets and decorations galore. No house feels more like a home than throughout the festive period, with everything from dressed trees adorning the fireplace to Robin scattered cushions and wreath wrapped staircases on show.
While the majority of us will be well versed when it comes to all things baubles, tinsel and glistening outdoor lights, retailers have been increasing their festive offering two-fold, meaning there’s more decorations available than ever before. Gone are the days when decks were reserved for the tree, there’s now a whole host of ways to inject a dash of Christmas personality into your home interiors.
Count Down the Sleeps
If your bed isn’t dressed for the occasion is it even really Christmas? Whether you’re a fan of a subtle hint to the trend or more interested in an all-out festive display, what better way to countdown the sleeps ‘til the big day than by being wrapped up in your very own jolly duvet. December is a notoriously busy time for all and by investing in interiors that are not only Christmassy, but support quality sleep, such as quality bedding and blackout curtains, you’re much more likely to feel refreshed and ready for the celebrations! As well as a huge array of Christmas themed bedding sets, there’s also a fantastic selection of blackout curtains from Terrys Fabrics available in wintery styles, perfect for some well-deserved rest over the festive period.
Forage Foliage
Though the tree will forever be a focal point, the festive foliage certainly doesn’t have to stop there. Draping bushels of foliage, leafage and everything in between can look both tasteful and beautiful if done right, whilst adding the perfect festive hint to your living space. For the ultimate statement, consider intertwining a real garland, complete with twinkly fairy lights, around your staircase or bannister.
Build a Drink Station
Christmas time is the pinnacle when it comes to at home entertaining, with friends and family popping in and out as they please. Creating a drinks station is the perfect nod to festive tradition whilst also being a practical solution to your Christmas tipple offerings. Whilst most spots on the high street have drinks trolley’s available to purchase, a more cost effective solution would be to simply make your own.
Add Winter Warmers
Little touches make any home feel cosy no matter what time of year, but in the lead up to Christmas, festive soft furnishings are an absolute must. Not only are additional furnishings pretty to look at, they’re also practical, offering both style and comfort. Updating your home interiors over the festive period to include specifically Christmassy products is an easy way to update your home, simply switch out your rest of the year accessories for the month of December. With everything from LED light up cushions to reindeer patterned fleecy throws available, there’s something for everyone!
DIY a Personal Touch
Christmas offers the perfect opportunity to get creative and inject some personality into your home. Consider hanging decorative string above your mantle or along your staircase to hang your greetings cards from. Not only will this look adorable, it’s a great way to display the messages of love sent from friends and family.
