Sparkle, Spice and All Things Nice: How to Prepare Your Home for the Ultimate Festive Season
Homes are the heart of Christmas. Little slices of warm amid the winter weather, where loved ones can come together to enjoy the festive season.
That’s why, this year, we’re on a mission to make our space feel like the set of a Hallmark movie, with just a touch more luxury. Think: Cosy corners with plenty of sparkle and traditional decor meeting utter opulence.
Is anyone with us?
Let’s make our homes feel like Christmas, so that we can all enjoy the season to its fullest.
Get the lighting right
So much about the Christmas season is lighting! Overhead bulbs? No thanks. We’ll be putting out our candles and opting for a soft, warm glow that makes any space feel a whole lot more inviting.
We also love these string lights from Govee for the tree, which allow you complete control over colours and sequences. So whether you want traditional multicoloured decs, or something a little more sophisticated, they’re the perfect choice.
Welcome yourself home
Having a cosy home isn’t just about what’s on the inside. In this case, what’s on the outside definitely does count!
Create a welcoming environment for yourself (and guests) with outdoor decor that is a reflection of just how warm and inviting your house is. This oversized wreath for garages or fences is stunning. We also love a fresh offering, like this red-toned one from FLOWERBX.
Choose the perfect scent
Scent is potentially the most powerful of the senses when it comes to emotion. Create memories that last a lifetime by using gorgeously festive smells around your home.
We crafted our Holiday candle as the ultimate inviting scent for this festive season. It’s uplifting, energising and hand-poured to bring magic to any room.
This fireside smoky aromachology blend includes pure essential oils like warming cassia, soothing nutmeg and stress-relieving orange. It’s like an evening in a ski lodge, wherever you are!
Keep sweet
Does anything say “Christmas” quite like chocolates galore? Whilst decor may be a huge part of creating the festive vibe, having sweet treats on hand can also have a big impact on making a space feel inviting.
These Fortum & Mason Milk and Dark Napolitains are the perfect pick-me-up and these Boja Boja Yuletide Spice truffle logs are a brilliantly festive vegan option.
May we also recommend this stunning crystal sweet dish to bring it all together?
Get cosy
This season truly is all about those finishing touches: Not just the candle you light, but the sofa you snuggle up on to bask in all of the Christmas joy you’ve created in your home.
Perfect for watching The Holiday under, this tartan blanket is traditional Christmas colours and made from recycled wool. Then simply add a few themed throw cushions (we love this velvet one by Royal Design).
