Yule Tide Décor

 

 

Christmas is a matter of weeks and it's time to start thinking about arranging those decorations.  Don't forget the outside décor too, first impressions matter and can make all the difference to your entrance outside to your home.

Sparkly lights are such a great effect to make a magical scene.  Topiary and pre lit reindeers outside can be seen by those family visitors and passers by wowing and admiring your style and effort.  keep your front door fresh with neutral colours and hang on a freshly leafy green baubled wreath for the finished look.

 

 

 

 

A Winter's Tale

 

 



Strawberry House Interiors are a beautiful store in Castle Donington, near Derby.  They're window displays of icicle lights and crystal Christmas decorations look absolutely gorgeous.  Colours of white and silver with glimmers of pearlised berries.  Inside displays show frosty effects of Christmas tree's and decorative garlands to surround your home.  Hanging diamonte style jewels and glamorous chandeliers gives inspirations from your ceilings if you can.

Surround candles and diffusers with seasonal scent and vases full of xmas foliage.

The magic of Christmas interior can bring such joy and a sense of well being, dontforget the fur, baubles, glitter, fairy lights, crystals, pine cones, and all that shimmers.....Merry Christmas!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy and set the scene!

 

 





Inspiration

Ok so we haven't hit December yet & I am already starting the festive posts but I just loved this creative decoration idea. I have little garden hanging jars that are presently just collecting water in the garden. But what a lovely idea to bring them inside for the festive season & fill them with sprigs of Holly & pretty flowers, maybe add some beads. Its certainly an idea I will be using.



Why not use jars, tins or even votive's as little vases for your Christmas table setting. Improvising & using these as small vases makes a more subtle table display without being over bearing.I love to see flowers in table displays at Christmas, white roses look stunning against white table linen & metallic silver or gold table wear for a sophisticated & timeless look. 

Moodboard Inspiration

                                                           Moody grey tones

Moody grey tones are bang on trend right now. Although grey has always been a timeless palette, & can be used in both contemporary or traditional room schemes. Being a neutral colour it has a very calming & tranquil affect.

 

Dark moody walls work wonderfully as a back drop against warm neutral furniture. For a cosy, country feel choose distressed tan leather sofas & chairs & opt for chocolate shades of wood like walnut to compliment this. The darker shades of grey like slates & clays, team well with other lighter neutral tones & have a real autumn feel.

 

However dark colours can make a room look dreary if you are not careful especially with these dark evenings drawing in, so bring your space to life with large mirrors to bounce around some light & don’t forget to select good lighting. Add in other lighter neutral tones in accessories, maybe a seasonal fur through in a soft cream or even a snowy white.

 

When choosing your wall paint I suggest checking out Little Green Paint Company’s new Grey collection.  There are seven variations on four different grey colours making twenty eight individual swatches on the fabulous new colour card, so there really is something for everyone

 

 

If you are not brave enough to slap on the seasonal dark slate shades to your walls why not go for a lighter tone & add the darker shades into accessories & fabrics. Adding plums & metallic’s gives a softer more romantic feel especially when you layer textures.

Inspiring spaces

A little bit of eye candy for you today. I love this fresh yet quirky space. A few statement furniture pieces mixed with some fun accessories make it a really individual style.
