The festive season is a time for gathering with loved ones, creating memories, and showcasing the beauty of your home.

Whether you’re hosting a grand Christmas party or a cosy family dinner, setting the tone starts with thoughtful home décor.

Here are five must-haves to ensure your home is both stylish and functional during the holidays.

 

A Grand Entrance 

Every celebration begins at the front door, so why not make your entrance as inviting as the festivities inside?

A well-chosen doormat does more than protect your floors, it’s a chance to create a first impression brimming with seasonal charm.

Add a sprinkle of sweetness to your doorstep with our charming Gingerbread Doormat. Cute, quirky, and full of festive cheer, it’s crafted from natural coir with a sturdy vinyl backing, ensuring it stands up to wintery weather while spreading joy to all who visit.

Deck the Halls

Your hallway is the first glimpse your guests have of your interior. A stunning hallway runner instantly transforms this often-overlooked space into a warm, inviting feature.

Opt for rich textures and patterns in warm, inviting tones to create a cosy welcome. A runner with a hint of metallic detailing or a nature-inspired motif works perfectly for the season.

Transform your hallway this festive season with the Aurora Cloud Runner. Featuring a soft neutral palette and a striking metallic sheen, it brings understated luxury to any space. Both elegant and practical, it’s perfect for high-traffic areas during the holidays and beyond.

Similarly, our Strawberry Thief Runner brings timeless charm to your home. Featuring the iconic William Morris design, it blends rich colours and intricate patterns, adding heritage style and elegance to any space. Perfect for creating a striking hallway statement.

Stress-Free Party Clean-Up

Hosting during the holidays is all about embracing the moments, but let’s face it – spills and messes are almost inevitable.

Washable rugs are the unsung heroes of festive décor, combining beauty with practicality. Available in an array of designs to complement any home, these rugs let you enjoy the festivities without worrying about the aftermath. 

When the party’s over, simply pop your rug in the wash. This will leave your space looking as fresh and flawless as it did before. They’re the perfect solution for busy homes during the holiday season, where life and laughter take centre stage.

The Art of Cosy Comfort

The festive season is as much about relaxation as it is a celebration. Your living space should invite guests to unwind in style. Plush cushions and soft throws in luxurious textures and seasonal shades transform any seating area into a cosy retreat.

Layer them in rich jewel tones, like emerald or deep ruby, for a sophisticated touch, or choose contrasting accents to complement the sparkle of the season. 

Our Honeysuckle & Tulip throw and matching cushion make the perfect pair. The cushion, in a rich coppery saffron hue, adds a warm, inviting glow to any space. While the throw, in a striking teal emerald tone, brings depth and elegance.

Not only do these accessories add comfort, but they also provide the perfect finishing flourish to your festive décor.

Unwind in Style

After being the host with the most, you deserve some well-earned rest. 

Wrap yourself in luxury with our cosy dressing gowns – perfect for unwinding in style after the festivities. 

Perfect for off-duty lounging, the Photo Magnolia robe by Ted Baker is a luxury essential. Featuring a floral design, patch pockets and a belt tie, this wonderfully soft and fluffy bathrobe is made from sumptuous 100% cotton ensuring the utmost level of absorbency whilst remaining luxuriously soft.

Treat yourself to a little “you” time, you’ve earned it!
