Christmas
CHRISTMAS is the one time of year where you get to
change up your decor, indulge and, most of all, have
fun with it as you trim your tree, hang your garlands
and generally go to town with festive touches. It’s all
about creating a feeling of warmth throughout your
home, as you prepare to welcome visitors aplenty for
fun and festivities over the Christmas season.
While traditional colour schemes of red and green,
or uber-glam black and gold or navy and copper
combinations remain popular with the discerning
festive decorator, we’re seeing a heavy dose of kitsch
creeping into Christmas. Those enduring summer
motifs - think all things cactus, flamingo, pineapple
and this year’s favourite, the llama - have all had
a seasonal makeover, influencing everything from
tree baubles to wreaths, advent calendars and more.
Colours, too, are bright and bold; think hot pink, lime
green and sunshine yellow for a festive season with
added pop.
Tinsel may have had its moment in the spotlight this
time last year, but for 2018 swathes of fluffy metallic
glitter have been replaced by multicoloured pom pom
garlands; use them to dress the tree, add a dash of
festive fun to the fireplace or drape around window
displays. Want to make it even more kitsch? Just add
fairy lights!
