This Christmas is set to be all about the little things, the small moments that make Christmas truly memorable, and with that in mind we have put together our top tips on how to create a joyful, uplifting space that kindles warmth, tactility and togetherness, with simple comforts and fond, family traditions.
1.Nostalgia – Red and gold are looking to be two of the top trending colours of Christmas 2022; a timeless look that evokes a quintessential Christmas. This trend encompasses the renascence of vintage Christmas favourites such as nutcracker ornaments and tree candles that provide warmth and nostalgia. Using vintage details like old crockery and passed down tablecloths can help to evoke fond memories and is also environmentally friendly. Paper ornaments are huge this year too and have bags of nostalgic appeal, harking back to traditional Christmas crafts.
2.Gonks – Gonks were the most in demand Christmas accessory last year and they are set to be even more popular this year. Steeped in centuries old tradition, gonks are said to protect homes throughout the winter solstice and festive season.They are super simple to weave into your Christmas décor. Place one either side of a fireplace to make it a standout feature in your living room, style up your entrance and create a warm welcome with a standing gonk or group them together to create your own little festive family.

3.Bring the outside in – The benefits of bringing the outdoors in are endless, so it is no surprise that a sprinkle of nature will be influencing our Christmas decorations once again this year. Our ‘A Winter’s Tale’ theme combines crisp greens with warm caramel tones blended from natural materials to give a rustic look that is rich in detail. To really perfect this trend, you should go big on foliage and decorate with wildlife-inspired baubles and ornaments.Subtly add in lush greens to your decor with things like green candles on your fireplace or olive sofa cushions placed on your sofa to give that natural touch without going overboard.
Another simple way to weave in this trend is with a door wreath. Inspired by the beauty of nature with contrasting textures, rich fragrances, and striking colours our beautiful local, handmade wreaths by Hazel are the perfect festive welcome.
