The time has come to cover your home in fake snow, ivy leaves and a random assortment of Santa Claus memorabilia (which seems to grow every year…) This year, avoid the classic holiday decorating tropes and take it back to basics: sight, smell and touch.
SIGHT
Once you have the Christmas tree trimmed and the wreath hung on the door, now to focus on the rest of the home. Bring light into your home this Christmas, with eccentric lights from Seletti. If you can manage to keep yet another thing alive, use seasonal foliage such as holly, ivy and berry branches to bring an outdoor winter element into your home. Try wrapping it around banisters or in vases from Skultana.
SMELL
If you’re going down the faux route this year then the smell will be one of the most crucial sections of your holiday decor. Seasonal scents such as pine, cranberry, gingerbread and cinnamon are just a few options for candles and scented decor this Christmas. Evoke seasonal floral’s, baked goods and Christmas cheer with candles from Cire Trudon and Diptyque. Candles from Gucci and Lladrò can also be used as decorative pieces that will last you all year long.
TOUCH
Creating a warm and cozy environment in your home this Christmas is essential, with friends and family relaxing, lingering and reminiscing about past celebrations. Pillows in rich jewel tones and soft fabrics will encourage snuggling sessions in living rooms around the Christmas tree (or if you’re lucky the fire.) Embroidered pillows from Etro and Gucci are the perfect background for the excitement of opening presents while throws from LPJ-Studios and Versace will keep you warm as the snow falls outside.
