Festive Trio

All that glitters

Creating a sense of luxury is all about the details. In this setting, a panelled wall, plush velvet sofa and brass or gold elements come together to evoke a feeling of classical elegance. In contrast, we kept the festive pieces simple and understated.

Alternative tree Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make the most impact. In place of a tree, we hung three glittery stars against a cool, white backdrop to create a subtle, festive feel. The sparkle of the stars sits well alongside the brass items, artwork and the star on the coffee table, and makes the room work as a whole.

Wrapping To allow the glittering elements to take centre stage, we kept the presents simple yet chic with glossy black paper, gold cord and luxe gift tags.

Peachy keen

A neutral scheme promotes ease of living and gives you the freedom to add a few hints of colour, as we’ve done here with peach and apricot. This room is filled with natural elements that create interest yet are still harmonious.
