Scandi-style is big in Christmas interiors
this year
Create an angelic table this
Christmas with these Angel Napkin
rings from Seld, £12 for 4
Berry Wreath, £25 from Leekes
If like me, you always drool over the large set ups you see in Christmas homewares catalogues and imagine twenty guests sitting at a perfectly arranged, elegant table full of towering candelabras, perfectly positioned plates and sparkling wine glasses; but in reality, knowing this will never happen (my neat, oval shaped table that seats 6, or 8 at a squeeze won´t live up to such style!) then join me in a bit of seasonal indulgence with my top three Christmas interiors picks…
As they say, first impressions count, so why not set the seasonal tone at your front door with this festive, Scandi-style berry wreath from home store, Leekes? Right on trend for the rustic look that’s big this year, this is the perfect wreath for the more minimal interiors fan, or those of you looking to create a more natural look rather than tinsel-tastic decorations. This wreath will look great from one year to the next, and priced at £25 it’s an absolute steal.
As I´ve said, this year, the Scandinavian inspired look is big: it´s all about going for a simple but oh so stylish combination of pared back neutrals such as this Christmas table – a traditional style red and white runner and napkins by Himla and a rustic looking table by de Spieghel, both available in store and online at Living in Store - looks fantastic and is right on trend this year. In other words, you can still create a stunning, welcoming and designer looking table without going over the top. Hooray for those of us that think less is more!
Sprucing up your table with decorative napkin rings is also another easy, quick fix that will get your guests oohing and ahhing. These gorgeous Angel Napkin Rings from online interiors store, Seld, will serve well for entertaining all year round, but also have a bit of Christmas about them. Sold in a set of 4, they really are too pretty to hide away after Christmas and would add a beautiful finishing touch to your table on any special occasion. They measure H8cm x W10cm and cost £12 per set. Order online at Seld´s website.
