CHRISTMAS DAY LIVING ROOM | WINTER WONDERLAND

Everybody dreams of a white Christmas, and although the weather doesn’t always go to plan, this scheme allows you to create your own. Think warm tones of white and blush pinks and nudes to warm the whites, combined with an abundance of flickering candles, fairy lights and stars.

Layering textures such as gorgeous faux-sheepskin throws, oversized knit blankets and textured rugs make sure you don't end up with a cold uncomfortable room, but instead create a calm and cosy ambiance.

GET THE LOOK

REFLECTIVE SURFACES & MATERIALS | Play around with different surfaces to reflect and bounce light. Antique effect mirrors and marble do a great job, like these tiles from Walls & Floors. We also used a wallpaper with a metallic detail which reflect the warm glow from the festoon light wall. We used these fab white festoon lights from Festive Lights.

TEXTURE TEXTURE TEXTURE | Mix wool, knits, faux fur and sheep skins. layering texture creates warmth. Keep your furniture and upholstery in lighter shades of blush pink, and off white then layer with faux fur cushions and over-sized chunky knit throws for comfort. We used these stunning blush chairs from Hugo Ridge in a blush velvet then used sheep skin throws from Hurn & Hurn and knitted cushions from Amara. We just love the oversized knitted blanket from Nordic House, it's just so inviting!

MORE THE MERRIER | If you have the space why not make your room extra festive and make a feature of your fireplace by placing a tree in each alcove. We used two frosted tip trees from Dunelm to style our set and dressed with twinkling fairy lights from Festive Lights and a selection of adorned white, silver and blush pink baubles.

LET THERE BE LIGHT | Lights don’t have to be limited to just the tree, use Festoon lights to light up your walls and cluster candles on your coffee table or fireplace to create a warm glow. We used realistic battery candles from Festive Lights which are a great alternative to real candles as they are safe and don’t need replacing. We also made a feature of our pendant by hanging clustered decorations from Party Pieces.
