Transform Your Home Into A Winter Wonderland This Christmas
5 Interior design tips from Shackletons
There’s nothing more magical than waking up on Christmas morning to a festive home. Everyone’s Christmas should reflect their unique personality and traditions. But, creating the perfect backdrop for your holiday memories shouldn’t take a Christmas miracle. To help, Shackletons resident elves have decided to share their top tips.
1. Embrace Natural Beauty
Nature is a huge part of what makes winter feel Christmassy. This year create a warm and inviting atmosphere that celebrates the natural beauty of the season. How? By incorporating natural elements into your design. Adorn your home with pine cones, evergreen wreaths and dried fruit garlands. If you’re looking for a DIY project this holiday season, why not create your own? Find the perfect tree at Shackletons, cut off a few branches and create a decorative centrepieces.
2. Lavish Layers
Layering is a fantastic way to create a rich, characterful setting. Every element within a space can be thought of as a layer. The key to layering is finding pieces that work cohesively together. Layers should have their own unique appeal, yet connect the theme of Christmas through the space. If you’re looking to get started, we recommend creating a mood board for inspiration. Use photos, samples, paints and clippings to see what works for you.
3. Choose Comforting Colours
A well-thought-out colour scheme sets the tone for your Christmas experience. We recommend working with the colours of your home and exploring blends of colour, patterns, textures and tones. Be sure to incorporate colours associated with Christmas; dark greens, silky creams, deep reds, metallics and cool blues. Don’t forget the colour of your lights too. The colour of your lights can have a great impact on how the space feels.
4. Adorn with Candles
The warm glow of a candle flame is a must at Christmas. Try seasonal scented candles and fill your home with festive scents that capture the essence of Christmas. Think pine trees, cinnamon, winter berries, baked ginger treats, and rich smoky fragrances.
5. Make it Personal
Above all, Christmas is a time to think of the ones we care about. That’s why personal touches make all the difference. Incorporate meaningful personal touches, with handmade decorations and framed photos. They provide great talking points and make the space feel homely.
