Pembroke Cobalt Merino Wool Throw, Designers Guild<\/strong><\/p>\n If you enjoy traditional Christmas patterns but don’t want to incorporate bolder colours, add Nordic-inspired scatter cushions in neutral tones for a subtler take on the festive theme.<\/p>\n Boho Velvets Fabric, Sanderson by Sanderson Design<\/strong><\/p>\n There is certainly a chill in the air; to keep out the cold, consider a heavier thermal curtain in rich tones. The heavier drape keeps the warmth in but also looks luxurious, perfect for the living room and bedrooms.<\/p>\n Sunflower Velvet Fabric in Kermes\/Birch, by Morris & Co<\/p>\n Set the Mood with Intimate Lighting<\/p>\n Place clusters of scented candles on side tables, shelves or in lanterns for a beautiful, warm glow. Choose traditional scents such as cinnamon, orange, clove or pine to fill your home with the scent of Christmas.<\/p>\n Juliette table lamp in crystal and gild, at Andrew Martin.<\/p>\n In the evenings, an overhead ceiling light can often be too bright, especially if you want to create a warm atmosphere. Side table lamps are a wonderful option as they are so versatile; there are many different base and shade options to suit your style, and they allow you to customise the mood of your room.<\/p>\n If you have a fireplace, make it the focal point of your room. Decorate with a garland, stockings and candles for a quintessentially British look.<\/p>\n Create a Festive Dining Table<\/p>\n To create a classic Christmas table, choose a white tablecloth and lay a festive table runner down the centre with matching napkins to tie the decor together. Choose your own fabric to create a unique look. A centrepiece of candles, fresh foliage and pinecones can transform your table. Finally, add some metallic accents, such as gold or silver baubles, for a touch of glamour. Mixing tones creates a sophisticated look without losing the whimsical feel of the holiday.<\/p>\n Aileana Eden Printed Cotton Fabric, sold by the metre, at Voyage Maison<\/p>\n Incorporate Nature-Inspired Decor<\/p>\n Holly and ivy are classic British evergreens that you can use to decorate your staircase, hang over mirrors or create a table centrepiece. Hang mistletoe in your hallway; it’s a fun and traditional way to spread some festive cheer. Finally, hang a beautifully decorated wreath on your front door to make your home look welcoming. There are many wreath styles, from paired-back modern, glitzy and bold to traditional, to celebrate the season.<\/p>\n Keep Warm Underfoot<\/p>\n Adding rugs to your home in the winter is a must, especially if you have wooden, laminate or tiled floors. Rugs with a high pile add a cosy and luxurious feel. Don\u2019t forget the addition of antislip underlay to prevent any slips or trips.<\/p>\n Mishima Flint Rug, Designers Guild<\/p>\n For more Interior Design Inspiration<\/a>, take a look at Cheshire Curtains and Interior\u2019s blog<\/a> or get in touch with our team using our contact form, and we can discuss your next project.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for a cosy Christmas begins by incorporating a few key elements.
