5 easy home styling tips for Christmas

Christmas has finally arrived. The time for twinkling lights, roaring fires, and gathering everyone you love around the table. It’s when your home really comes to life, and a few thoughtful touches can make it feel extra special.

We’ve put together a few simple ideas to help you bring a festive feel to your space this season.

1. Make your table the star of the show

Let’s face it, the best part about Christmas is the food. Whether you eat at lunchtime, or gather together for an evening sitting, the Christmas dinner is the heart of the day. Full of laughter, stories, and maybe the odd cracker joke. 

Dress up your dining table with a simple runner, a few sprigs of greenery from the garden, and some candles at different heights. You don’t need to go overboard (unless you want to!) - natural touches and soft candlelight will make your table feel just as cosy and inviting as an elaborate and expensive display.

If you’ve got a sideboard or dresser, it’s a lovely place to display your favourite festive bits too - a few baubles, a bowl of pinecones, or even a jug of winter foliage.

2. Bring in natural textures

Wooden furniture and soft materials go hand in hand, and Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate that. Layer your wooden furniture with fluffy throws, chunky knit cushions, and plenty of textures that make you want to snuggle in.

Adding a touch of the outdoors inside with a simple garland of ivy, eucalyptus, or fir can instantly make a room feel festive. Drape it across your mantel or along a shelf. It’ll smell wonderful!

3. Set the scene for good times

A big part of Christmas is gathering together, whether that’s around the table for a roast or curled up by the fire with a glass of mulled wine and a festive movie.

Whether you’re watching Home Alone, The Grinch, or The Holiday, your wooden TV unit makes the perfect base for those moments. Add a few tea lights or tinsel to sprinkle some extra magic to these nostalgic film nights.

4. Add some subtle scents

You know it’s Christmas the moment you smell cinnamon, pine, and orange. Bring those lovely festive scents into your home with candles or diffusers. Failing all else, a freshly baked batch of mince pies will also do the trick!

5. Keep it simple and meaningful

Christmas doesn’t have to be about going big. It’s about creating spaces that feel loved and lived in.
