Prepare yourselves for a month chock-a-block of Christmas blog posts! We’ve got the best bloggers showing us just how they’re decorating their homes this Christmas. First up is Julia from Rain Beau Belle who is introducing Christmas one week at a time…
As soon as the first day of December comes around, the little ones in my house are asking for the tree to go up, the Christmas decorations to come out and the countdown to the big man in red’s visit to really begin. I’m never quite ready to decorate the house until maybe the second week of the month – it just seems too early – but I do let a few festive things creep in around the home.
This lit winter wreath looks really natural and I love how it brings greenery and sparkle into my living room. It can be hung outside in a sheltered spot so I think I will put it on my front door on Christmas Eve, but for the most part it will be staying where I can admire it from the comfort of my sofa! I’ve also tried it in the kitchen and
Buying flowers for your home is a wonderful way of adding a pop of colour or scent to a room. If you’d like some advice on which blooms to buy and how best to look after them, here are some top tips from our interiors experts.
When choosing flowers, think initially about which room you’re going to put them in. Consider the room’s colour scheme. Are you going to choose flowers which are the same colour as the room? So, pink flowers for a room with a predominantly pink colour palette. Or perhaps you’re looking to clash with an accent or complementary colour, like yellow blooms in a purple room?
Next consider where you’re going to place your flowers. Is there a perfect spot on a coffee table, console or side table? What about a mantelpiece or windowsill? Or perhaps a shelf or an empty hearth? Wherever you decide, make sure that you keep your flowers away from direct sunlight and radiators, as the heat will mean that they won’t last long. You could choose flowers of one type
What is the perfect way to add the finishing touch to your bathroom or kitchen? How about The Laura Ashley collection from British Ceramic Tile? Their tile collections have been designed as the ideal complement to the wide range of interior furnishings from Laura Ashley. Jane from the blog Tea With Ruby has been experimenting with a few of the tiles… Tiles never go out of fashion but lately they seem to have been having a bit of a resurgence especially with the growing trend for geometric prints and monochrome schemes.
My ever wandering eye is always drawn to that of the pared back muted tones of black and white and all the subtly beautiful hues of grey in between. From the clothes that hang in my wardrobe to the decor in my home, this colour palette is most definitely the one for me. So, when I found out that not only do Laura Ashley create stylish interiors for your home but also have their own range of tiles in collaboration with British Ceramics, my heart skipped a beat. The H

The botanical trend is still going strong, but if your an accidental plant killer, fear not. We've got some gorgeous faux house plants to brighten up your interior in 2018.
From tropical banana trees and bird of paradise plants to Japanese bamboo, trailing plants and the plant of the moment, the Pilea, otherwise known as the Chinese money plant. By using faux plants in your home or workplace, you don’t necessarily need to choose a species that would usually thrive in your climate, meaning you can go for whichever statement plant you like to add impact to a room.
Rustic style is one of the interior trends for 2019. The rustic interior design creates an eclectic look that emphasises nature: recycled, handmade item, handicrafts, constructed with natural materials or finished in natural tones.
What would your dream living room look like? How often do you look at your living room decor and wish you would have gone in a different direction? From simplicity of pared back Scandinavia style, the cosiness of the Danish Hygge? or perhaps you prefer an eclectic mix of colour, texture and pattern? Whatever your preference, the design and style of your living room form an important core to any home.
