Use as a striking accent colour.

Cool Yule

This one goes for all of you who enjoy the excitement of Christmas. Cold dark December evenings, roaring fires, mulled wine and all the gorgeous decorations.
Here are some of my favourite images to get you in the spirit of Christmas.

A festive front door sets the tone for a Christmas home. A stylish wreath is always a yearly must for me and a great way to welcome your festive guests.

I love the modern take on this wreath. Simple yet effective combination of soft and hazy berry colours with festive greens.

Including scented foliage like firs, dried limes, oranges and cinnamon is a more traditional take on a wreath that not only looks fabulous but also smells divine.

A mantelpiece is a great place to let your imagination fly.

Decorate with big bold flowers and evergreens, candles and pine cones.

For the more minimal look, hang simple fairy lights and baubles.
