HOW TO GET THE LOOK

● Dig into Christmases of yesteryear for this full-of-fun, home-spun look. Find inspiration in your own family’s quirky festive traditions (we all have them!) and celebrate the richness of that history. Personalise this bright and chirpy theme with details that are meaningful to you, such as hand-made decorations, vintage baubles or heritage print papers.

● Create a foundation of tried-and-tested colours and patterns, such as forest greens with candy stripes, then build up your theme using more eclectic items that have special memories or meaning.

● Get playful and add in flashes of fun with rainbow tones and super-kitsch decorations.
