Style advice

Go au naturel

Look to nature for festive décor. Sprigs of holly, kitchen herbs, pinecones and festive fruit, such as clementines, can all make a lovely centrepiece for the table.

Timeless appeal

For a look that won’t date anytime soon, stick to a pared-back neutral colour scheme. At this time of year, a bit of classic red and green is always welcome for an instant Christmas hit that will work year after year.

Festive feels

How you feel in your kitchen is just as important as how it looks. Cosy up your space with fairy lights and candles, mulled wine warming on the stove, soft textures to snuggle up to and some carols playing gently in the background.
