BOXING DAY

Following the extravagance of Christmas Day, it’s time for a more low-key gathering. Whether you’re planning to keep things small, or you have lots of family and friends visiting, everyone will welcome a cosy and relaxed setting. Introduce slubby, stonewashed table linens for a casual feel, and build a warm colour scheme with rich jewel tones and hints of gold
