Festive finishing touches

DIY DECS

If you haven’t yet got a Christmas wreath, there’s still time to DIY one with a kit from subscription company Flowerbe. It has two options: Natural (browns and greens) or Festive (reds and oranges). Kits come with materials such as pine, moss, eucalyptus, dried fruit, cinnamon sticks and ribbon, plus assembly instructions. For making garlands and other decorations, Flowerbe also sells a box of prettifying ingredients that includes the above, with scented tea lights and wooden ornaments. flowerbe.co.uk

PAINTERLY PRESENTS

There’s plenty around for fans of the Bloomsbury Group, with several homeware companies having recently launched products inspired by Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant et al. Textile designer Cressida Bell – Vanessa’s granddaughter – has created a collection of colourful geometric cushions for the charity Fine Cell Work, while Sussex-based designer Molly Mahon, who cites nearby Charleston house as inspiration, has a wealth of blockprinted wares that would make perfect presents, from cushions, blankets and table linens to washbags and eye masks. Finally, paint producer Annie Sloan has created a ‘keepsake box’ in collaboration with Charleston. Containing waxes, brushes and Bloomsburyinspired paints, it’s an ideal gift for those who want to try their hand at home. finecellwork.co.uk; mollymahon. com; anniesloan.com

CHRISTMAS CROCKERY

Tableware doesn’t get much brighter than the new offering from Versace Home. Produced with porcelain brand Rosenthal, the Reflections of Holidays collection includes plates, coffee cups, dishes and tree decorations in typically baroque Versace style, printed with ornate baubles and bows in a maximalist palette of red, purple, blue, green and gold. rosenthal.co.uk
