Shiny berries, lush branches and velvety flowers… Do you feel like a nostalgic Christmas this year and are you curious about how you can combine your Christmas decorations with a Christmas tree without it being over the top? We have listed a few ideas for you.
Cosy moments
Rich materials and warm colours are the ingredients you need for a magical and nostalgic atmosphere at home. Don't leave the decoration with the Christmas tree and the dinner table, remember to make your entire sitting area feel warm and welcome. Decorate a tray or plateau with favourite trinkets and personal things like coffee table books, dried flowers, an eccentric candlestick or a sweet tea set.
Choose materials like velvets, ceramics, brass and refined wood structures. These combinations provide an exciting look whilst maintaining a timeless feel.

“Go with a warm colour palette filled with terracotta, wine reds and spice shades. Christmas classics such as the Ilex and rosehip branch give any room a magical atmosphere.” – Ferdinand, Art Director
A calm base
Christmas baubles, wreaths, bouquets and crockery: the art of finding balance in your holiday decoration is to create a calm and cohesive base. You can do this by choosing one base colour and applying the ton-sur-ton technique: use different shades and tones of that one colour. We have opted for a soft pastel shade.
Choose tableware in round and organic shapes, these provide a soft wholesomeness. Give your look a cool edge with a lavish Christmas wreath, in this blog we explain how to make your own.

Floral overload
When you walk into a home with flowers, you feel instantly embraced. Floral design can be vividly present and eye-catching. How do you make sure it doesn't clash with the rest of your holiday decorations? By matching the Christmas baubles to the colours of your bouquet, for example. Our Edition 'Red Cinnamon' is full of luscious wine-toned, cinnamon-coloured branches. Would you like your Christmas tree to really stand out against the flowers? Go for paper decorations and baubles with a matte texture.

Dazzling Christmas decorations
The dinner table is the central spot of the holiday season and therefore deserves extra attention. Make it personal by decorating each place setting in a unique way. For example, decorate the plate with typical Christmas classics such as the ilex-branch or rosehip, place a cozy Christmas bauble on each plate as a memento of a magical evening and complete the floral celebration with presents wrapped with ribbons and flowers. On this page we show you how to make this yourself.
