“We’re delighted to share our new Habitat Christmas homewares collections for 2022 as we look ahead to a season full of festivities and traditions. We’ve created two collections perfect for adding those little festive touches around the home as winter arrives and we start to look forward to Christmas. Festive Folk offers a joyful Finnishinspired look well-suited to contemporary tastes, while Winter Solstice emulates a classic, sophisticated style with a nod to alpine ski lodges. Both collections have been designed with longevity in mind, being suitable for use long after the Christmas season is over.”
Festive Folk
Festive Folk is an optimistic style embracing cheerful motifs and patterns inspired by traditional Nordic folk design, in a vibrant palette of primary colours. Hand-drawn prints and graphic typography add a playful, contemporary feel to the collection, with textiles, tableware and accessories in a range of bright colours. The hero of the collection is a range of hand-blown confetti glass candles, emitting a soft dappled glow perfect for winter nights at home.
54 FESTIVE FOLK
6 7 Nordic Prints “A series of in-house illustrated prints define this collection, which look to folk art for inspiration. Repeating geometric motifs evoke all the hallmarks of a Nordic winter from snowflakes to pine trees and berries, while bold pops of mustard, azure and violet are a modern nod to Christmas that isn’t overtly festive.” Andrew Tanner Habitat Head of Design Habitat Festive Shapes Nibble Bowl £3 Habitat Festive Shapes Mug £4.50 Habitat Festive Snowflakes Ceramic Coasters 4pk £8.25 Habitat Festive Shapes Serve Bowl £15 FESTIVE FOLK

“Bring informal festive accents to the table with textiles such as patterned runners and ruby red napkins. Step up the game with small clusters of Christmas baubles woven in between lengths of fresh or faux evergreen foliage for added seasonal flair. To add height, add candleholders - play with different heights for more of a mismatched, eclectic feel.”
“We are seeing bedding becoming one of the most popular ways to decorate during the Christmas period. Taking festive decor into all parts of the home, bedding sets bring that added excitement and anticipation in the run-up to the big day and can be used year after year. We love the idea of making up your Christmas bed from the 1st December, coordinating with the start of our advent calendars! We have a range of designs to suit every taste, from subtle patterns to all-out festive sets.” Anna HabitatCrossHead of Buying – Home Christmas Bedding Habitat Festive Snowflakes Bed Set - Double £22 Habitat Festive Shapes Bed Set - Double £26 10 FESTIVE FOLK 11

A reminder that there can be a calm, sophisticated side to Christmas, Winter Solstice channels a laid back, welcoming aesthetic. Rustic wood, textural linen and reeded glass pair with rich velvets and gold accents for a classically comfortable look that exudes understated luxury. Heritage gingham and botanical prints run throughout the collection, emulating a chic country manor. A rich palette of emerald, charcoal and navy unites the collection, contributing to a warm, cocooning mood that encourages moments of quiet reflection.

Habitat £8 Habitat 90ml £10 is a vital component for setting the mood during the festive period. Scents of pine, cinnamon, clove and peppermint signal the arrival of Christmas and for extra effect, can be curated for specific moments. Spiced notes are ideal for welcoming guests, best placed in entrances and living rooms, while woody tones like cedar evoke a sense of relaxation and unwinding during the busy season, perfect for an evening settled in on the sofa. This year our best-selling Christmas Spice and Frosted Cedar fragrances are joined by Fireside, a smoky, wood-toned scent which brings to mind cosy evenings by the fire.”

“Often the centrepoint of a living room, the fireplace is an ideal spot for seasonal decor. Drape foliage along the edge of your mantel to create depth, then layer with tea lights or string lights for an enchanting warm glow. For more traditional interior schemes opt for baubles in a classic red, green and gold scheme, while for a modern take, embrace rich pops of colour - I love the contrasting jewel tones of fuchsia and teal.” Abi HeadWilsonofBuying – Celebrations Mantelscaping Habitat White Light Up House - Set of 2 £25 Habitat Faux Eucalyptus Wreath £25 Habitat Large Metallic Tree Objet £25 HOME ChristmasMerryBunting £15 28 29CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS: CLASSIC
