Christmas Décor Inspirations

LET THEM KNOW IT’S

CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN

Parts of the world with colder climates see a beautiful change in tones as the autumn sets in and then it turns to winter. The trees transition from burnt orange to golden shades which then fall away to give space to the fluffy snow. Cosyness becomes the key word in December and even the Costa del Sol will light up chimneys in preparation for the festivities. Christmas time calls for an excessive amount of decoration, so how can you make sure your interior remains sophisticated and stylish while immersed in this colourful tradition marked by red nosed reindeers?

Christmas is the time to put it all on display, our best dinner set, golden placemats, fairy lights, elegant accessories and plush fabrics to indulge and comfort the family as they sit by the fireplace sharing stories. Deep, warm hues of gold contrasted with black and silver will give an elegant and neutral base that you can build on with the colours you have chosen as your accent for the season. This can easily be interchanged annually and you can even plan on refreshing your furnishings around it. Don’t be afraid to move away from the green-red overkill as the pine tree, candle wax or the stockings will bring these colours in anyway, naturally.

The spacious living room above is designed with comfort in mind, providing the perfect setting for a family Christmas get together. Its neutral beige tones assert calmness and the furniture pieces sit in perfect balance for both aesthetics and functionality. This contemporary and luxurious ambience is put together with items from various Covet House brands that work in conjunction with the red accent decorations for that classic Christmas pop. Essential Home have provided the Fitzgerald modular sofa with brass details that combines perfectly with the Essex armchairs from Brabbu. Caffe Latte added the Aroma console and the Emperor Marble Robusta centre table, and it’s all topped by the beautifully simple Coltrane suspension. ›

Inserting some Christmas magic into kids bedrooms is the easiest of all, playing with pastels and gold, plush fabrics and stuffed toys.

Christmas is a magical time, full of wonders and light and from the design point of view it is also an exquisite delight: the richness of smells, tastes, colours and tactile impact that this holiday brings to the senses. It’s all packed into this modern space with a classical feel, a cozy dining room with its earthy tones that radiates pure elegance. Delicate velvet chairs from Boca do Lobo are set over the soothing texture of the Metamorphosis rug by Rug’Society. Resembling the star on top of the tree, the Dorsey suspension by Delightfull floods the room with Christmas spirit, providing the perfect setting for a romantic candle-lit dinner. ›

For those who have a lavish taste, this modern classic living room is a great choice. Here, all you need to bring to the table is happiness, an open heart, and someone to share the uplifting moments with. Velvety textures add depth and warmth, balancing the austere colour palette so the green, colourfully decorated Christmas tree looks vivid and everlasting. Boca do Lobo’s Imperfectio Sofa shines with its golden laterals offsetting the luxurious scene. ›

Gold is often used in small doses but in festive times you can go overboard with it. The simply ornamented Christmas tree above beautifully complements other golden touches in the space, such as the intricate legs of Luxxu’s Apotheosis dining table and the Hera suspension lights, both adding to the room’s timeless elegance. To complete the Christmas sensation, a deep moss green is introduced by the candle dinner set, sitting in harmony with the Stola dining chairs’ velvet wrap and modern lines. ›
