Welcome
Ready or not, the Christmas countdown has begun! An occasion to share love, gifts and quality time with family and friends, everyone knows it isn’t all holiday cheer! Preparations can be busy and stressful, but do not fear; this year, we are here to help! From gift ideas to decoration inspiration, here at Kotara Home, we’ve got Christmas covered. There’s always that one in-law who’s painfully tricky to buy for, the one who ‘already has everything’, the child who wants the latest and greatest toy; this year there won’t be any awkward tensions when it comes to present opening time! With gift ideas wrapped up into one convenient guide, there’s something in here for everyone from our diverse range of stores. Your turn to host this year? Keep the silly season simple and impress your guests with our easy-peasy delicious recipes for a festive banquet. Flick to page 24 for treats to tickle your fancy! If you’re bored of the traditional decorations that reappear decade after decade, make your yule cool with this year’s prevailing interior trend: metallics! Warm bronzes and shiny coppers have solidly established themselves as the season’s most sought after style and showing no signs of slowing down, it looks like they’re here to stay. Use them subtly or embrace the razzle dazzle this Christmas with our inspiration on page 22. With ample free parking at the door, Kotara Home is the one-stop-shop destination for everything you need this Christmas. SIT BACK, RELAX, AND READ ON!
