Put your feet up

#NoHouseRules

It’s hard to believe that the festive season is almost upon us, which means log fires, delicious food and, most importantly, quality time spent hunkering down with loved ones. With the fun but (let’s face it) rather exhausting party scene somewhat on hold this year, why not put all your energy into making your home as welcoming as it can be?

Our latest issue is full of inspiring ideas to help you do just that. We’ve got homeware and decorations to brighten any space, four different takes on the ubiquitous home bar, dazzling tablescapes to transport you to other worlds, tasteful gifts for even the trickiest family members, and elegant furniture to make your space inviting and comforting – which has really never been so important.

Whatever you end up doing this year, everyone here at OKA wishes you good health and happiness.

Sue Jones Co-Founder and Creative Director of OKA 3

SE A SON’S GR EET I NGS Is there anything more inviting than a handsome wreath adorning a front door? Use our faux f ir wreath as a starting point for your own festive creation.

MAKE IT EV E RGR E E N The beauty of artificial wreaths is that they provide a verdant blank slate, year after year. Easily customisable, they are perfect for tying your wintry colour scheme together. Simply weave seasonal f lowers and berries through the foliage, making sure to trim the ends or bend them in, once you’re happy with the arrangement.

DECK THE HALLS, TA B L E S , WA L L S …

Why stop at the front door? Now you’ve mastered the technique, there’s no end to the creative ways you can use wreaths to decorate your home. Hang them above a fireplace, arrange a few in the middle of your dining table as a centrepiece, pop one on that old nail you’ve been meaning to find artwork for, or suspend them from the ceiling, like a chandelier.
