Christmas 2015 Our award-winning festive expert Louise travels far and wide to create our annual Christmas collection. Here’s what she says will be adorning the best trees and homes this year: “There is a strong trend for copper colours this year, so there are a lot of decorations with themes of copper, bronze and browns. There are also specific products getting in on the trends, such as copper lanterns. “Gold is always a very popular colour for Christmas decorations but this year it’s the soft champagne gold, rather than the European yellowy gold, that is appearing everywhere. “Silver is still a strong colour particularly when used in contemporary decorations. This year we will be seeing silver mixed with reds. White lights are still sought after, especially the warm whites for indoors as opposed to the icy tones. “Carrying on from last year, another popular colour theme for Christmas 2015 are decorations in peacock colours such as purples, turquoise and greens.”
The items featured on this page are from our 2015 range.
