May your days be merry and bright, and may all your Chirstmases be white

Whatever colour Christmas you’re dreaming of you can explore your own individual style to design a celebratory atmosphere for festive entertaining. Whether you choose the classic holly and ivy for a traditional Christmas; a simple decorative setting inspired by the past; a natural and seasonal look achieved by bringing together treasured objects and plants from the garden; vintage candy shop with decorative baubles or a vibrant colour clash, flickering candlelight enhances every setting and makes your home look warm.

Our selection of Christmas homes feature the bright, fun and eclectic with explosions of colour; contemporary homes pairing muted tones with combined lighting and sophisticated subtlety; a modern conversion with creative design ideas; an alternative vintage style with hand crafted decorations and re-cycled crafts to an old fashioned country home where family heirlooms have been handed down through the generations. Each home creates a relaxed environment to gather family and friends to share the Christmas spirit.
