Ambient Lighting

With Christmas infamous for flashing fairy lights and kaleidoscopic colours, there comes a point in December when we need to swap the bold LED’s for a softer, calming glow. Think a collection of sweetly scented candles, gently flickering on top of a luxurious coffee table with your favourite book in one hand, and some fragrant mulled wine in the other.

Consider including a range of lanterns and add a little sparkle to your interior this season. Positioning a larger lantern with a collection of smaller ones can make for a lovely festive focal point in any room. Look to Eichholtz Ipanema Hurricane Lantern for some inspiration, with its sultry smoked glass and nickel frame, this lantern can add a little glamour to your home this season.

Create a gentle glow all the while still making a stylish statement with the stunning Summit Chandelier by Eichholtz. Elegant and enchanting, this chandelier will shine a light on true glamour this Christmas and illuminate your interior with ultimate sophistication.

The Importance of Colour

You may not have time to complete re decorate your entire home in time for Christmas but consider adopting a more muted colour scheme in an area of the home, somewhere you can retreat when it all gets a little too much.

Think chic neutrals in warm hues with textured materials, a rustic minimalist approach with a festive twist. Consider soft greys with dusty blush or warm beige and ivory for a relaxing Scandinavian style.

Tactile Textures

There’s nothing quite like snuggling up with a cosy throw and a scattering of feather-filled cushions, ready to watch your favourite Christmas movie in style.
