Country styling is all about raw, rustic elements paired with classic forms and up-cycled pieces for a homely, tactile and relaxing feel.
Think raw wood, textured finishes, industrial metals, hessian fabrics, beautiful linens, tree motifs, vintage tableware and a mix of traditional Chrissy colours. It’s a classic festive look with a farmhouse spin.

Go bold or go home, we say! Dare to be different and enjoy a colour scheme that is full of fun and personality this Christmas. Colourful decorations in block colours, clashing patterns, neon brights, quirky accessories and pops of blingy metallic are set to be a big trend for 2017.
Christmas is the time of year when all decorating styles are acceptable and more is more, so why not have fun with it!

The Nordic Style has taken the world by storm over recent years and has become one of the biggest interiors trends around the globe. We will see Nordic style continue to have a strong influence on Christmas decorating in 2017, but a more pared back palette of soft neutrals with lots of blonde wood, heavy textures and pops of metallic will be the backbone of the look this year.
It’s a relaxed, calming look that embraces quality materials, Scandinavian shapes, muted tones, clean lines and tactile, natural elements.
Suggested keywords for your relevant images: Christmas, festive, decorations, decorating, decor, ornament, nordic, scandinavian, scandi, swedish, simple, minimal, minimalistic, minimalist, wooden, wood, timber, contemporary, woodland
