Festive ‘doorscaping’

Gone are the days where a Christmas wreath was the beginning and end of door décor!

Doorscaping is a fun and creative way to dress up your front door and give visitors a joyful welcome. It seems to be increasing with popularity each year, as well as starting earlier in the season.

First impressions are everything when you've got guests on your doorstep, especially if you are selling your home. Bring some festive cheer to the exterior of your house with fresh foliage wreaths, potted light-up trees, and a festive doormat.

The #doorsofinstagram hashtag is full of door inspiration and top styling tips for instant kerb appeal.

Regency-inspired Christmas

Inspired by Netflix's Bridgerton, the Regency Christmas trend delivers 19th century style with lashings of colour, luxurious fabrics, decorative gold accessories, and ornate patterns.

The Regency Christmas decorating trend mixes deep green trees and garlands and sumptuous red velvet bows and ribbons with lots of warm metallics and intricate designs to bring those ornate Regency vibes into our homes.

Layering is key to this trend—think plush cushions, oversized knitted throws, and chunky woven rugs. Mixing different textures will create a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for snuggling up during those chilly winter nights.

Need some inspiration? That’s the perfect excuse to re-watch Bridgerton and admire the lavish homes of The Ton this autumn!

Handmade décor

As we look toward Christmas 2024, the trends are shifting towards a more thoughtful, handcrafted feel. Handmade touches like knitted stockings, embroidered tree skirts, and woven wreaths, create a sense of warmth and comfort.

Instead of purchasing from large retailers, try to shop local with small businesses in Kent. Many creative businesses and coffee shops offer art and craft workshops to mingle with like-minded creatives and make delightful decorations!

DIY lovers can rejoice – this trend is all about adding personal touches to your home. Consider incorporating heirloom pieces or even creating a craft night to make your own holiday decorations, giving your home a unique, story-rich feel.

There’s nothing nicer than admiring (and showing off) your very own handmade masterpiece!

Kitschmas

Patterns and decorations so fun they'll bring a smile to any Scrooge’s face – say hello to 'Kitschmas'. We're all for being unapologetically fun and bringing a lighter look to the Christmas celebrations.

From swapping the star on top of your tree to a disco-ball or changing up your cushions to ones emblazoned with novelty slogans, more is definitely more. If you're a traditionalist, tap into kitsch by investing in a choice decoration or two to instantly turn your tree into a talking point.

Novelty lighting is a brilliant way to bring a sense of festive fun into any room. Does anything say Kitschmas more than a neon light-up Christmas slogan? We think not.
