Introduction:
As the festive period approaches, many of us seek to update our homes to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for family and friends. One effective way to achieve this is by incorporating fabrics into our décor choices. In this blog, we will explore various fabric options that can bring a Christmassy feel to your home, going beyond the traditional red and gold colour themes.

1. Jewel Coloured Theme:
To create a dazzling and bright interior, consider using brightly coloured fabrics in jewel like shades. Think of these fabrics as baubles on a Christmas tree. Dress your sofa with a scattering of jewel-coloured velvets and wools to add a touch of opulence to your space.

2. Simple Scandi:
Embrace the Scandinavian design influences that are particularly relevant during the Christmas season. Create a cosy and comforting design scheme by using white and monochrome fabrics. Imagine retreating to a snow-tipped wooden cabin with sheepskin rugs and hot chocolate – this aesthetic captures the essence of hygge.

3. Foliage:
Incorporate the natural beauty of holly, ivy, and mistletoe into your Christmas décor. Foliage fabrics can be used for curtains, cushions, and table dressing, adding a touch of freshness and elegance to your home.

4. Naturals:
For those who value sustainability, using natural and cream fabrics during the Christmas period aligns with your values. Opt for plain naturals, relaxed stripes, or block printed linens to evoke a sense of festiveness while maintaining an eco-friendly approach.

5. Traditional Plaids:
Embrace the strong Christmas tradition of using traditional wool plaids. These timeless patterns can be incorporated into various elements of your home décor, creating a cosy and nostalgic ambiance.
