Twixmas is the term used to describe the days in-between Christmas and New Year: that time where you feel a bit in ‘limbo.’ We’ve got some great ideas on how to entertain guests, revamp some rooms and create clever spaces to show off your gifts during this time.
You’re likely to still be entertaining guests during the festive season, so try some inspiration for table and dining set-ups.
Start with the base colour: choose one with impact like this dark grey. This adds a cosy yet elegant feel to the table. White candles contrast against the grey as well as creating height to the table setting. Natural plants like these Christmas tree branches (hello reusing materials!) are perfect for building texture to your table.
You don’t have to replace your whole fireplace, but by changing the design surrounding it can transform your whole space. Take inspiration from these dark walls and shelving units that frame this white traditional fireplace. Soft furnishings sit either side so you can cosy on down with a cuppa while the fire burns and warms the room around you. Fireplaces have always been the place to get together and socialise with friends and family, so make it an important place in your home.
Friends and family staying with you over the festive season might have got you thinking about how to transform the bedrooms in your home. Winter is all about feeling cosy and comfortable, what would be described in Danish as ‘Hygge’. Take influence from the word Hygge and use natural colourings, dim light, and soft furnishings to create the ultimate relaxation room for both you and your guests.
Instead of storing or hiding gifts away, proudly showcase them with an ingenious design like this one. These abstract shelving units are a great way for displaying gifts and homeware as well as making a statement in your room. This idea is perfect for a modern London house that wants to step away from traditional shelving and cupboards. Be proud to show off your Christmas gifts with stylish shelving that stands out!
