1. Choose soft and cosy fabrics: While it may be frigid outside, your home should always be a source of comfort. Adding plush fabrics throughout the house will ensure you’re never far from a warm embrace. Is there anything better than snuggling up on the couch with a good book or your favourite Christmas movie? Cashmere, suede, faux fur and velvet are some of our favourite textures during the winter months, and beyond!

Your furniture and accessories aren’t the only places where you can enjoy these decadent textures. With CRAFTED™ by Crown Luxurious Suede Textured Matt Emulsion you can create a soft, natural brushed effect on your walls. Our Suede Textured Emulsion is a simple way to add texture and dimension to your space.

2. Get glowing with candles: Is there anything more magical or reminiscent of the winter season than the soft glow of candlelight? Candles give off a soft, warm luminescence that will flatter your interiors and create a gorgeous ambiance that all will love. In addition to candles, twinkling string lights also look captivating within the home. Whether layered on the tree, strewn across the mantle, or hung elsewhere, the subtle illumination these lights give will lead to an utterly charming Christmastime atmosphere.

3. Use greenery to add natural vibrance to your home: Seasonal greenery brings the allure of a crisp wintertime forest into your space. From pine and spruce to eucalyptus and holly, there’s no shortage of fresh greenery to choose from. Use these branches in garlands, bouquets, wreaths, and centerpieces and place around the home for an instant upgrade. Combine greens with red berries for pops of ruch colour.

4. Make Merry with Metallics: We love interiors that glimmer all year round. Metallics are excellent options for adding some soft yet stunning shine to the home. We’ve already covered a variety of different ways that you can use metallics in the home, and you can read more about that here. CRAFTED™ by Crown Lustrous Metallic Emulsion offers a shimmering metallic finish to walls and woodwork, and we think this look is especially fabulous during the wintertime.

5. Set the scene with a carefully considered dining table look: Togetherness is what Christmas is all about, and spending time with those you love over a delicious meal is one of our favourite ways to celebrate the season. Because much of the holiday revolves around food, the dining table should be decorated in a way that highlights the season and offers an inviting aura to the room. People should be compelled to congregate and enjoy a nice and relaxing meal. There are endless table arrangements to try, and of course, we suggest you follow tip number two, and don’t forget the candles!
