Speaking of maximalism, there’s really no shying away from tradition at Christmas, so if red and green is your thing, you may as well go for it! Jiin Kim-Inoue, Design Director at Finchatton, favors this approach ‘I’m a maximalist when it comes to Christmas, and I love the classics like red and green with lots of bling,’ she says.

‘While Christmas can be a time of abundance, we want to ensure we are keeping sustainability front of mind – while still making homes look beautiful.’ ‘Our paper pieces are crafted using Katran, a 100% biodegradable material, handmade by upcycling fabric waste from the cotton industry,’ she says. Of course, preserving the natural world is high on everyone's agenda, and Lyndsey advises decorating with eco principles in mind this Christmas - this maximalist season doesn't mean you have to forgo your attempts towards sustainable living. ‘Natural colors are a big trend this winter, and speak to the wider shift towards all things organic.’ This has been seen all year with the return of beige living room ideas. ‘The camel, tan and beige hues that make up the majority of our decorations collection are a softer take on the gold tones traditionally associated with Christmas,’ says Lyndsey Goodger, Founder of Rose & Grey.

Sitting beautifully against festive foliage - be it a tree, table centerpiece, or staircase garland - these hues will really accentuate the beauty of nature. GO ALL NATURALįor something a little softer, you can’t beat a palette of natural tones.
