How to have yourself a Merry Morris & Co. Christmas

Ahhh Christmas Day. Guests will gather. Drinks will be drunk. Mince pies scoffed. But what of the room? Do we not, all of us, imagine the triumphs of a perfect Christmas being played out in the cosiest living room, with the smell of the festive lunch (or dinner – we know this is a controversial topic!) wafting through?

Sometimes, all you need to give your space a dash of festive magic is a few small changes. And we mean ‘small’. So sit back, read on, and let our brilliant Stylist, Emma, lead the way to a Merry Morris & Co. Christmas.

THE CUSHIONS

It takes three cushions (yes, only three!) to really transform a room. Just as long as they’re filled with your favourite pattern and with colours that are rich and joyful. We’ve got some gorgeous velvet cushions at our Harrods store for those really looking to spruce up!

THE LOVINGLY CRAFTED CHRISTMAS

Christmas is a time for a wealth of traditions to resurface. We all know about hymns and carol singers, but now is a perfect time to get back into craft.

We’ve got a couple of craft how-to videos popping up on our Instagram feed throughout December for you to get stuck into with friends and family.

First up – stockings! Fabric cut-offs make for perfect stocking materials. Hang these above your fireplace for the perfect treat come Christmas morning!

We all have a favourite decoration, don’t we? Hanging from the tree, they’re charming features which add personality to any Christmas time. For those who want to get creative, we’re posting a lovely clip on how to make your very own!

FINISHING TOUCHES TO YOUR TREE

As well as the above tip, our Stylist Emma thinks wooden decorations are the way to go. Support local craftspeople by hunting down your next favourite Christmas decoration.

THE SCENT OF CHRISTMAS

Cinnamon apples, pine trees, Yule logs, freshly fallen snow – the festive period is a happy time for our sense of smell! Invite the smells of Christmas into your home by thinking about your most loved scents and finding a candle to match.
