Festive décor ideas for designers and décor enthusiasts  

 

It‘s almost the festive season and no matter what your colour palette or décor style is, it‘s time to add some fresh design touches to your home. Whether you opt for the traditional colours of red, green and gold, the modern coral and tumeric, or whether you prefer the earthy shades, here are 6 trendy ideas to give your home a modern, fresh décor feel.

 

The festive minimalist appeal

Less is more these days, but adding some festivities to your interior design can really bring that seasonal spirit after a long hard 2020. With The Novolam Collection we have a wide range of woodgrains, elements of earth –  this could be a fantastic way to bring in a warmer natural feel. Why not add to this by using a piece of driftwood for your centrepiece and some chic bright colour accents to create a focal point? What about using African indigenous flowers like strelitzias. Alternatively try a striking vase, whether empty or filled with an abundance of fresh flowers, a largish decorative vase makes for an appealing focal point in any living space.

 

Mix the old festive wreath with your trendy décor

Welcome your visitors with a Christmas wreath decoration to your front door. Go one step further and adorn your interior doors with mini wreaths too. You can even get creative and make your own – with leaves, twigs and flowers found in your garden or explore these interesting DIY projects with the kids.
