Traditional
Colonial, Tudor, and Victorian homes offer elegant lines and ample room to decorate for Christmas.
Outdoor Displays
From front door wreaths, garlands, and outdoor-safe décor to Christmas trees in the foyer, impress guests with an instant dose of Christmas cheer.
Mantel Décor
A fireplace mantel is the heart of a classic Christmas. Layer garlands with lights, stockings, and candles to create a cosy and festive focal point.
Matching Baubles
Design a grand display with themed bauble sets that match your home's colour palette. This gives your Christmas décor a professionally styled look.
Farmhouse/Cottage
Feel truly at home for the festive season with rustic textures and classic Christmas decorations.
Nature-Inspired Décor
Woodland creatures and motifs give your rustic décor a whimsical twist, and a gold palette lends an elegant finish perfect for the season.
Classic Red and Green
Traditional plaid or red-checkered home accents paired with evergreen foliage create the perfect homey vibe you want for Christmas.
Rustic Accents
Enhance the warm and cosy vibe with classic Christmas décor in wood, rattan, and other homespun textures.
Condo/Apartment
Go big on Christmas cheer even in the smallest of spaces with intentional décor.
Slim Christmas Trees
No need to scrimp on Christmas style with slim or flatback trees designed for smaller spaces.
Tabletop Accents
Vignettes on coffee tables, consoles, or even shelves don't take up much room but help create a festive atmosphere. Use lighted décor for a cosy glow.
Wall Décor
Make use of vertical space by adorning your walls and shelving with wreaths, string lights, or swags.
Modern/Minimalist Home
Let classic evergreens and unique décor infuse your modern home with Christmas spirit.

Wood and Metal Accents
Infuse warmth into your minimalist home and complement its clean lines with metal lanterns and wooden décor.
Conversation Pieces
Try fresh, modern takes on classic décor, like a capiz wreath or ceramic Nativity scenes. Look for interesting shapes and textures for a unique twist.
Beach House
Celebrating the season somewhere warm and sunny? Bring Christmas magic with a touch of nature's beauty into your home.
Frosted Trees
Frosted trees complement bright and airy coastal homes, especially when paired with a blue and silver colour palette.
