What is it that makes a Christmas-time home feel warm and welcoming? Often, it’s the lighting; twinkly fairy lights, flickering candles and a crackling flames in the fireplace. This illuminated Christmas lounge tick all those boxes.

Emma’s Northern Ireland home is cosy and inviting; full of colour, fun and an ever-rotating collection of lovely, colourful wall art. Check out the rest of her beautiful home on Instagram.

Get their look: Pampas grass Christmas tree

I saw a pampas grass Christmas tree on Instagram and thought, “What a great idea!”. It could be a simple yet stunning DIY project for next year. It would take about a hundred or so ‘blades’ of pampas grass, cut into different lengths to create a fir tree shape. I can’t see what the ‘trunk’ is made of, perhaps a broomstick with holes drilled into it.

It’s a very eco-conscious option for a Christmas tree; grass is biodegradable, compostable, recyclable, reusable and renewable… all the REs! Decorate it with equally natural ‘baubles’ like foraged pine cones, holly, ivy or pheasant feathers.

Decorate the rest of the room similarly; with natural materials such as wicker, wood, wool and cotton and keep the colour palette neutral.

I’m obviously not the only one that thinks the pampas grass Christmas tree is going to become increasingly in vogue – scroll to the bottom of this post to see a recent article in the Metro newspaper.

Price Points: Real Christmas wreaths

What better way to welcome visitors to your home this festive season than with a real Christmas wreath hanging from your front door?

A real wreath has the lovely smell of fresh pine needles and other greenery. I love the idea of being sent all the components for making your own. It also means that you can reuse most of the materials for years to come – just go out foraging for holly, ivy, mistletoe, fir tree fronds and similar.

Don’t leave it to the last minute, though – many of the real Christmas wreaths that we looked at online were already sold out!
