YOUR LUXURY
CHRISTMAS GUIDE_
AT HOME WITH A.LONDON November 2020
After what has been a turbulent year for most, we are sure everyone is looking forward to celebrating the festive season more than ever. Our team at A.LONDON want to make sure you have the Christmas you deserve, so we have provided you with our exclusive interior tips to creating the ultimate luxury Christmas in your home.
“Now more than ever we need to be supporting our local businesses.”
CHRISTMAS COLOURS
When decking the halls, it is crucial to choose a colour scheme to complement your existing decor. Using a combination of complementing colours allows the space to seamlessly come together as one without the Christmas decorations becoming too overpowering. For elegant neutral hues, seen in our luxury interior show home, Landmark Place, we would recommend pairing with a shower of gold and silver. Bring natural shades of greens through homemade wreaths, not only do they act as a statement feature on the wall; it is also a great way to get creative with the family.
SEASONAL SCENTS
Candles are an excellent way to create an aroma within your home whatever the season it may be. But there is nothing like the cosy flicker of a festive candle. Whether it’s the warming smell of cinnamon or the fresh delight of pine trees, incorporating winter scents within your home sparks a sense of nostalgia when it comes to Christmas. We recommend Diptyque’s signature winter scents!
LOW LIGHTING
Enhance the atmospheric lighting from your candles further with low lighting through lamps. As seen in our luxury interior design project, Landmark Place, the Weller Table Lamp, available from Bazaar, acts as a decoration within the home not just at Christmas but all year round.
TABLE TOPS
At Christmas, the dining table decor should be as memorable as the menu. Whilst complementing your existing colour scheme, dress the table in an array of festive shades. For a minimal modern aesthetic, take inspiration from our styled dining table, seen in luxury show home, Television Centre. Create a runner of foliage to act as a centrepiece on the table, whilst pairing with simple dinnerware.
LOVE LOCAL
Now more than ever we need to be supporting our local businesses. Investing in presents for our loved ones from local independent stores is an excellent opportunity to support local businesses at Christmas. Try our favourite bookstore in Marylebone, Daunt Books, they have an array of books from Classics to Interior. Or walk to your local flower market to purchase that all-important Christmas Tree. And not forgetting about sourcing food locally too. Borough Market remains open throughout lockdown, where you can shop some of the freshest produce in London, including seasonal fruit and veg and those tasty Christmas turkeys.
