For many years grey and white has been my Christmas colour scheme; from white honeycomb balls to grey baubles I’ve been slowly building up a stash of Christmas decor, introducing a bit of a deviation with a splash of copper in 2015.

I’m not sure anyone can afford to change all their decorations each year but I get all giddy at the thought of adding new bows and baubles to my already bulging collection. Every year I tell James I’m going to have a sort out, however every year an even larger box gets packed away in to the loft.


I know it called be called contrived but I do like a hint of a ‘scheme’ for each room, otherwise I imagine I would just buy up the whole of HomeSense. The current plan is to resurrect the grey and white theme from years gone by in the living room, then a gold and jewel theme for the new snug, finishing off with whatever copper trinkets are left in what I hope will be a just completed dining room.

No room is spared from a bit of a trim – as you can see in the header image my old bathroom spent much of it’s life looking like it’d been submerged in a blizzard.

Do you have a colour scheme or a decor theme? Rustic, scandi, traditional or perhaps all-out glam? What’s your favourite colour or style to deck your halls? Also if you’re after a few decorations then do check our Lisa’s recent post rounding up gorgeous trimmings for your home.
