Stylish Christmas Inspiration

I just LOVE this festive time of year! I was too excited to wait until December 1st to put up our Christmas decorations- they were already up mid-November!!
There is something special about decorating for Christmas and I wanted to share with you a few of my favourite and easy DIY decorations you can create with your family.

Clockwise- from top left.

1. Add an element of greenery to your festive wrapping. You could use rosemary, ferns or eucalyptus cuttings.

2. This branch installation would look fabulous over a dining table or buffet as a feature. I found these paper hanging stars from Ikea. You can find them here. You can hang the stars at different lengths with twine or ribbon. add a few power operated fair lights to illuminate!

3. How cut are these mini Christmas trees?! They are from Kiki-Ki and are perfect for creating a little festive scene under a cloche.

4. You can use beautiful little tree decorations as napkin holders and double up as a little gift for your guests. If you are a great baker (that I am not!) you could make gingerbread trees and pierce a hole and thread some bakers twine.

I would love to see what DIY decorations you have come up with, so please tag me on Instagram at @melissa_lunardon !!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Featured in the Media!

What an amazing week it has been around here! Not only did I meet with lovely new clients that I cannot wait to work with, but also my Cheltenham project has been featured on Interiors Addict!
It has been such an exciting time to see my work appreciated by many others to enjoy.

You can read more of the blog here..

I was invited by United Interiors to style their showroom and art gallery which was lots of fun!
It was great to preview their new collections, which is all about muted colours and lots of texture.
As you may not have already noticed, I'm a big fan of colour, so I couldn't help myself by adding a huge "wow" piece of art in one of the lounge areas I styled!!

I was also asked to share a few tips on coffee table styling, which is real easy to follow.

Palm Springs Styling

Palm Springs is a place I need to visit. I am drawn by the mid-century architecture, beautiful landscapes and stunning interiors of residential homes and hotels.

The “Palm Springs” style is a combination of modern minimalism and old Hollywood glamour. I have noticed this look is making its way back and I am so excited because I feel it is a style that can suit most. The ultra-modernist, lover of mid-century and the bold colourful type!

I want to share with you a collection of images that best captures the style and how you can create the look yourself.
