How To: Festive Party Season
With the festive season upon us, and because we know how busy you are, we’ve rounded up the trendiest festive party decorating ideas so you can choose your favourites. Are you ready to receive the New Year in style?
Evergreen Décor
Create an everlasting memory with your family and friends by having the biggest Christmas tree your space allows. The smell of fresh pine, with twinkling fairy lights instantly floods your home with festive enchantment. Choose Christmas decorations in a handful of colours, like red, gold or purple and add lit lanterns with tall candles. We love the ones by Culinary Concepts, place them at the base of your tree for the ultimate holiday charm.

Glass Act
Everyone is looking to drink seasonally. Of course, you could offer your guests a great martini, or a margarita but to create a drink designed for the colder months is on point.

Design Display
Now is the ideal time to invest in that statement piece of furniture you’ve been dreaming of the whole year. We recommend a drinks cabinet from our stunning collection like the Birds of Paradise Coctail Cabinet by Rue Monsieur Paris. Not only is it the perfect way to revamp your home, but also a useful addition to keeping your drinks, mixers and glassware organised.
Sideboard Sophistication
It’s no secret we love a beautifully made designer sideboard. Probably one of the most versatile pieces of furniture that can be accommodated almost anywhere in your home. You can use it to store your china, everyday essentials or books. And during the festive season a sideboard can be turned into a table to display hors d'oeuvres and your tableware.

Turn Off the Lights
Create the ideal ambience for your party not only with a soundtrack that mixes chill out vibes with classic dance songs but by choosing the perfect lighting design. If you have a fireplace, then a roaring fire is a must. Overhead lighting should remain off or very dim. Think about adding multiple sources to your lighting scheme, table and floor lamps illuminate conversation areas, while candles provide mood lighting throughout.
