Create a Cosy Atmosphere
Christmas should always feel cosy, with the innate need to snuggle up with a hot chocolate topped with cream (and marshmallows, of course). Achieving this ambiance is essential during the festive period. Rely on the glowing light of a wood-burning, gas, or multi-fuel stove to generate warmth, both physically and aesthetically. Alongside the elegant glow of a fire, illuminate your space with soft lighting, such as floor or table lamps, to avoid creating too much brightness.

Getting Guest Ready
It’s not only essential to get your home ready for your family at Christmas, but also for the endless guests and evenings of hosting that are bound to happen. Consider providing cosy blankets and cushions for extra comfort and set up a designated area for guests to hang their coats. Stock up on seasonal scented candles to infuse your home with delightful holiday fragrances. Small gestures like these contribute to a warm and inviting atmosphere, ensuring your guests feel right at home during this special time of year.
