THE festive feeling is alive and well in the kingdom with red and white lights adorning palm trees and buildings twinkling ever so brightly, fully capturing the spirit of the season.
Carrying on the happy holiday vibe can help brighten up homes with a winter-themed décor of warmth and hospitality.
The best way to install a dose of merriness to the living room is to add touches of natural elements including greenery, animal-inspired prints and figurines, shiny metallic accessories and winter whites.
Throw a fleecy white blanket over a couch to create a cosy living room feel and add furry rugs to keep your footsies toasty.
Plants in rustic or shimmery golden coloured pots can create an elegant glow in the room and white candle holders can make a welcoming impression too. Animal-printed pillows, snowflake ornaments and wooden coffee tables also add a natural ambience.
For those who love to host dinner parties, keep it simple and fresh with floral arranged centrepieces, bare garland, table wreaths and candles. Mason jars wrapped in twine are also a great touch.
Join in the kingdom’s National Day pride by adding velvety red hued cushions and throws as well as red candle holders.
Baskets full of books, pillows or even imported pine cones can add charm to any space. as well as antlers or festive printed signs and chalk boards with poems and personal messages for family and guests.
For those who like to hang up stockings to celebrate Christmas but lack a mantlepiece string them up on any wall using garland, a coat rack, a curtain rod or even a wooden ladder. Opt for a non-traditional festive season by using wellies instead of stockings, mugs or even fluffy house slippers.
Keeping in the unconventional holiday theme, skip using red to decorate and instead pick pastel colours. Remember, tis the season to gather with family and friends, so keep your dwelling cosy and loving from the heart.
