It's the time of year when our homes take center stage, as we invite friends and family to join the celebrations. Part of the fun is in transforming our homes for the season, recapturing the thrill and excitement we felt as children. Christmas Inspirations begins by exploring four decorative Christmas themes. Traditional Style focuses on the rich reds, greens, and plaids often associated with the festive season and gives them a contemporary twist. Nordic style celebrates the traditions of the Scandinavian Christmas, with its emphasis on natural materials, candlelight, and simple decorations. Contemporary Whites and Contemporary Brights demonstrates that a love of Christmas and a desire for chic modernity can go hand in hand to great effect. In addition to these themes, subsequent chapters focus on the elements that make up our holiday celebrations: gifts, cards, decorations, and, of course, the tree. There are ideas for charming and unusual Advent calendars, such as miniature trees hung with tiny numbered stockings; elegant table settings, and stylish decorations that you can make yourself-paper stars, old-fashioned clothes-peg fairies, and delicious gingerbread snowmen. Jo Tyler's magical photographs, coupled with Rose Hammick and Charlotte Packer's beautiful, achievable ideas, will inspire you not only to transform your home this Christmas but also to create a few traditions of your own. Filled with fresh and imaginative suggestions, Christmas Inspirations is the ideal book for anyone wishing to bring a more personal touch to their holiday celebrations. FROM MAGICAL TABLE SETTINGS, CHARMING GIFT IDEAS, AND ELEGANT DEOCRATIONS THROUGH TO STYLISH WAYS TO WRAP YOUR PRESENTS."
