How to make your home Christmassy\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Tis the season for dressing up our homes. We asked a few of our Alternative friends for their festive interior tips and how they plan to spread some holiday cheer indoors.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe are never too precious at Christmas. This year we let the kids decorate in their style so there is Tinsel up the stairs, paperchains, baubles on the ceiling and handmade decorations in the tree.<\/p>\n\n

Christmas is a time for exuberance and maximalism. We all go a bit OTT in our house, and everyone enjoys the extra sparkle and colour. The kids just love it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Kemi\u2019s themed tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

\u201cI find the most fun way to dress a home for Christmas is to have an inspiring theme. This really helps when you get overwhelmed in shops or even in your cupboards by all the different baubles and decorations you have collected over the years. This year we have an African Narnia theme. In previous years it has been Eco-Christmas, Tiffany Blue, Black and Gold and Tropical.<\/p>\n\n

For me Christmas is about the Christmas angel decorations, and I am always on the hunt for Christmas angels that represent me and my daughters with afro hair and brown skin. Adding them to our tree always add a beautiful energy and a memory of what Christmas is really about.<\/p>\n\n

Our chunky wool carpets<\/strong><\/a> make the best Christmas hug for homes and are a treat for bare feet. Margo Selby\u2019s Quirky Fair Isle<\/a> is like your snuggliest wool jumper but on your floors and Quirky Tartan<\/a> captures the spirit of the season. Tartan\u2019s association with Christmas comes from the Scottish folk who wore their plaids at the Yuletide festivities during the cold winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n
