The Christmas season is here and this year is proving to be a colourful one. The trends are leaning heavily toward the colourful Christmases we celebrated as children of the nineties, which means we’re seeing a rainbow of decor and tableware. While bringing it more into the modern day, I’ve collected some bits and pieces that will make it easy to add a bit of a rainbow to your holiday homeware.
These Anthropologie (UK/US) ceramic houses are extremely popular and come in a variety of colours. My favourite is the red post office, but there are many other cute colour combinations and building designs too. You can put little fairy lights inside to make a glow in the windows too.
“May your days be merry and bright” – this cushion from The Range (UK) sings in embroidered rainbow block print in both traditional Christmas colours and non-traditional too.
The Nutcracker is a classic at Christmas and these fun dessert plates from Rifle Paper Co (US) would be perfect for serving up mince pies or Christmas cake. If you’re having a party, the Nutcracker collection also includes paper plates and napkins with the same design so you don’t have to worry about washing up!
These rainbow Christmas lights look just like the ones we had in our house when I was a child and they give such a joyous atmosphere. You can put them in the tree, through a garland or hung around a door frame indoors.
It might not be as bright as some of the other options but this colourful patchwork advent calendar from Oliver Bonas (UK) is something you’ll be able to bring out year after year to fill with chocolates and other treats.
Welcome your family and friends to your door with a little “Ho. Ho. Ho.” on your doormat. The multicolour checkerboard effect is a lot of fun and will let everyone know that yours is the place to be for a celebration.
These soy wax candles from Aroma Meliss (UK) come in 15 different colours with a nutcracker design on the front. Alongside the range of colours there’s a huge range of scents too, including gingerbread, winter spice and cosy fireplace.
Bows are everywhere at the moment and feature in all manner of decor and homeware. These handmade Italian crepe paper bows by Bertie Valentine at Holly & Co (UK) come in a variety of colours and can even be bought as a full rainbow set. They can be attached to many things and don’t need to only be reserved for the Christmas season.
