Get festive interior Pinspiration courtesy of these beautiful and joyful rooms.
We’re inching ever closer to the moment when we can finally deck the halls with Christmassy joy and unleash extreme merriment upon our households. If you’re looking for festive interior inspiration, Pinterest is groaning with ideas – from cosy farmhouse vibes to Scandi styles – a few of our favourites of which we’ve rounded up here.
Amanda Brooks’ house is a cosy Christmas lover’s fantasy. We adore the soft candlelight and the stuffed bookshelves flanking the fireplace. We’d happily settle down in this room for days mainlining mince pies and Christmas ghost stories.
No guest to this house on Christmas Day could fail to be cheered by the fact that every surface is festooned and festive. A delightful exercise in maximalism.
The Victorians created Christmas as we know it. Dennis Severs’ extraordinary house-come-still life drama in Spitalfields may be more of an ode to the Georgians than the Victorians, but he was no pedant. When it came to Christmas, it was Victoriana all the way.
Minimalists need not be excluded from the festive fun. This simple and beautiful room demonstrates how it’s done to exquisite perfection.
Create atmosphere with an onus on natural and foraged-for materials, Scandi style.
This pretty tableau is irresistibly inviting. The fire, the pile of presents and the understated bunting: each element of this room is beckoning us in. The stuff of Christmas dreams.
This artsy beauty does Christmas in the most delightfully informal of styles. Homemade and all the more heavenly for it.
