There’s something exciting about dusting off the Christmas decorations each year. The way a few simple stringed lights twinkle in the darkness, refracting off glittery baubles, is absolutely magical. And nothing beats the thrill of setting the table with your finest dinnerware. Here at Home Beautiful, we absolutely love Christmas so it should come as no surprise that our favourite tastemakers do, too. They were gracious enough to invite us (and you) into their homes, to share their approaches to festive decor. On the following pages, you’ll find six very different looks, from traditional colours to swathes of blue and even handmade ornaments. As vast as the styles are, they all have one thing in common: that deeply personal touch. After all, that’s what the holidays are all about. It’s a time to embrace the unique quirks of your family and simply celebrate being together, in style.

A Christmas tradition in your “The beginning of the Christmas season starts with us going to the Christmas tree farm and choosing and felling our own tree. Our girls love it, it’s always such a fun day out. We then take the tree home and decorate it as a family.”
