HOW I CHRISTMAS...

 

Best Christmas shortcut I create a new Christmas tablescape each year by mixing and matching items from my own collection, including table linens from The Designed Table, plateware from Bordallo Pinheiro and glassware from Waterford Crystal.

Favourite decorating hack: My favourite decorating hack is getting creative with my fireplace mantels and sideboards from Ashbrook Antiques. I love to layer real and faux foliage, velvet ribbons, coloured long stem candles from Sostrene Grene and twinkling fairy lights.

Go-to shop for something special I love Dwell by Eilish Rickard Interiors for decor gifts for the interior lovers in my life. Their brass salt and pepper mills, candles and handmade vases make the best gifts.
