There's nothing quite like dressing your home for Christmas – creating a warm and inviting space that's primed for celebrating with friends and family. While the small touches are often what we reach for to bring the festive vibes, making sure you have the right furniture foundations is just as important. So we're welcoming the seasonal looks from Furniture Village with open arms, as they enable us to create the perfect base for our homes for the celebrations and far beyond.
When it comes to bringing the Christmas spirit indoors, you really do have a world of decorating opportunities to explore. Traditionally you may have only leant into the seasonal decor in the living room and perhaps the hallway, but these days there are no limits. Add festive design to your dining room beyond simply table setting for the big day, create a comforting kitchen that will please all the senses, and a cosy bedroom so you can start and end each day in seasonal style.
Choose your Christmas theme
Whether you're a traditionalist at heart and love a classic Christmas, want to lean into the simplicity of Scandi design or love creating a scene straight out of a cosy cottage, there's a festive look for you at Furniture Village this year.
The brand has created four core trends to choose from, so you can replicate the feel of a look or mix and match to find your perfectly unique style. And if you really don't know where to start with festive decoration, these trends are an easy way to nail it as you can select the style most similar to your existing furniture and use this as the basis for your decor.
The core Christmas trends
- First up is Farmhouse Christmas, a classic look inspired by the beauty of the natural world and its materials, embracing warmth and cosiness with warm woods, soft leathers and industrial elements.
- Next is Nordic Christmas which celebrates the stylish simplicity of contemporary design. There are graphic lines, lighter woods and slim profiles galore.
- The third theme is Winter Wonderland, a white and bright look that perfectly mixes modern style with traditional comfort.
- Finally we have Bright and Beautiful, where bold jewel tones meet mid-century shapes and sensibilities.
Our top picks
So whether you instantly know which trend would fit best in your home, or you're ready to get creative by selecting your favourites from across the board, here are 12 of our favourite pieces you can pick up from Furniture Village for both a new Christmas look and a refreshed home to welcome in the year ahead.
This extending table is the perfect hack for accommodating friends and family over the festive season without taking up extra space throughout the year, as it neatly extends from seating 6 to 8 in seconds.
Enjoy the comfort and luxury of a leather sofa that will just get better with age and use. The classic Chesterfield design never goes out of style, so will be an iconic part of your home for years to come.
Give your Christmas candles and fairy lights an extra boost with this industrial-style mirror. Lean against a wall for a louche and relaxed look, or hang for a more formal environment.
We love this as an option for your quality bed frame that will suit your space however your style may change, thanks to its chic simplicity. It’s crafted with comfort at front mind and is suitable for any type of mattress you desire.
You can never have enough surfaces at Christmas, whether it’s for playing board games, setting drinks or displaying cards. Nesting coffee tables will become your best friend, providing more space in seconds.
Update your interiors in moments with a new piece of artwork. This hand-painted piece will add unique and contemporary style while the brushed silver frame brings that extra sparkle of luxe you crave at Christmas.
The only problem with this chair is that you may argue about who gets to sit on it thanks to its curvy shape, smooth swivel base and super-soft but reliably durable fabric.
Get yourself a lamp that adds shine even when not switched on. The facets on the Lila’s clear crystal base refract light for that extra glimmer, and is an easy way to amp up the glam of your space.
An ottoman bed frame can be such a game changer for storage, providing you with a convenient way to stash your out of season clothes and bedding. The headboard of this option elevates this from simply a practical solution to a seriously luxurious one.
A showstopping pendant light will add a centrepiece to any space, and looks especially good over a dining area. This mid-century style will add some serious design credence to your space.
Give your floors some love with an elegant and oh-so-soft rug. The shallow pile of this modern design means it’s durable and easy to clean, so you can use it in a high-traffic room with peace of mind.
The burnt-orange of this piece is bang on trend, plus it’s an easy way to add a bit of colour to a space. Pair with a matching sofa or mix and match for some cool contrast in your living room.
