With the nights drawing in and the days getting a little chillier you can't help but start to think about the upcoming celebrations.  Thoughts not only about gifting and feasting but also how we want to prepare our homes and make those subtle changes to our decor to create a new mood.  So what will be your Christmas Colours?  We don't always have to stick with the traditional Christmas palette and here at AA we are loving the rich tones of browns, burnt toffee and warm caramel hues that muster feelings of cosy evenings and cocooning vibes. 

We don't have to go all out on the decor to start getting us in the festive mood. Small decorative touches and extra lighting can change up the vibe in a subtle way while we start to think about making gift lists and browsing recipes. Extra candles, string lights and cute hanging ornaments added to mantles hint to that touch of magic.

Create a cosy ambience and celebrate moody winter vibes by adding in some intoxicating scents to ignite the senses. Layer them throughout your home to create a cosy aroma and transport you to pine forests or to evoke precious festive memories.  

Here at AA we love to inject a big dollop of greenery into our pads all year round, but Christmas is the perfect excuse to add in even more!! Adding branches to your mantle or in an oversized vase creates a wintery showstopper. Leave it in situ throughout the season, not just for Christmas to create a natural harmonious vibe. Abi hangs cute festive ornaments on her catkins and moss branches to add subtle festiveness throughout her pad.
