A Bloomsbury Christmas
Think dark, rich colours, luxury fabrics and lavish parties. One of this year’s top trends, according to Pulse London, has taken inspiration from the literary centre of London. Bloomsbury has long been associated with novelists and academics. It's the home of the British Museum, famous publishing houses and its notable locals over the years have included Charles Dickens, J M Barrie and Virginia Wolfe. If you want to bring a touch of luxury and Victoriana into your Christmas party, take a look at our top pick of Bloomsbury-inspired products.
Our collection of Brocade linen come in a range of rich, jewel-like colours, such as antique gold (top left) and deep purple (bottom left). Pairing deep coloured luxury linen with bone white china will help your tableware to stand out. If you want to give your event a Victorian Bloomsbury twist then opt for a Walnut Camelot chair (bottom right). Coloured glasses, coming in a number of rich colours such as purple red and green, will give your table a decadent festive look.
Harmony
Peace and harmony is, of course, one of the big messages of Christmas. This year's harmony trend brings together simple and clean looking materials with neutral tones. According to Christmas World, one of Europe's biggest Christmas trade fairs in Masse Frankfurt, the harmony trend is all about celebrating the beauty of reduction.
