Keeping it simple

Keeping it simple

Date: 2016-11-25
Nothing says classic contemporary Christmas like gloriously plump cream roses, fragrant eucalyptus and fat church candles formed into a bold garland for the fireplace. To err on the side of lean and contemporary, you need to resist the temptation to overplay the floral decorations. The pair of cream posies in the foreground here, set in silver vases to complement the silverware on the side tables, is all you need to keep the look beautifully cool.

If you're a fan of minimalism, Christmas need not make you anxious.

Decorate with Christmas foliage like holly and mistletoe to bring a bit of Christmas life without overwhelming your modern scheme. Flashes of greens bring the outfoors inside and make a white room feel really fresh. The perfect place to snuggle up next to the fire on a dreary morning.
