A warm welcome! Ensure your loved ones are greeted in the jolliest of fashion.

A quick change! We made a simple switch to the homeowner’s decorative cushions for this warm, rich pair to carry her through the autumn/winter season. In deep cranberry and forest, the Stirling Check Cushion and Throw complement the Christmas decor beautifully while the Pheasant Embroidered Cushion makes a bold statement on its own.

A hammered gold tray with antique glasses and some seasonal stems serves as the centerpiece. The Stirling Throw acts as a table runner and brings colour and pattern to the look. We added bright green napkins, Christmas Crackers and the 12 Days of Christmas Mugs to create fun and festive place settings for all.
