don’t just include silver and gold; you can play
around with bronze and copper as well. Brass
has a modern luster to it. If you’re thinking
of adding a matt finish, try nickel to achieve
warmth and regality. You will find these warm
rich colours in every cracking fire place or
flickering candle light this Christmas.

Prints & Patterns
LEDs
If you want to achieve a truly ‘Christmassy’ feeling, LED
lighting is the way to go, but be warned, these are not for
the faint hearted as they are bright and hard to ignore.
LED lighting work well for both indoors and outdoors
and give your home an extra twinkle. They come in
different shapes and sizes and can even be customized
to your taste. Choose from ultra-violets to warm reds
and luscious greens depending on the effect you want to
create. Try bouncing string LED light off any of our glass
variations/ Glass Plaster feature walls; the sparkle will
amaze you!
All Natural
If you’re a lover of nature,
nature-based decorations are
your go-to. These could include
pine trees and cones, gathering
bare branches and arranging
them in a vase. Go for lighter
wooden tones combining them
with white decorations for a
simple clean look and feel.
Alternatively, pick darker tones
of wood and mix them with reds
and greens for a natural glow.
Green represents life, nature,
peaceandhopeforthefuture.The
colour is a reminder that the earth
may appear asleepbut reawakening
is just a raindrop away.
White and Frosted
Just because we don’t experience snow doesn’t mean we can’t
have fun with faux snow. Frosted decorations are perhaps the
most common and obvious decorations for Christmas, however,
these are classics that give your home an elegant finish. Use a
lot of clear glass decorations, frosted glass and acrylics. As the
holidays approach, we remember the importance of spending
time with family and appreciating loved ones. How about you
share thememory of creating your own snowfalkes using stencil
and any of our water based paints.
