Spring is here – at least in my mind it is, let’s ignore the fact that it sleeted yesterday – so here’s a list of things to do ready for a fresh new season.

Wishlist | New Home Decor
//blanket, H&M home//LED gold lanterns, Ikea//magazine file, Ikea//striped cushion, H&M home//storage basket, H&M home//beige cushion, Next//wood organiser, Tesco home//mandarin & tangelo reed diffuser, The Body Shop//pomegranate & raspberry reed diffuser, The Body Shop//ampersand bookend, Etsy//shelving unit, Muji// Just in case you didn’t know I’m moving this weekend! And as a method of procrastination from actually packing up my clothes/room/life, I’ve picked out a little wish list of home decor bits for my new digs.
Most of this wish list is comprised of soft furnishings, to make my bedroom as cosy as possible and to take advantage of the fact I have a double bed now ^_^ H&M home is killing it when it comes to home decor at the moment, I could’ve added their entire spring Home collection if I’m honest.
I’m also looking for small organisational bits, a bookshelf (there isn’t one in the room at the moment, so my books are shelf-less until I get one!), and little home-y touches like lights. I may have to wean myself off candles but I am excited to try out The Body Shop’s reed diffusers.

Christmas Decor Inspiration
*all images sourced via Pinterest ‘It’s the most wonderful tiiimmmeee of the year!’
It’s December, we’re less than a month away from Christmas, and the festive spirit has hit me full on in the face! Now I’d like to think you guys are super organised and already have your decorations up, but just in case you’re after a few more ideas and/or are scrambling to find some bits and pieces to put up. When it comes to Christmas decor inspiration I’m filling my wish list with items from two ends of the festive spectrum.
//Grey dip scandi decorations, Paperchase//Lit fantasy table tree, Next//Glass baubles, John Lewis//Wooden Christmas tree, Harrods//White LED lights, John Lewis// On one hand is the super sleek, scandi-inspired minimal Christmas look, which is much more about clean lines than overloading your home with trinkets. Think delicate lights, barely there Winter trees, ornaments with natural wood finishes, and a colour palette of greys, whites, metallics and rose golds.
It’s a great theme to stick to if you’re looking for money saving options as it places focus on styling than the ornaments themselves.
//Roses & Herbs wreath, NotOnTheHighStreet.com//Decoupage baubles, Next//Star tree topper, John Lewis//Frankincense & myrrh candle, M&S//Father Christmas ornament, John Lewis//Christmas doormat Matalan//Christmas garland, Very.co.uk// As great as the minimal them is, there’s something about sticking with a truly traditional format that just reminds me of home. With this theme you’ll want to take a the opposite approach to the minimalist style and go for luxurious details in warm and cosy reds and golds. This theme would, of course, be nothing without beautiful evergreen wreaths and trees dripping with baubles, bows and winter berries.
Which theme will you be sticking with this year?
Have you sorted your decor for the Holiday season yet?
