While tartan is making a comeback, opt for a softer scheme of dusky pink and gentle mauve with slithers of sky blue or lime green for a more contemporary colour palette. Complement with natural materials and items, such as woven wicker baskets and pine cones. Note the miniature wreathes used as a gift wrap accessory above – this is a stylish seasonal trend for gifting and tabletop décor this year.

Woodland animals can be found scampering across many A/W collections, against a backdrop of creamy beige, soft browns, warm russet and copper, while the amber tones of autumn forests seems to be an inspiring theme for many 2018 Christmas collections. For tabletops, windowsills and trees, the key to creating a woodland scheme is plenty of layering, creating a cosy thicket of festive décor.

Tropical Punch We’re wishing everyone a happy “kitschmas” with novelty decorations in the shape of candy, palm trees, pineapples – 2018’s favourite motif – and other quirky designs. Matching the balmy weather, a brighter festive scheme is perfect for the UAE.

Decadent, desirable jewel tones are often a popular decorative palette for the entertaining season, and the deep, bottomless blue of the ocean leads this year’s most glamorous colour trend, complemented by elegant emerald tones and dark, autumnal purple – think the darkest depths of an amethyst – suggestive of rich plumage, precious jewels and lavish ball gowns. While matt finishes add a tactile contrast, use shiny velvets and silks to emphasise the luxurious nature of these colours. Ignore contemporary gift wrapping ideas in favour of classic silk ribbons and bows, while tinted glass, brass and glitter are a must for candle holders, tree décor and other festive ornaments.
