How to make your home festive and cosy this Christmas

I was a bit early on the gift guides, but now it’s the beginning of December, it’s well and truly time for some Christmas inspiration! Now, some of your may be thinking ‘no, not yet, I’m not ready!’… but I’ve teamed up with British homeware brand Loaf to create a Pinterest board packed with cosy and festive ideas for the home. There are easy peasy DIY’s, from gold leaf encrusted pine cone garlands to fresh green wreaths, ideas for the table-top come Christmas day, as well as ways to make the house look and smell great for guests, and of course, yourselves. So put the kettle on, munch on a mince pie if you have one to hand, and get in the mood for Christmas…
