We all want to choose special, thoughtful Christmas gifts that will be enjoyed and appreciated. With that in mind, this holiday season, why not give something for the home? Consider the advantages: home accessories and accents, whether big or small, will bring pleasure to the recipient for years to come, they help create a pleasing environment for the entire family and they’re both practical and beautiful.
Here are a few suggestions to kick start your imagination:
Wall Art. The right wall hangings transform a room. Look for the latest trends like bright bold prints, wild animal/nature themes and gold/brass frames. Don’t forget that mirrors are also art! Consider a dynamic new shape or a grouping of several smaller mirrors.
Accessories. Give something trendy to spice up a room – like faux fur pillows, rustic wooden candle holders, industrial-inspired lamps or a throw featuring Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2016, a subtle pastel pairing of Rose Quartz and Serenity.
Small Furniture Pieces. Poufs, tiny accent tables, a small bench – gifts like these are affordable and yet add enormous charm to a room. They’re sure to be admired by the home décor aficionado on your list!
Feeling Extravagant? Go Big! There’s a furniture gift for everyone in the family:
For Your Husband: How about his very own wing back chair? He can use it in his study or even in the family room for watching TV. There are numerous options available, from timeless leather with a tufted back to more modern silhouettes.
For Your Daughter: Many young girls love getting prettied up! What about the gift of a gorgeous vanity and chair set that will make her feel like a princess? There are styles in white, soft grey or darker finishes, depending on her preferences. With a mirror, drawers and counter space, it can handle all the accessories she needs to look perfect for her busy day.
For Your Son: Every boy wants bunk beds – they’re so much fun – whether for sharing a room or just for sleepovers. There are many variations, with some including loads of storage space for clothes and toys. Another option for boy or girl is a stylish desk, making going back to school after the holidays just a little more bearable.
For the Family: The whole family will enjoy home entertainment seating. Styles with two or three seats are available, or two units can be grouped together if you have a big gang. They’re comfortable, attractive and durable, with all the perks and whistles, including reclining seats and cup holders.
For You! Start dropping hints for a cozy, round upholstered chair for your bedroom, study or hobby room. It’s ideal for a good read and will make any corner inviting. Here are some other ideas: a contemporary curio cabinet for your collectibles or a traditional chest to store your sentimental treasures.
