This month, we’re preparing for the Christmas season with festive colours and door decorations. Off the back of Home Beautiful’s 100th birthday celebrations, we’ve also fallen down a delightful rabbit hole of vintage lighting trends.

Festive greens
The Christmas season is almost upon us and this year, we’re embracing festive greens throughout our seasonal decor. Green works just as beautifully outdoors as it does in, making it the perfect shade for dressing the Christmas table and brightening our outdoor spaces for the summer ahead. If you want to mix it up this year, you might also consider reading about why pink is the unexpected but perfect colour to pair with green.

Vintage lighting
When Home Beautiful turned 100-years-old in October, we found ourselves exploring a century’s worth of vintage design trends. Lighting, thankfully, is one of those trends you can bring into your home without feeling like you’re living in a period drama. A vintage banker’s lamp is a cool addition to a modern desk or console table, while an antique-style pendant light will add just the right about of charm to a contemporary living space. If you want to dive deeper into 100-years of lighting trends, then you need to read: The vintage lighting trends we still can’t get enough of.
