Silver is back and gold is never too far behind
British homes continue to appreciate the glory that silver and gold can offer this festive season. The muted silver tones are sure to bring the chilly, snowy outside in but be warned not to make it too icy and bring in some warmth with gold tones here and there. Here is what we have to offer when it comes to silver and gold.
Moody blues, plum purples and berry tones
Tempted to mix and match? Another festive colour trend seems to be pairing deep and dark moody tones with gold and silver for that sophisticated and classy feel. This really is shaping up to be a fantastic season. Here is our pick when it comes to a berry colour pallet.
Sustainable, earthy and nature-themed colours

We're seeing an increase in demand for artisanal decorations, gifts and tableware sourced from sustainable materials; offering an overall more sophisticated feel with softer, more natural tones.” Here are our favourite sustainable packaging options:
