Interior Inspiration
By local, interior lover Nicky Tyman

The Winter season is upon us and although people Candlelight and fairy lights - you just can’t have
seem to be “trimming up” earlier and earlier enough at Christmas to create that cosy glow. And
each year, I will be sticking to the 2nd weekend of there are wonderful soy candles being hand-poured
December at the very earliest. In preparation, I’ve right here in Brighouse!  Scentlaboratory.co.uk not
been reading up on what could be this year’s big only blend fabulous scents to fill your home but you
Christmas decor trend. Our favourite producer of can customise your candle so it complements your
emotional Christmas TV adverts claims it’s all about decor. The glass votives are either clear or black,
the rainbow tree this year! Using an abundance with silver, copper or gold lids. And the luxe ceramic
of different coloured baubles in bands, from top range has a quilted look in either copper or matte
to bottom. I can’t deny I love the simplicity of one black (my favourite).   
colour and use white, simply in a nod to snow-
dusted fir trees. But Christmas tree decor should
really be whatever makes you happy.

Whilst browsing the Christmas editions of the
various retail catalogues that come through the
door, I found a beautiful festive door wreath, but it
was £130. There’s not a chance I’ll be spending that
much but I might create my own. Many florists hold
wreath-making workshops at this time of year. It’s a
great way to learn a new skill, meet new people and
get in the mood for Christmas. Plus your door will
look pretty amazing too.

Recycling is something I always try to consider when
renovating our home and Christmas should be no
different. Remember that wrapping paper with foil
or glitter elements cannot be recycled. I still love the
look of good old brown paper and using foliage and
re-used ribbon or hessian to trim. It’s much cheaper
too.

Thank you to Nicky Tyman for
supplying our Interior Inspiration
feature. As a local lady (based in
Woodhouse, Brighouse) Nicky is
currently redecorating her home
beautifully and you can keep up
to date with this on Instagram for your own
