DECK THE HALLS THIS YEAR WITH CALMING AND NATURAL STYLE

Subdued greens and curvaceous, organic shapes create an understated natural Christmas style that is both relaxing and joyful

Deck the halls

For a modern interpretation of the traditionally bright and bold garland, wind strands of delicate foliage (olive branches look lovely) around handrails or curtain rods. A trail of thoughtfully wrapped gifts tied with sumptuous ribbons will also delight.

Paper trail

Cutting simple shapes from paper and threading them on to either fishing nylon or string and hanging somewhere unexpected, such as the kitchen, is an eco-friendly way to transform utilitarian spaces.

Simple pleasures

If you’re allergic to tinsel, take your festive decorations down a notch or two and go natural. Look around the garden and see what you’ve got to work with – not only is it an inexpensive way to decorate, Greta Thunberg would approve. For example, place sprigs of rosemary around the table at pre-Christmas gatherings.

Making easy garlands from repurposed paper is a great activity for kids, as is having them twist together strands of foliage you’ve gathered and finding imaginative places to suspend or thread them through. Don’t overdo it though, this pared-back Christmas decorating really is about less is more.

Style tip

A white colour palette punctuated with soft greens and natural wood is elevated with just a hint of gold from the cracker ribbons.

 

Natural romance

Hanging sprigs of mistletoe in doorways is a sweet touch, but it’s not easy to come by. Why not break with tradition and hang a branch from a bay tree or pōhutukawa?

Style tip

Keep your festive sprig tonal by tying it with a simple green ribbon (no bow needed) for effortless elegance.

Ben and the team did an amazing job selling our house. They know the market so well and gave us the best advice throughout the whole process. We have used them before and so glad we choose to use them again. Highly recommended.

Jason Pepping

Ben is a very personable agent. He has excellent communication and was usually available to answer any questions we had, regardless of the hour!

Jo Mcgeachin

Ben was extremely easy to talk to and very informative about how things would progress. He listened to us and advised us about the right way to go. We are very happy with his pleasant and professional manner.

Alex Hewton – Malins

This is the second time we have sold with Ben and both times the result has been outstanding. On a personal level we click and its clear he actually cares about both the sellers and the buyers he is working with. The result we achieved and the sheer quantity of offers received in a dead market shows what an outstanding salesman and marketer Ben (and is his team) is.

Jaan Turia

Ben worked exceptionally hard on our behalf to get the sale over the line. Ours was not straightforward by any means, and Ben navigated through the many twists and turns to ensure a very satisfactory outcome for us. We highly recommend Ben. 🙂
