Key trends festooning trees in London and Paris for Christmas 2015...
-Muted Metallics
A contemporary twist on traditional gold and silver, these warm shades of copper, brass and bronze are perfect for something different to freshen up you decorations. This trend is key at Vickerstown Interiors this year.
-Game of Thrones Scenario
A snowy wilderness dominated by a white and silver palette, natural pine and berried holly and ivy, maybe with the occasional bird scattered about.
-Classic Kitsch
Everything from portraits of the queen to the gingerbread men stocked at Crooklands Garden Centre!
-Techie trees
The Music Match system allows music to be streamed from a Bluetooth device causing the lights to 'dance' in sync with the music you are playing and can be picked up in Windermere at Hayes Garden Centre.
-The Nutcracker
This was the inspiration for the giant tree at Claridges Hotel in London this year. Think toy soldiers and pieces of sheet music cluttering the branches of a 10ft pine.
