Less is always more. Avoid gaudy baubles this festive season and select some key pieces to celebrate in style…

Luxe Candles for Festive Warmth & Fragrance

Mince pies fresh from the oven, fragrant pine trees and bowls of flowers. Christmas is all about captivating scents! Candles are a beautiful addition to any setting and a gorgeous way to create a festive mise-en-scene. 

Decor + Design exhibitor Luxe House Melbourne make exquisite candles that also respect the environment. Their candles are blended and poured by hand in Melbourne using biodegradable coconut soy wax.

The gold Radiance collection is perfect to shed a magical light over December. We love the Mediterranean Fig fragrance. Rich fig and crushed sage combine with spicy cardamom and verdant greens, complemented with a touch of pomelo zest – the perfect candle for Christmas!

Australian Native Greenery 

Elevate your mantelpiece with festive Australian natives for a stylish, rustic look. Mixing earthy Australian textures with metallics accents can also be stunningly minimalist and cool.

Forage Designer Fabric

The most delicious Christmas displays often feature a mixture of organic and eccentric elements to create a beautiful
statement – which is why you should get creative with offcuts of charming designer fabric.

We love this mantel arrangement from American designer Mary Ellen Becker, using a mixture of fresh fruit, flowers, cedar and boxwood bough, tied together with a bow in Schumacher fabric left over from a project.

Give the Gift of Art

Art is the Christmas gift that keeps on giving – forever!

We adore the pieces stocked by Decor + Design exhibitor La Grolla.Established in 1982, La Grolla is a family owned company providing high quality framed art to the retail, commercial and home furnishings industries throughout Australia. As a market leader in the framing industry, La Grolla has a reputation for our excellent quality, attention to detail and personalised service. The piece pictured left is from their beautiful ‘Interlude’ collection.
