Are you a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas? Or is an Aussie bush Christmas your idea of heaven? Whatever your festive vibe, one thing’s for sure: it’s not just about the tree. We’ve got the rundown on the hottest decorating trends for Christmas ’18 and how you can get the look you love from your one-stop Christmas shop.
Eucalypt
If you’re celebrating with a summer vibe, an Aussie bush Christmas is the way to go. The beautiful green and silvery tones of the Eucalypt range embrace Australia’s native flora and fauna. Spruce up your home with rich, rustic textures such as hessian bows, pine-cone inspired centrepieces and pops of red reminiscent of Sturt’s Desert Pea.
Trim your tree (or Christmas bush) with adorable genuine wool lamb decorations, plus kangaroo, platypus and koala shaped timber decorations to join the international zoo of reindeer, chickens and ducks populating your tree.
If you’re entertaining outdoors or on the veranda there are beautiful lanterns and wall hangings that are perfect for the festive season but will probably become a permanent fixture to enjoy all year round. With beautiful raw linen napkins, textural woven placemats and solid, handcrafted Australian hardwood boards for serving and carving, this range is one of Myer’s most popular and has struck a chord for its home-grown, sophisticated Australian style.
Heirloom
If you prefer classic Christmas colours and motifs, you’ll love the Heirloom range at Myer, with its gorgeous combinations of rich red, emerald green and glittering gold embellishments.
First things first. Find your perfect tree at Myer, where there’s a choice to suit every home, regardless of size. You’ll find all the lights you could possibly want, plus intricate decorations for your tree from the star to the skirt, and a huge choice of embroidered or bejewelled stockings for all your little (and not so little) surprises.
From welcoming wreaths for your door, to grazing reindeer figurines and cheeky elves to hide around the house, you can celebrate your existing Christmas traditions and start brand new ones as you build your collection that will become a family heirloom in its own right.
Create a table that’s fit for a feast with the Heirloom collection’s range of elegant tablecloths, runners, napkins and placemats in luxe fabrics with gold accents, velvet touches and all the sparkle you expect from a traditional Christmas theme. Match with gold-trimmed flatware and stemware for a classically opulent look.
Luxe
For the ‘less colour is more’ decorator, the Luxe collection has all the white moves. Like its name, it’s a luxurious look that’s rich in sparkle and based on a fresh, white palette. Create your winter wonderland with touches of frost on glass baubles, white feathered peacocks atop the tree, twinkling white lights, artificial flowers and acrylic icicles. We recommend adding cosy touches with faux fur throws and decorative accents such as chic white fur Santa sacks.
Create an elegant table with gleaming silver, crisp white linen, sparkling special occasion china, graceful stemware and the soft glow of candles in glass or silver candelabras. Place a snowflake-adorned Christmas cracker at every place to complete the whimsical, romantic scene.
Myer has a gorgeous range of figurines reminiscent of the Russian Ballet with a Nutcracker theme, and you can work in pieces from the Poinsettia range to add a pop of colour to your Luxe theme with soft dusty pinks, or a golden champagne hue.
Merry & Bright
If Christmas is non-stop fun at your place, your theme should reflect that! Step away from the traditional or minimalist themes and go all out fun by introducing pink, orange, yellow and purple. Perfect for families with children, this theme brings a playfulness to Christmas decorating. Tree decorations with cute Santa and elf motifs, pom-poms and penguins will hang perfectly alongside those treasures so lovingly made by little hands at school and hung with pride on the tree.
Underneath, great big Santa sacks will be at the ready to receive all the goodies that Santa can fit down the chimney (or through the back door), on a bold, bright skirt that’s a bullseye for presents.
Add to your home this Christmas from Myer’s adorable range of snow-domes and plush, bandy-legged reindeer figurines. Mini gumball machines to dispense sweet little treats also make up the range that’s guaranteed to delight kids of every age.
Fun hand-painted Christmas crockery featuring dancing gingerbread folk and Christmas motif-shaped serving dishes will become favourite pieces that form part of annual traditions your family will never grow out of.
Whatever your signature style, or however you mix it up, Myer is the ultimate destination for all things Christmas. So save yourself the running around town by visiting the store to see Santa, find the perfect gifts at the Giftorium and experience the joy of Christmas all in one place.
