THE TREND EDIT While the Angela Reed range takes
inspiration from the past and Christmases gone by, John Lewis looks to the art world with its seven key looks for Christmas 2020. The Art Nouveau range embraces rich colours, metallic accents and luxe materials (tiny gin decanter baubles, peacock feathers and striking animal print accessories), while the Post-Impressionism range offers up a bright, tropical palette, exotic birds and bold mosaics. We love the oversized leopard figurines and hummingbird tree decorations. Other themes include the Instagram- friendly Pop Art collection, with neon stars, tinsel garlands and retro baubles; and Bloomsbury – taking its inspiration from the Bloomsbury Group of writers and artists, which has a more traditional, illustrative feel.

White candles and a centrepiece composed of birch and evergreen branches will complete the look.” Finally, says Celine, pastels are big news for this year’s Christmas: think blush tones, pinks, warm neutrals and metallics of the rose gold and gold variety. Get the look with blush tablecloths, mint green chinaware, golden candle holders and ethereal angel ornaments. Calming, yet luxurious.
