Every year we rush towards November and December in disbelief as Christmas quite literally tiptoe's around the corner! As jam packed as this season is - it secretly still is my favourite moment of the year....the calm before the wonderfully festive storm. It's when we get to dream a little, plan a lot, and start creating those magical spaces that make the whole season feel special.
And this year, I'm extra excited because the brand-new Chyka Home Christmas range for Harris Scarfe has arrived! We're talking baubles, ribbons, table décor, tree ornaments - every single thing you could possibly need to style your home beautifully for the holidays… all in one place. I'm calling it your one-stop Chyka Christmas shop, and yes, it's all affordable, stylish, and designed to make decorating simple and joyful, with a little bit of whimsy thrown in there just for fun (I'm looking at you collection of red flocked bows!)
Keep It Simple: Classic Theme, Big Impact
If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I'm a big believer in the power of a two-colour Christmas palette. It keeps everything looking cohesive, calm and elevated—whether you lean into classic red and white, chic gold and cream, or the rich evergreen tones I'm absolutely loving this year. With the Chyka Home collection, you'll find all the trimmings you need to stick to your chosen palette and carry it through every room.
This collection is all about timeless shapes and colours, a classic Christmas with a modern twist. You'll find traditional trees in fresh sparkly finishes, reimagined garlands that can be used year after year, and textures that bring softness and warmth to every corner. Think glass-look baubles, ribbed ornaments, luxe ribbons, and pieces that instantly elevate your tree without any extra effort. It's creative styling… done the easy, affordable way.
Style the Unexpected
One of my favourite things to do each year is decorate those often-forgotten spaces. A simple ribbon tie on a bedroom door, a cluster of baubles in a hallway vase, a festive moment on a coffee table, it's these tiny touches make the whole home feel festive and special. The beauty of this new range is that you can do it all with basic Christmas staples used cleverly and creatively. Whether you're dreaming of a snowy white Christmas, a classic red moment, or a gold-infused glam wonderland, commitment is your best friend. When you carry the same colours, textures, and motifs from the tree to the table, to the mantel and beyond, everything instantly feels considered… without needing to overthink a thing.
This Christmas, let's make our homes feel warm, welcoming, and wonderfully festive. With Chyka Home at Harris Scarfe, you can truly create something magical with minimal effort and maximum impact. Trust me: future-you will thank you. Get your decorations sorted now, explore the new Chyka Home collection and ease into December feeling organised, inspired, and ready to entertain. No frantic last-minute shopping, no mismatched décor panic - just beautiful, cohesive style from day one. Which from the collection is your favourite?
