As I wind down on the approach to the Christmas break (hurrah!) I couldn't help but feel inspired by these simple and colourful ideas for adding last minute festive decor touches from Mr. Jason Grant. I love how festive a scrap of ribbon placed in a clear, glass jar can feel (not to mention how quick it is to do!) and hanging baubles from ribbons is something I did in this Christmas shoot last year but I think they also look great when hung from a chandelier. My favourite idea is the pared back, brown paper crackers placed upon a striking red rimmed plate. Simple pieces accessorised sparingly with colourful brights makes for wonderful Christmas decor. Which idea is inspiring you, friends? Do you have any top tips for last minute holiday decor?

Pretty pictures and good ideas. The bauble with green drawing-pins was both beatutiful and creative :-)
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is the last day before Christmas Eve (our big day in Sweden) and I'm not spending Christmas Eve at home and decided not to have a tree this year, but I will go to the market tomorrow and buy some pine branches and put some decorations in them, finally. And some more hycianths, because their smell is really Christmas to mee.
Merry Christmas!!!
I love the red and grey colours combination in a few of these pictures. It's really striking. I may try that out next year! I also love those crackers, if only i had the time to make my own!

Who would've thought that cones of string could be so festive. I like to fill clear vases and bowls with ball ornaments for quick and easy holiday decor.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely Mr J G. Thanks for sharing Will. xx
ReplyDeleteThe ribbon in the jar is inspired!!! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI love the crackers too & the ribbon jar is gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAfter making ginger bread houses we inevitably have huge amounts of leftover candy. I put them all in a huge jar and it's just so festive on our mantle.
How fabulous and creative Will! Loving those ribbon trees :) Have a wonderful Christmas break :)

Repurposing leftovers always seems a great idea and the felix paper crackers are super sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love using fairy lights, draping them around the house as a last moment decoration; they actually transform any place into a sparkling wonderland!
Wish you a merry Christmas Will =)

I like the tradition colour scheme with reds and greens here. As you know, I am rather traditional this year too with the dominant colour red and wooden highlights. It's getting really festive now!!
ReplyDeleteI love the bauble made with all the coloured drawing pins! fab idea... Hope you have a good Christmas Will!x
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I have loads of ribbon leftover, so this is very timely.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab Christmas!
Happy Holidays!

So many unique ideas and gorgeous inspirations! The pop of reds and greens against the gray are so delightful. My most favorite idea? The green ornament made with thumb tacks! It's so pretty, love the texture, too. It's always a joy visiting your blog, Will!
