Who knows what anyone really wants for Christmas? Buying for children is easy, but choosing gifts for the grown-ups can be a fraught experience. You can take the strain out of the process by choosing gifts that go on to give enjoyment throughout the year.
Online boutique Bodie and Fou offers a range of stylish home accessories that provide both festive decorating solutions and a host of ‘must have' gift ideas.
The best home accessories are those that match good design and functionality. Bodie and Fou have these in abundance. Its range features gorgeous linens, kitchen and home accessories, soft furnishings, tableware and a luxurious body care range.
Decorating the home for Christmas is all in the detail. Rather than going over the top with decorations, create the mood by having focal points for each of the rooms. As much of the main event at Christmas is spent around the dinner table, this is one place where you can achieve a touch of elegance and sophistication by the introduction of some beautiful accessories.
With Bodie and Fou it is easy to create the right mood, with affordable and pretty ceramic tea-light holders or a mix of French glass and vintage candlesticks. Then it is simply a case of just adding a shot of festive green with holly and ivy - and the dinner table is ready for its guests.
There is a decorating myth that says that you can't have an all-white scheme in a house with kids, but French-born Karine Kong, co-founder of Bodie and Fou and mother of two-year-old Mila explains how to make this work. From the pared-down Scandi look to the softness of French homes, she explains how you can easily achieve a stylish and inviting look in without breaking the bank.
She says: “White is to interior design what a little black dress is to fashion - simple, practical, chic yet relaxing.”White works equally well in a utilitarian space like the kitchen just as it does in the lounge but the rule is to keep things simple.. If you have a small L-shaped kitchen, diner area the best way to create a visually striking space is to hang three small pendant lights in a row like the Lilly-shaped Norm 06 pendant light or the luxurious cluster pendant light by Kathleen Hills.
Not to be outclassed by the Scandinavians, Bodie and Fou's range includes an affordable style line that includes a unique ‘Made in England' rolling pin that leaves said message on pastry. These designs are quirky yet practical and include beautiful items for the kitchen; they also come in a gift box for the perfect present.
