The cosy heritage look is trending this Christmas – an interior stylist reveals the 5 tricks to making it look fresh and timeless

Blue living room with oval mirror over a fireplace, Christmas tree and red and stripe armchair.

The heritage Christmas look might be trending this year with the 'Ralph Lauren' Christmas trend and Morris & Co. pattern comeback. But it's one of those looks that, if you get it right, it will never go out of fashion.

A heritage Christmas is light on the glitter and heavy on the rich reds with a healthy dose of natural greenery thrown in. It is all about creating a snug, cocooning space. No glitz and glamour is needed for this look, just a real pine tree dressed in simple, hand-painted baubles. Throw in a couple of arts and Crafts-inspired linens, some cosy faux fur throws and a bough of pine tied up with ribbon, and you have the makings of a dreamy storybook Christmas.
