I’m absolutely buzzing to share that I’m styling not just one, but TWO rooms in the Ideal Christmas Home at this year’s Christmas Ideal Home Show, in collaboration with Good Homes Magazine. From 27th November to 1st December, I’ll be transforming the NYE Room and the Cloakroom in the Christmas Home into the ultimate festive spaces.
This styling collaboration was a joint project with interior stylist Gemma Gear – and my podcast host on How to Home Podcast – and we can’t wait for you to see the vibrant, eclectic spaces we’ve designed!
If you’ve ever dreamed of a New Year’s Eve party that’s bursting with colour, sparkle, and personality, then you’re going to love the NYE room How to Home podcast created at the Christmas Ideal Home Show. It’s all about fun, festive energy, and we’ve packed this space with a selection of our favourite party decorations to set the perfect mood for ringing in the New Year.
Our Styling Vision: A colourful & Eclectic Party room
We’ve been hitting the high street, exploring our favourite stores, and collaborating with some amazing brands to handpick everything from party decorations to homewares. The result? A vibrant, whimsical space full of statement pieces—think bright red bows, sparkly disco balls, and quirky tree ornaments. We wanted to create a room that not only serves as the perfect setting for an unforgettable NYE party but also provides inspiration that visitors can recreate in their own homes.
One of the things we’re most excited about is the room’s interactive elements. We wanted to make sure that everyone who visits can feel inspired, have fun, and take away fresh ideas to bring a little festive magic into their own spaces. Whether you’re looking for new ways to decorate your tree, set up a fabulous drinks station, or just add a bit of sparkle to your home this Christmas, we’ve got something for everyone.
SHop our room
We worked with some incredible sponsors, including Not On The High Street, Lust Home and Lights4Fun. Our vision for the room has always been about mixing bold colours with a playful party vibe. You’ll find festive touches from brands like Next, Marks & Spencer, Dunelm, Sofology, Matalan, and Ginger Ray, to name just a few.
We’ve curated a mix of eye-catching accessories, from homewares to lighting, to create an unforgettable party atmosphere. The room is designed to feel welcoming yet exciting, with details that make it feel both luxurious and fun—because after all, it’s all about celebrating!
Make the Christmas Ideal Home Show your Ultimate Christmas Destination
The Christmas Ideal Home Show is a must-visit event for anyone who loves festive design, home décor, and creative inspiration. From stunning room sets to exclusive shopping opportunities, it’s a celebration of all things Christmas. The room sets we’ve created are designed to offer visitors a fresh, exciting take on holiday décor, with lots of inspiration that can be easily adapted to any home.
We are thrilled to have had the creative freedom to design this space from scratch. The process took months of planning, designing, and sourcing, and now that the room is finally complete, we’re feeling all kinds of festive joy!
