Every year we wrap up the last 12 months by coming together with family and friends to celebrate one of the UK’s biggest holidays – Christmas! After what has been such a challenging year it would come as no surprise that even though we don’t know what the festive period will look like, many will take the opportunity to thank people and show them how much they mean to us by exchanging gifts, as well as investing on occasions when we can come together, including the main event – hosting Christmas dinner!
Here at John Lewis & Partners Business we are supporting our customers during this festive period starting with helping companies source the perfect gifts to say thank you to customers or offer a way to acknowledge the contribution of their team in 2020. Beyond that our property customers in particular value our Christmas shop and the festive decorations available to dress spaces from offices, hotels to show homes. So whilst we continue to support Home Stagers with procurement of our home collections don’t forget how Christmas can add value to your Home Staging Projects.
‘This year’s themes have been inspired by the colour and ideas within art and the belief that art is for all,’ says Jason Billings-Cray, Partner & Junior Buyer, Christmas Shop. Our seven themes include Bloomsbury, Art of Japan, Renaissance, Impressionism, Art Nouveau, Post Impressionism and Pop Art. So whether you adore the peacock motif often seen in Art Nouveau or are a fan of the iconic balloon dog sculptures of Pop Art – we have these and everything in between!
We all know that for homebuyers the numbers need to add up, but first impressions of a property purchase are often an emotive one and there is nothing more emotive that Christmas! So consider setting the scene, from the holly wreath on the door and the mistletoe motif doormat, to the first glimpse of the garland that pulls your eye up the staircase. Whether you are staging a city apartment or an eight-bed country home there is always the perfect place for the Christmas tree ( or two!), accompanied by a fully dressed table that awaits its guests or for a different feel try a drinks trolley full of festive fizz – either way, this is a property that viewers won’t be forgetting!
