"Christmas at Nkuku is always such a cosy, inviting space" says Jen.

Here are a few of Jen's favourite finds for a cosy Scandi-style home from Nkuku this Christmas…
For the Scandi Christmas living room
"The Christmas living room at Nkuku is all about layering – from textures to colours, materials to light," says Jen. "There's a wonderful sense of nature portrayed through the rich palette, but also the way fresh and dried foliage can be worked into a Christmas styling moment effortlessly. Look out for the Oko giant bauble, which is hand-blown from recycled glass. Try hanging a cluster from your mantelpiece, or arranging as part of your table centrepiece."

"Entertaining at Nkuku this Christmas sees natural textures, warm brass accents, and flickering candlelight combine for an inviting, yet elegant table," says Jen. "The new Juniper Drop tableware is a must for any Scandi fan, being ideal to dress up or down, depending on the occassion, while statement aged-brass wine buckets and cake stands are perfect for keeping the look relaxed, while supplying all you need for those hygge-filled moments."

"For those cosy nights, Nkuku has bed-layering sorted," says Jen. "The lovely rich nature-inspired colour palette really comes into its own when used to dress a bed. Super-soft velvets and natural linens combine, keeing that balance of Scandi elegance with Scandi rustic that we all love."
