Furniturebox Instagram Christmas Inspiration!
6th Dec 2021Posted by Alice Ewens on 6th Dec 2021
Looking for Instagram Christmas inspiration, or just want to see how our customers decorate their homes for Christmas? Look no further!
I'll let you in on a little secret - Christmas decorations are my absolute favourite bit of the whole Christmas season. Yes, seeing my family, and all the delicious food, the general magical cheer in the air, gift-giving etc. are all lovely... but the lights and the decorations make me feel like a giddy kid at Christmas staring in awe at Santa's grotto. So, when we decided it'd be nice to collect together all the gorgeous Instagram Christmas pics our customers tag us in and share them with you in one place, obviously, I was very up for the challenge.
And all our customers are so talented and stylish, I've had a lot to organise! We've broken our Instagram Christmas inspiration bonanza down into a few categories.
Instagram Christmas Inspiration #1 - Living Rooms
Whilst we sadly don't sell this console table anymore, we do sell others! And this coffee table is similar.
When I was a kid, back in the late 80s and 90s (showing my age, now!), we'd string these shiny metallic garland things and tinsel across EVERY ceiling in the house, and have to duck through doorways, haha! So, as much as the awful 80s Christmas decor is fun for nostalgia, I'm so glad Christmas decor trends have moved on a bit. Decoration trends are a lot more streamlined and cohesive these days, with colour schemes and elegant simple living rooms taking centre stage.
Instagram Christmas Inspiration #2 - Bedrooms
One of our console tables here. We sadly don't stock that one at the moment, but we do sell others!
Who says Christmas decorations only belong in the communal living areas? I always longed for a 2nd Christmas tree in my bedroom, and Mum always said no. Now I'm a grown-up, I totally get that it's a LOT of extra effort, haha! Doesn't stop me drooling over these gorgeously Christmassy bedrooms, though.

Instagram Christmas Inspiration #3 - Dining Areas
Where the magic happens, right?!
White, Grey and Silver Rooms
White and grey interiors are super popular and a design classic (we wrote a blog on it!). This is transferring into complimentary Christmas decor, in crisp snowy silvers and whites, with the odd pop of gold for warmth.
The Cosmo table with chairs that look just like our Belgravias.
Our Milan faux leather dining chairs in elephant grey. We sell lots of gorgeous glass dining tables.
The Giovani black glass and white high gloss structural table with 6 Lorenzos in white and black.
Other Colour Schemes
Even though white, grey and silver are still very popular, we've also got some customers mixing things up a bit with colour that might just be right up your street.
Tablescapes
What is a tablescape, anyway? It's a bit more than just a single centrepiece and tends to include a collection of themed and matching bits and bobs to make the table look pretty. It's a mix of the words table-setting and landscaping, so think of a tablescape like a little themed landscape! And they make for great Christmas table decorations
Our Milan faux leather dining chairs in elephant grey. We sell lots of gorgeous glass dining tables, too.
Simple Centrepieces
Just as pretty, but taking up a little bit less room on the table.
Another shot from @home_with_sasha, showing you can mix it up and swap out a bigger tablescape for a smaller centrepiece to suit your event.
And Just 'Cause We Love 'Em...
Our Novara with gold metal legs. These chairs are very similar to our Belgravia chairs, too.
Holy cow, this blew my mind!!
That's our Leonardo table with grey Corona chairs, and the Cambridge bench too.
That's A Wrap For Our Instagram Christmas Inspiration Round Up
