As the year draws to a close and the days grow shorter, I always find myself reflecting on what’s happened over the past year and appreciating the familiar rituals that make this season so special.

Christmas for me is about all the little things that make a home feel warm and inviting. A simple wreath on the door, branches of greenery gathered from the garden and a few well-placed candles can create understated magic.

This year, I’ve especially loved curating my revised collection of fabrics and wallpapers that bring a quiet sense of luxury to the spaces we design. From soft, tactile fabrics to textured wallpapers, these materials create depth and character that feel effortlessly timeless. There’s something particularly special about the natural and raw beauty at this time of year and a subtle reminder that beauty often lies in the smallest of details.

As I look ahead to the New Year, I’m filled with gratitude for the wonderful clients and collaborators I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Thank you for allowing me and the team at Annie Allison Designs to be part of your journey.

Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a beautiful start to the year ahead, may your home be filled with warmth, joy, and inspiration.

With love,

Annie x
