Holly Jolly Mouse House
Who: Ellenor and Gary, and their two cats Mia and Kimba
What: A golden, woodland-inspired wonderland built on happy memories and family heirlooms
Where: Cumnock
Christmas is the highlight of the year in this house with plans for the decorating themes hatched months in advance. Every year, the family try to think out of the box. This year, the theme is ‘Mouseland’ with a miniature mouse ski slope in the hall featuring colourful mouse skiers as well as their ‘Night Before Christmas’ display with more festive mice.
North Star Steading
Who: Pamela, Gordon, their daughter Eve and three dogs, Honey, Heidi and Harvey
What: A wintry Nordic scheme inspired by the family’s travels to Lapland and Finland, built with decorations sourced throughout the decades
Where: Aberdeenshire
Christmas means a lot to this family. Homeowners Pamela and Gordon even named their daughter Eve after their love of Christmas. Every room blends traditional décor with modern flair; a delicate combination that takes Pamela weeks to perfect. In fact, she starts decorating in October…
Sugar Plum LoftÂ
Who: Emily
What: This contemporary interior is brought to life by candles, fairy lights and an array of colourful paper décor
Where: Near Burntisland
Homeowner Emily is a maximalist at heart. The art teacher’s flat may be small, but when it comes to Christmas the Sugar Plum Loft is big and bold, channelling a retro and quirky style. Emily adds a personal touch with homemade decorations that hark to the traditions of her childhood.
Townhouse of Treasures
Who: Miranda and her teenage children Violet and Zachary along with Dylan the dog
What: A tastefully maximalist mishmash of colour, pattern and shimmer
Where: Edinburgh’s New Town
Homeowner Miranda loves to entertain and strives to make her home a magical place for her children. For decades, the mother of two has built a collection of quirky and vintage pieces that compliment her interior style. Miranda has 20 boxes of decorations in her attic to choose from every year!
Pink Island Palace
Who: Kady and Stephen, their daughters Lyla and Florence, and Marilyn the dog
What: A creative ’80s disco theme characterised by giant nutcrackers, lots of lights, candy canes and sequinned reindeers
Where: Millport
Known across the island for their bright and bold design, Kady and Stephen’s new build home on Millport is a colourful kaleidoscope of Christmas fun. There are some sentimental decorations including advent calendars made out of the girls’ baby clothes and decorations given to them on their wedding day.
