This historic manor house celebrates the best of old and new and its elegant interiors look beautiful decorated for the holidays

As one of the rising stars in our Next in Design initiative, Sophie Garland knew exactly what to do to make this 17th-century home merry and bright

LOVINGLY RENOVATED BY CLAIRE AND SIMON, THIS YORKSHIRE STONE VILLAGE HOME IS THE PICTURE-PERFECT SETTING TO HOST CELEBRATIONS

Sparkling with candlelight and full of colour and pattern, the old village vicarage offers a warm welcome to Judith and Jeremy Stocker’s guests at Christmas

Armfuls of festive foliage foraged from the Cornish countryside adorn this handsomely eccentric home, full of Gothic styling and heraldic details

With its beautifully conceived palette and curated feel, this home is always ready for entertaining. The owners’ festive decor is equally welcoming, with a few cheery colour updates and touches of green doing the talking
