When Designbx asked me to write a guest blog, I thought: finally, someone recognises my aesthetic flair! Most of you would associate me with the delivery industry but let me tell you, when it comes to Christmas interior decorating, I\u2019m a natural. It\u2019s Mrs Claus who maintains the sleigh and works with the reindeer. There are no gender stereotypes in this house!<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, I have to say I think it\u2019s absolutely crazy when homeowners don\u2019t give their interiors a bit of design love. We all work hard, and at the end of the day, you need a relaxing, inspiring, and functional getaway. Can you imagine the stress I\u2019m under at this time of year? There are 1.9 billion children in the world, and I\u2019ve not only got to make a list of who\u2019s naughty and nice, but I have to check it twice! Thankfully I\u2019ve expanded my factory of little helpers. And before you accuse me of running a sweatshop, let\u2019s make it clear that they\u2019re all on minimum wage and working no more than 14 hours a day. I\u2019m kidding!<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, here are my special Santa decorating tips for Christmas. After four hundred years of silly seasons, I\u2019ve learnt a thing of two\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Kick my feet up<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

For a jolly man like me, there\u2019s nothing quite like the feeling of kicking the boots off and putting my feet up at the end of the night on an all-important comfy couch.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Workshop Wonderland \u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Mrs Claus helps me with my organisational skills and gave me some great space-saving storage alternatives for our workshop. Try these organisational ideas to create more space in your craft workshop or office!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Eggnog Station<\/span> <\/b><\/h2>\n

Sneaking down people\u2019s chimneys and directing the reindeer all night makes me pine for a drink when I get home. I ensure I have an impressive bar setup filled with the finest eggnog, mulled wine and spirits to share with my best elves and Mrs Claus after a long day\u2019s work.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Mrs Claus\u2019 Corner<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Mrs Claus spends long nights reading and knitting away whilst Santa is out to work. I ensure she\u2019s in absolute comfort with a living room setting suited to all her needs. Bookshelves, a creative side table and a great armchair keeps her satisfied with everything at her fingertips. Mrs Claus has revamped our humble abode to match with latest trends, using neutral and metallic tones, greenery and minimalist decorations to keep it Christmassy all year round. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. Light the night<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Working long, late hours and arriving home in the dark of the night calls for a well-lit exterior to guide my way home. Try these outdoor lighting solutions that add the all-important Christmas charm. Incorporating different types of lanterns adds a charming and warm vibe to your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. <\/strong>Claus\u2019 cooking<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Mrs Claus needs a space to bake all her delicious treats and cook a hot meal to make sure I don\u2019t fill up on milk and cookies on the job! Being here in Lapland, there are so many beautiful Scandi-style kitchens she has visited so she needed one of her own! Last Christmas I put my elves to work to give her this beauty:<\/span><\/p>\n
