But what if you’re rethinking your Christmas aesthetic; fancy a shift in style and theme, and have your heart set on making a statement to create something meaning and memorable? “I really feel like now more than ever, it’s about personal expression and making every person that you’re gifting to – and that you’re bringing into your home – feel seen and making them feel special,” says Dayna Isom Johnson, trend expert for Etsy online marketplace. “And it’s about releasing the cookie cutter… look of it all in the past, and focusing more on that personal expression – and what really speaks to you.” With a focus on nostalgia, detailed table settings, colourful accessories, ballet influences and moody themes, here’s how to express your inner self this festive season…

It’s bringing the nostalgia of the Christmas season into your present day home,” enthuses Johnson.
