Traditional baubles

If you want to capture some classic Christmassy cheer, vintage Christmas tree baubles and decorations are the perfect pick.

Classic colours

When it comes to Christmas decorations, there are a few festive shades that always spring to mind. Ruby red, emerald green and glamorous gold, ready to remind you of Christmases past with their vintage colours.

Silver shades

Metallics always add an extra dimension to any tree, so bring a sense of winter beauty to yours this Christmas with some stunning silver coloured baubles.

Seasonal stars

What could be more traditional than a star on a tree? There's no rule against doubling up on festive feeling at Christmas time, so add an extra vintage twist to your tree by including smaller star decorations alongside the main star on top.

Bird baubles

Forget a partridge in a pear tree, what about an owl or robin in your Christmas tree? Celebrate the holiday season by welcoming nature indoors with some oh-so traditional bird baubles on your tree this Christmas all made from natural materials, with a woven feel to complete the look.

Non-traditional baubles

Brand new shades

If you want to freshen up your colour scheme from the classic Christmas red, green and gold shades, then it's time to try our mixture of modern baubles instead. Give your home some marine inspiration.

Stripped-back style

Minimalism is all the rage with modern decorations, especially when it comes to Scandinavian-inspired metal and wood designs.

Glitz and glamour

Sometimes your Christmas tree just needs a little bedazzling, and decadently decorated baubles are just the way to do it.
