Seasonal

Put away in January, exactly as good in December. Cheap festive pieces come out of the box the following year with dulled berries and cracked leaves — these are made to survive being stored. Autumn sits here too, for the months before Christmas comes out: one shelf, two seasons, nothing that only earns its keep for six weeks a year.

BUYING & CARE

Working with seasonal pieces

Four things worth knowing before you buy.

How do you store them between seasons?

Loosely, not flattened. Wrap each arrangement in tissue rather than cramming it back into its original box — crushed stems and bent leaves are what actually ages a piece, not time in storage. A large, lidded box in a dry cupboard beats a tight-fitting one every time, and a loft is worse than either: heat cycling and damp do more damage than a year of dust.

Will the colours still look right next year?

Yes, if stored out of direct sun — colour loss happens from light exposure, not from age on a shelf in the dark. A piece kept in a cupboard for eleven months looks the same the following December as the first.

Can autumn pieces double up for Christmas?

Some do — anything in berry reds, deep burgundy or bronze tends to carry straight through. Brighter orange and yellow autumn tones read as out of place once the Christmas colours come out, so those are better swapped rather than stretched.

What comes out creased, and can it be fixed?

Fabric petals take a set if they have been compressed for months, and that crease is the thing that reads as fake fastest. Hold the bloom in steam from a kettle at a distance for a few seconds and reshape it by hand while it is warm. Do not press an iron to it, and keep steam away from anything glued or bound.

The range

Twice a year

Two short windows when a room is expected to look different. Both are packed away afterwards, which is the part that decides what to buy.

  • AutumnRust, ochre and faded burgundy, with seed heads and berries doing the work flowers do the rest of the year. Carries a house from September through to the end of November.
  • ChristmasPine, cones, berries and a lot of red and white. It goes up for a month and spends eleven in a box, so it has to come out of storage looking the way it went in.
