THE CHOICE - DOOR WREATH
One of my all-time favourite festive (and not festive) home decoration is the door wreath.
I favour it totally natural, predominantly green, with modest coloured - but still natural - insertions, and very circular and lush.
London offers many occasions to see gorgeous door wreaths this time of the year. If you live here, you don't need to buy them at the Botanique Workshop or at That Flower Shop. You can find very nice wreath at Borrough Market, Whole Food, Liberty, and at every small florist down the road.
But most of all, here’s a link on how to make one: it’s easy and cheap DIY XMAS WREATH.

CITY GUIDE - AMMAN, JORDAN
Amazing trip to the magic Jordan... the city of Amman gives you plenty of occasions to buy very high quality handicrafts such as painted pottery, candlesticks and handmade textiles.
In my opinion the best places to buy quirky home decor are the Jordan River Foundation (Rainbow Street) for handmade baskets, rugs and traditional Bedouin weaving products, and Wild Jordan, (Othman Ben Affan St. - also very close to Rainbow Street) an eco-tourism spot that sells hand made jewellery, beautifully decorated ostrich eggs and organic goods like olive-oil soap. Special mention for Dare to Dream, also off Rainbow Street.

INTERIOR INSPIRATION - DECORATED PEBBLES
Black ink patterns on white matte background. Who knows me since I was a compulsory doodler teenage can tell that this was my true obsession. Still is.
And the below is pure ASMR for me. Simple and yet so stylish. You can try too.

CITY GUIDE - LISBON
Shopping in Lisbon is a great experience. Portugal was one of the European nations hardest hit by the economic crisis, but the economy has now grown for 13 successive quarters. And it shows. (No alternative to austerity eh?)
Just walk around the narrow streets of the old city quarters and you'll come across dozens of sumptuously ornamented shops that sell some of the most carefully packaged goods you've ever seen. At reasonable prices. If you are going for vacation, you'll return with a suitcase stuffed with treasures.

THE CHOICE: RUGS
Carpets are the universal way to warm floors and rooms and to decorate homes since the dawn of times... but an original Persian rug is simply something else: it adds an incomparable touch of elegance to any space and it's a timeless classic.
A fine antique carpet gives the owner the same pleasure than possessing a precious piece of art.
