Christmas is certainly a time for giving. Our family are huge present givers. We love the run-up to Christmas and all the shopping we do. This year we’re making our annual trip to the USA, this time Las Vegas for our Black Friday shopping. Where we’ll stock up on clothing, handbags, fragrance and other little bits and pieces. We’ll head home and shop online and in store for the bigger items.
You know the past few months I’ve been getting more and more excited about home interiors. I lose hours planning and pinning on Pinterest, my Christmas List for Santa is nearly 95% home decor items. So I guess you’ll want to know what’s on my wishlist from Bridgman’s, the Inspired Living store?
Before we get into the Christmas Wishlist of wish lists there’s something you’ve got to know about the Bridgman store. You’ll realise just why I love their brand ethos. With 5 showrooms under their belt, the Bridgman brand continues to innovate and shape the home & garden industry in the UK. This year marks four decades with the celebration of their 40th birthday. Did I hear the word party somewhere?
With a belief in design running deeper than aesthetics, Bridgman believes that a well-crafted piece of furniture allows you to transform your space to maximise the time you spend entertaining in your home.
And they say the rest is history…
In 1977, Peter Bridgman set up a workshop in North London manufacturing quality British furniture. Following in his father’s footsteps he built the reputation around 3 core values that live on within the brand today. Quality, design and comfort.
Fast forward 10 years and in ’87 the first luxury garden furniture collection was launched. With Bridgman’s in-house designers and advanced production techniques, it allowed the brand to fill the gap in the market and become the first UK company to decorate outdoor furniture with ornate detailing.
In 1990 (a great year, my birth year!) Bridgman focused their attention on becoming the UK’s leading supplier of luxury garden furniture. They showcased their designs at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. You’ll still see them attending to this day too.
Bridgman’s is still very much a family business and Peter, alongside co-director Howard who joined the business in 1980 oversee the running of the company alongside Peter’s two sons. Robert & Alex. With the third generation of love and care in the business, Bridgman’s really is run by the family, for your family.

Voyage Maison Arbour Stone Cushion (£35)
Voyage again, truthfully you didn’t think my love of this brand would only feature once? Scatter cushions are a great way to accessorise your home without changing the entire decor. This truly dynamic, velvet-dominated design of woodland tree branches is absolutely no exception to that too. The Voyage Maison’s Arbour Stone Cushion makes a bold statement no matter where you place it in your home. Personally, it would look amazing on my wing-backed chair in my dining room.
Of course, it is backed with chic Arielli Linen fabric which is effortlessly soft to the touch. This cushion is one truly luxurious piece. Perfect for those first-time homeowners who are utterly interior obsessed.

Thick of shimmering sequins, watch them dance as the light shines on them. With both silver and gold detailing this throw certainly modernises any room without compromising on luxe and sophistication.
Drape over a chair (one of my top tips in how to style a feature chair) or use it across the bottom of a bed, this throw certainly will look sensational wherever it is placed.
A great gift for a splurge, your spouse or your best friend. For those who are utterly fabulous and love a little sparkle in their lives. For you! Yes you, this throw is a great gift to treat yourself too.

This is about as subtle as it gets. Every item in your home should pull together to create a haven of relaxation with an element of luxe style. Especially if you love to throw parties and entertain. This is another top Christmas purchase high on my list. The distinctive sequin-embroidered design uses a deep, mesmerising shade of navy. A truly understated colour I personally find in interiors. The navy dominates this Voyage Maison’s Ulla Sapphire Cushion, which gives it an opulent and rich feel to the cushion.
Complimented perfectly by the neutrally-toned base colour which allows the super daring sapphire notes to twinkle through and shine. Backed with Como Charcoal fabric this cushion is one seriously luxurious interior accessory. This cushion would look absolutely stunning positioned strategically as a scatter cushion on a bed or a neutral sofa or chair. Team it with the Arbour Liquorice Cushion for a truly complimenting look.

Villeroy & Boch Grand Royal Red Wine Goblet (£39)
I adore different glassware and live love when your drink is served in a gorgeous glass. That’s why these Villeroy & Both Grand Royal Red Wine Goblets make it onto the wishlist.
They remind me of huge medical banquets, however, have that distinctly traditional, yet modern flair. The intricately engraved design when catching the light literally sparkles upon the dining table. If you’re not drinking from it, it is a great ornament too. I mean, mine would 100% be used for red wine, all of the time!
The long-stemmed, vintage-inspired goblet brings a whole new romanticised take on wine drinking. You will certainly wow your guests with a glass this luxurious. Create the ultimate in dining table elegance with the accompanying white wine, champagne flute and water glass too.

Voyage Maison Nerissa Indigo Cushion (£55)
The final cushion on the wishlist is totally different to the ones before. A signature Voyage style, this vibrant watercolour-style cushion has an array of bold blue flowers directly printed upon extravagant velvet. I have to admit that this Voyage Maison’s Nerissa Indigo Cushion is effortlessly dynamic.
I adore a bobbled fringe along the side of cushions. Funny story; when our little dog was a puppy we had bobble fringed cushions and we came home to find he had got into the living room and decided to razor them all off with his puppy teeth. He’s well trained now so the bobbles can make a comeback!
With deep blue bobbles on both sides, this cushion boasts a distinctly traditional design whilst incorporating contemporary flair. Stuffed with premium, soft feathers to assist in holding the shape of the cushion. It really is unparalleled in both comfort and luxury.
A great gift for those with a penchant for soft and elegant designs, those looking for a statement cushion in a room. For those who fantasise and dream about rolling fields.
