Burrowcore Christmas: how to bring a cosy woodland feel into your home

The burrowcore trend is bringing a cosy, woodland-inspired feel to interiors, with natural textures, earthy colours and nature-inspired details taking centre stage. It’s a look that works particularly well at Christmas, with pinecones, berries, snowy foliage and warm lighting helping to create a festive home that feels welcoming and full of character.  

Here, Charles Bentley shares how to bring this nature-inspired look into Christmas decorating, using wreaths, garlands and woodland-inspired decorations to add texture and warmth throughout the home.  

Layer natural textures 

Pinecones, berries and snowy foliage are an easy way to bring a woodland feel into Christmas decorating. Charles Bentley’s Pinecone Wreath and White Berry Wreath offer two different takes on the look, while the Berry Garland and Pinecone Garland can be draped across a mantelpiece, staircase or console table to introduce natural-looking detail.  

Take the woodland look outside 

The burrowcore feel doesn’t have to stop at the front door. Charles Bentley’s Deer can create a festive focal point in a porch, garden or outdoor entertaining area, while the Mushroom Lights add a playful woodland touch to paths, patios and garden borders. Grouped together with greenery and natural textures, they can help create a festive entrance that feels connected to the surrounding garden. 

Keep the lighting warm 

Warm lighting helps bring the whole look together, particularly alongside snowy foliage and natural textures. Rather than relying on bright, statement lighting, softer illumination can help create the cosy feel that makes this trend work so well at Christmas. 

Combining these natural details with favourite decorations already owned is an easy way to embrace the woodland-inspired look without making the home feel overly themed.
