One of my highlights from this year’s 3 Days of Design in Accra was the Cantonment – the home of writer Emily Nathan, which the Cantonment studio had designed from scratch and which was accessible to the public during the festival. It has since remained visitable by appointment for those keen to see cantonment’s kitchens, furniture and object collection in a real-life setting, and now it’s throwing open its doors once again for a pop-up ‘Christmas Atelier’.

The brainchild the event will see the apartment transformed into a festive wonderland, complete with a shoppable selection of pieces that would make perfect gifts. From the look of the preview images shown here, it promises to be absolutely beautiful, with lots of inspiration for minimalist Christmas styling using neutral colours and natural materials.

The focal point of the Atelier is a Christmas tree adorned with a lone giant fabric bow. The overall effect is a simple yet stunning, and proof that you really don’t need much to create gorgeous festive decor. I particularly love the way the tails drape elegantly across the floor, almost leading the eye into the space towards the fir, and the way the beige linen fits in with the wider decor.
