Editor-in-chief Elle Lovelock shares how she likes to host and entertain, for the festive season and beyond

FROM ELLE

HEAVEN SCENT

Whenever I clean the house, my four-year-old son asks ‘Who’s coming over?’ It makes me think, do I really only deep clean when we are expecting guests? That’s a worry. But we do entertain quite often, so the house is generally tidy. I was asked recently for my top tips to elevate an interior, and one of them is a fancy, aromatic multi-surface spray. I love the Tasmanian Pepper and Lavender range from Bondi Wash and the Diptyque La Droguerie multi-surface cleaner — sprayed on benchtops, they scent a room quicker than a candle while making things sparkling clean. Bonus tip: use them to wipe down your front door inside and out for a beautifully fragranced welcome.

Deck the DOORS

The front door is our favourite place to make a festive first impression, and it doesn't have to involve a traditional wreath. From fragrant foliage and whimsical florals to ribbons, bells and pine cones, there are countless ways to deck your doorway in seasonal style. It might even be the perfect time to adorn your door with a fresh coat of paint. Here, we've matched Wattyl's most beautiful hues with decorative touches to ring in the holidays in style – and keep the cheer shining long after the season ends.
