Wish List: Some art and affordable buys for Christmas

The season beckons and Faith Ryan is warming up to art and affordable buys. 

These timeless cross-back chairs with a rustic table are just the sort of unfussy choice to last decades of celebrations. DFS Design Director, Helen Leigh-Jones, styled the dining room using the Clermont table and chair set in a dark stained acacia wood top, a choice of fabrics for the seats and a cream painted finish.

“To introduce a classic nod to Christmas in your dining room, work around your existing colour palette. The cream and walnut colourings of the Clermont complement seasonal reds and greens. Remember to keep it simple.” €1,305. DFS nationwide.
