Issue 5: Christmas is Home: Creating Magic with Natural Textiles
At OURY HOME, we believe that the magic of Christmas begins at home. The way we prepare our spaces — using natural textiles, thoughtful details, and timeless accents — sets the stage for moments of togetherness and joy. This story is inspired by OURY founder, Valeria, who brings her vision of a warm, welcoming holiday home to life with the natural elegance of linen and a focus on meaningful, cozy details.
As I prepare for the Christmas season each year, I’m reminded of why I started my journey with natural textiles. There’s something undeniably magical about the way linen transforms a space — its texture, its warmth, its timeless elegance. For me, Christmas is not just a celebration; it’s an opportunity to create a home that feels cozy, inviting, and filled with love.
The Christmas tree is the heart of the holiday atmosphere, setting the tone for the entire home. Decorated with simple, natural touches like wooden stars, pinecones, and dried berries, it adds a warm, earthy charm.
The soft glow of string lights wraps the room in a cozy ambiance, reflecting off the tree’s ornaments and enhancing the inviting textures of the linen-covered table. Together, these details create a timeless, festive spirit, filling the home with warmth and joy.
I love to add a few more Christmas decorations around the house — garlands of greenery on the mantle, small wreaths on doors, and candles in every room. Soft string lights fill the space with a cozy glow, reflecting off the tree and the linen-covered table.
These simple touches come together to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that fills my home with the true spirit of Christmas.
Linen is at the heart of everything we at OURY create. Its timeless appeal and natural texture bring a sense of authenticity to any space. For Christmas, it’s especially meaningful — a way to ground the busyness of the season with a sense of calm and connection.
Every tablecloth, every napkin, and every throw I use feels like a reflection of the values that inspired me to create this brand: simplicity, quality, and the beauty of natural materials. They’re not just textiles; they’re part of the story you tell in your home.
A violet linen tablecloth is my starting point, draped across the dining table like a canvas waiting to tell a story. It’s bold and sophisticated, yet comforting — the kind of foundation that invites family and friends to linger a little longer.
I’ve paired it with brown linen napkins, their soft, natural tones grounding the vibrancy of the tablecloth. For me, this combination represents the balance of elegance and simplicity that I believe defines the perfect Christmas setting.
When I design a table, I think of it as creating a moment. Deep red accents — pomegranates, winter apples, and sprigs of greenery — bring the vibrancy of the season to life. These natural elements remind me of the beauty in simplicity, and how small details can create a big impact.
Adding cinnamon sticks and dried orange slices brings a cozy, festive touch to the home. Their natural beauty and warm scents create a welcoming atmosphere, making the holiday season feel even more special. The subtle scents blend with the aroma of candles and fresh pine, transforming the room into a sensory celebration of Christmas.
As I step back to admire the finished table, I’m reminded of why I love Christmas so much. It’s not just about the decorations or the perfect setting — it’s about the moments that unfold around them. The violet linen tablecloth, the earthy napkins, and the natural accents all come together to create a space where memories are made.
For me, Christmas is home. It’s the flicker of candles on a winter evening, the warmth of loved ones gathered around the table, and the quiet magic of a well-prepared space.
As the final touches come together, the home feels warm and full of holiday spirit. Every corner, from the Christmas tree to the festive table, is filled with joy and togetherness.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday season, filled with love, laughter, and the warmth of home. May your celebrations be cozy, your moments unforgettable, and your heart full of holiday cheer!
Your OURY HOME team.
