Lucy's list: 34 Christmas gifts for homebodies
Creative consultant and interiors expert Lucy Williams rounds up the best home gifts of the season
Lucy Williams became a bona fide interiors authority in the summer of 2022 when her house was featured in House & Garden, but for many she needs no introduction. She has built up a loyal following across multiple platforms, thanks to her personal style, which possesses that rare quality of being unexpected, but with a familiar, accessible appeal.
Below, she selects 34 pieces for the festive season that are perfect for gifting to new homeowners, perhaps someone who is restyling their interiors, or simply for those who like spending time at home surrounded by beautiful things.
