The Orange Slices That Make the Whole Room Smell Like Christmas.

Charmed House Interiors · Ornaments

Four dried citrus slices, sugared with fine glitter so the segments catch the light, tied together with a length of soft apricot velvet ribbon and finished with a bow. The colours run from amber to burnt orange — warm, natural and quietly nostalgic. Light enough to hang from the thinnest branch.

The oldest Christmas decoration there is, and still the loveliest.

Style note — the tree: Hang two or three at different depths so the slices turn and catch the lights.

Style note — gifting: Tie one to a parcel with a cinnamon stick tucked into the bow.

Two Ways to Style It

On a natural, foraged-looking tree. Cluster with pine cones, cinnamon bundles and dried eucalyptus for a scheme built entirely from warm neutrals.

Hung along a kitchen shelf or window. Suspend a row at staggered heights where daylight passes through the slices — soft amber, all season long.
