Nostalgia lovers rejoice! Traditional Christmas decorating is back – and B&M’s rocking horse is a charming way to recreate the classic look.

Every year, new Christmas decorating trends emerge, from John Lewis’ over-the-top Yeti tree to the playful kitsch maximalism trend. But if you prefer a more timeless festive scheme, traditional decorations are making a welcome return.

B&M's Festive Folklore Rocking Horse is an easy way to bring a nostalgic touch to your home this Christmas. Place it beneath the tree, on a mantelpiece, or in a hallway for a charming finishing touch.

At 60cm tall, the wooden rocking horse is dressed with a red and gold collar and saddle. The saddle is decorated with robins and wintry foliage, adding a festive pop of colour to the classic design.

If you’re wondering where to place the rocking horse, it would make a charming addition to a living room, perhaps beside a sash window or beneath the Christmas tree. It would also work beautifully in a bedroom, positioned in a corner alongside red and green patterned bedding.

When styling the rocking horse, take inspiration from its red, gold and green colour palette. Pair it with forest-green and rich-red decorations for a traditional festive look, then add nutcracker ornaments, tartan prints and gold-accented candlesticks for a nostalgic finishing touch.

If this is all sounding familiar, it may be because it echoes last year’s Ralph Lauren Christmas aesthetic, which celebrated heritage prints, vintage-inspired pieces and traditional festive styling. B&M’s rocking horse is an easy way to bring that nostalgic look into your own home.

The best thing about this decoration is that it makes an impact on its own, so you don’t need to buy lots of new pieces to recreate a traditional Christmas scheme. It’s a standout addition that does much of the decorating for you.
