A kitsch, colourful Cotswold Christmas with Luke Edward Hall and Duncan Campbell | Design Notes
When it comes to decorating for Christmas at their cottage in Gloucestershire, Duncan Campbell and Luke Edward Hall favour a more-is-more approach, adding further layers of colour and visual interest to their jewel box of a cottage. We went to visit them to see the duo (and their whippet Merlin) in action, decorating the tree, setting the table, and getting ready for some festive merriment.

Luke Edward Hall and Duncan Campbell's kitsch, colourful Cotswold Christmas
This is why I can't be a total minimalist...colorful items and seeing other's collections make me so happy.
And, it makes me nervous and anxious!!!
Amen
@@rspen2142 who cares.
@@marjoleinspruijt4154 Evidently, you do!!! LOL!! Checkmate!!
@@rspen2142 buy a cake and celebrate it
Put a duvet/comforter under the tree while decorating and putting it down. Precious glass ornaments fall to the softened ground and don't break :)
The room the tree is in looks like it has carpet, or at least rugs, so I'm guessing breakages aren't necessarily from things being dropped on the floor. I have some tree decorations that are 50+ years old (old family stuff), and the glass is so old, thin and fragile that some years one or two literally just shatter in my hands as I'm taking them out of their packaging.
Yes, very good suggestion!
@@clairenoon4070 Maybe she was just sharing a tip with us. A very good tip!
Actually your idea is brilliant. I would cover it with some sort of plastic and throw a fabulous tree skirt over it. I’ve lost too many old ornaments falling off and smoke aching on the floor.
How utterly delightful this home is… Like a jewelry box popped open and spilled out its contents all over the kitchen table! However, the filming is so quick and choppy that one’s eyes don’t have a chance to linger on all the goodness.
It's the first thing I've seen so far this year that has made me feel festive! Utterly stunning!
I recommend a KZhead vlog 'Kirsten and Joerg', the recent episode where they visited Castle Howard to see the Narnia themed Christmas decorations. Beautifully filmed, breathtakingly beautiful, and I defy you to not feel festive after watching!
I’m so glad I clicked on this video! I am so inspired by how the cottage was decorated, their clothes, and how the table was set... breathtaking!!! I instantly followed both of them on Instagram 🥰
Great idea !
Luke and Duncan have inspired me to decorate more freely with their “more is more” esthetic.
beautiful, wish it was at least 10 minutes longer!
I love these two. I am not kitschy (at all), but I like their style. Especially when it comes to table settings and food and drink displays. I like how they make things classy yet fun. 🍸
I love how people surround themselves with beautiful things. Just gorgeous.
The water melon bowl is to serve a slice of water melon in! 👍🏻😁
I'm interested to know where that Elizabethan collar for the whippet came from? Loved it.
LUKE & DUNCAN ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR COTTAGE/SANCTUARY ~
I read Luke's column in the Financial Times first thing every weekend. I love their more-is-more approach - it suits them perfectly - even though it's not quite my style. They have great eyes.
This video is soooo English in every possible respect that it ought be put into a time capsule. Absolutely charming, what a beautiful, intelligent, characterful, unique warm and friendly home. I can't help tossing the adjective salad when I find things this lovely.
Such a handsome couple!! Love their style
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this over and over. Different days of course. I just love the vibe, the coziness. Missing our home in Wiltshire 🇬🇧 now currently in 🇺🇸 hoping to go back for a holiday sometime in the future 💕
What a lovely couple!! and charming home you have made for yourselves and your rescued greyhound! Stunning and magical!Blessings. 💜
OMG, those two fellows know how to enjoy life. Congrats for your taste and style, for your precious home and your wonderful doggy girl.
‘You can’t be too precious about your baubles’ what a charmer 🤪
It's so warm, eclectic, quirky and charming - Just like the two of them :) 😍
Possibly the poshest thing I’ve watched this year...and I watch Nicholas Fairford! Lovely video and great home :)
Love the dog! And the cottage!
"sitting around not realizing we're being smoked like trout..." lol. fantastic place. well done.
Just SPLENDID!!! Everything is so perfect!! The home, the tree, the table, the food, the dog, the wonderful clothes, and the Christmas mushrooms!!
Every time one of your videos pop up, this person who cares little about style, cannot resist indulging. How you can make all this stuff so cozy and harmonized is unbelievable and its especially nice to see two people so compatible and happy in a common pursuit. You have curated a collection of the cutest and most unique pieces....what talent. God speed!
This is brilliant! The whole design of the room (I'm sure the house too) is just beautiful. I would never have thought of vegetable design
Some people just have that special something something when it comes to putting kitsch together in an elegant way...these are those people!
They do have eclectic taste and good eyes to spot fantastic items. Not everything is matchy match but it is a treasure hunt everywhere admiring whimsical or well design buts and bobs.
Cozy and vibrant. Lovely design!!
Absolutely adorable fur baby ✨
Best part of this video is knowing the dog is loved and kept warm by his two keepers of the castle.
I couldn’t contain the overall coziness, the design, the food and the couple’s presence and it’s Christmas. ☺️🌸
So much character and so welcoming. Love love love 😍
Wow, loved all of this, loved them and loved the dog... a wonderfully mad and beautiful cottage. The highly evolved British always bring so much beauty and style. Greetings from America!
Ugh perfection! Perfect for the holidays, wish I was here
Omg ….lavender pants, orange gold socks, mustard shirts…what can go wrong? Awesome 😎
In the Tradition of Michael Portillo and his journeys with his Bradshaw.
I loved it! But, the Elizabethan collar on the dog was FABULOUS! DA
What a beautiful home! Really well thought out, but still has that homely feel.
I love it all. Especially their enthusiasm for all of it. I love Luke's crazy hair!
A very lovely home they've made for themselves and a great collection of items! Happy holidays!
Love, love, love them! Their style is wonderful. Love the dog and their creativity. Beautiful. ❤❤❤
Great video guys. Fun and interesting, you know if your invited your going to have a fantastic time in their company. Merry Christmas chaps.

Looks sumptuous but also cozy and homey, the best of both holiday moods! Love everything, especially the sweet little dog ruff
Lovely couple, lovely, cozy and colorful home!
More of Luke and Campbell please 👍🙏😎
Ahhh such a beautiful home!!! 😍
Beautiful warm and happy place. Lucky friends, who get to enjoy the wobbly pudding. Such lovely decorations on the table. Inspired me to do more this year. Thank you for letting us have a glimpse in your house.
Absolutely charming! What a wonderful, warm, inviting home you’ve both made! Cheers🥂🍾
Such a beautifully decorated comfy home I love it 🧚🏼♀️♥️💖
I loved this! Great couple and great style besides amazing energy between the two of them! Show more of them please!
Beautiful home, wonderfully decorated.
Everything is so pretty, warm and inviting. Oh yes...I love the family pet with that fancy collar 😍
I was not prepared to love this so much. Sometimes this design approach ends up being oppressive, this is the norm, because it is over the top. What I admire here is that everything they do is light and fun.
Beyond fabulous. The universe was showing off when these two guys were made. Australia.
What a cozy wonderful home! So inspiring!
Lovely!!! And a whippet too. ❤️
Luke is my favourite artist. Such a dream to see his house!!
Thank you God for Luke Edward Hall and Duncan Campbell
A fabulous pair of roommates they are
Enchanting and cozy! Great job!👍🏻👏👏👏
Love, love, love, love, love! You know these two throw a wicked party! ;)
