It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas ChatsworthHouse
When it comes to Christmas decorations, no one does it quite like the team at Chatsworth House. Adorned with 19,000 baubles and 3,500 individual fairy lights, the stately home is a magical winter wonderland that has to be seen to be believed.
“I come up with the ideas by being slightly Christmas obsessed – I’m always thinking about it,” says Susie. “I’ll walk down the street and take a note of the colour of something I like and I’m always taking pictures of random things. I have a whole folder on my computer dedicated to things I’ve been inspired by. It’s a big cooking pot of Christmas joy.”
As a result, designing a single Christmas at Chatsworth takes many months from start to finish, with the team already planning 2023’s celebrations. “From conception to delivery it takes 18 months, though the house team begins work for that year’s display at the end of September,” says Susie. “I’ve already got a title for next year’s theme, so I’ll be shopping for decorations in January and February and visiting Christmas exhibitions while the bluebells are coming out in spring.
Given that the historic rooms of Chatsworth are filled with an art collection spanning 4,000 years, the in-house joiners and electricians play a very important role, too. “It’s not as simple as putting a hole in the wall to hang something. You have to think of ways to install things without damaging the house,” she says. “We have 24-foot tall Christmas trees that are very scary to deal with because you don’t want to damage anything when bringing them in.
