Dress your house to impress


this Christmas! Where to start? Don’t stop at


the Christmas tree; with


these simple ideas you’ll have your space overflowing with cheer, whatever your decorating style. Start with the focal point; often the fireplace acts as the natural foundation so bring it to the forefront with a simple vase full of festive greenery and a berry accented garland across the mantel. Add scented candles to create a warm glow and fill the room with the smells of Christmas.


Choose a colour theme Whether it’s traditional red, gold and green or branching out to the colours of the rainbow for inspiration, sticking to a colour theme sensure your decorations look aesthetically pleasing rather than old style tacky! A single colour flourish adds sophistication, using modern popping colours will give new meaning to the term “merry and bright”, or choose your existing décor as the colour palette to ensure complete coordination.


Turn to nature If glitzy décor is not your thing then look to Mother Nature for inspiration; fill bowls with evergreen twigs and pine cones; make fresh wreaths and garlands from greenery found out and about; get crafty and spray sprigs of holly and olive with gold or silver, or add small potted evergreens as festive details.


Don’t stop at the living room Spread Christmas throughout your house so that you and your guests are never far away from a bit of festive cheer; hang baubles in the bathroom, decorate guest bedrooms with simple vignettes and ensure your entrance way shines with a warm welcome to whoever visits your home this Christmas.


Dress to impress The day itself; when it comes to the special day go to town on your dining table and decorate, decorate, decorate. Fresh greenery and flowers, baubles, scattered sparkles, coordinated napkins, candles and your best china and glassware


will ensure your table is dressed to impress, but don’t forget the cushions on your chairs…after all the effort you’ve made you’ll want your guests to stay awhile!!
