B But a quick word to the wise. Sustainabi­lity Su is key here so don’tdo be tempted to throw out your you old decoration­s simply because be they don’t ‘fit’. Instead, In you could simply s store them away for next year, or use them to decorate another an area of the home.

ELVIS Presley P lamented it being a Blue Christmas. Chr But this year, a blue Christmas Christma is something to celebrate. In a bit of a break from tradition, blue is going to be one of the hottest shades this yuletide and the shops are packed with decoration­s in all manner of blue hues. There is a plethora of choice if you’re thinking of investing in some new decoration­s, personally, I think the darker and stormier the better. Combine these moody hues with metallic elements for a contempora­ry finish that will really zing.

to IF you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, don’t rely on nature. Create your own.

Snowscape takes the rustic charm of the natural theme one step further, by creating a white Christmas inside.

Combine warm white lights with off-white baubles and trinkets to decorate your tree and add texture. If you want to break up the sea of white, choose an accent colour that will enhance, such as a cool silver or an on-trend grey.

Use thick church-style candles to create centrepiec­es around the rest of the home and if you really want to throw yourself into the trend (and don’t mind a bit of mess), use fake snow around your windows and mirrors as a finishing touch.

This is a classic look that will suit a wealth of interior styles – especially the current greyscale look. It won’t overwhelm the space and will instead add a timeless sense of festive style.

If you’re one for storing presents under the tree, make sure your wrapping paper follows the same colour scheme for a complete look.
