BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED

Styling your home for Christmas is about creating ambience. Don’t just rely on the tree, add little festive touches to every room – think branches in vases hung with snowflakes, baubles in glass jars, foliage cascading from tables and candles in abundance. Simple ideas work together to create a truly magical atmosphere.

Evergreen touch

(Top right) Don’t discard the trimmed branches from your Christmas tree – arrange them in a neutral vase or pot alongside a few pine cones for an eyecatching, natural display..

Scandi white

(Left) Add interest to a bare surface with this super-quick arrangement. Put two or three small branches in a vase and hang a couple of snowflake tree ornaments on them.

Easy display

(Right) Who doesn’t have old baubles in their Christmas box? Don’t throw them away… Instead, arrange a mixture of matte and shiny shapes in a pretty glass bowl or on a tray. You could also add pine cones, fresh foliage and a few berries for a striking centrepiece.
