TOP TIPS

Deb and David’s advice for getting the traditional Christmas look

1. Treat yourself to a real tree. They don’t have to be perfect, the beauty is in their imperfections. The smell of the pine is a feast for the Christmas senses. 2. Put up static warm white fairy lights – they are much easier on the eye than flashing lights. 3. Christmas is not a time to be minimalist. If it makes you happy, let loose with your decorations. 4. Stick to a theme or a couple of key colours in a room. 5. Keep it classy – it’s more relaxing.
