TREE TRIMS
Ribbons add texture and colour to a Christmas tree for a toned-down contrast to tinsel. Choose one shade and tie them at the end of branches, with baubles positioned in the gaps.
Hand-painted baubles, £9 each, Faro Home. Cream baubles, £12.50 for six, Cox & Cox. Ribbons, from a selection at Hobbycraft
FESTIVE PLACE SETTING
Gather plates together in a stack, with a ribbon wrapped around them. Dress with a napkin tied with a ring of rosemary - florist wire keeps any stray foliage ends in place. Finish with a pretty ribbon bow.
Blue Arden plates, from a selection at Burleigh. Ilex tablecloth, £165; Foliage napkins, £16 each, all Birdie Fortescue. Moon cutlery, from £17 per piece; Ming plates, £30 each, all Amara. Wrapping paper, £14.50, Cox & Cox
