Jingle bells, jingle bells, oh what fun it is to… decorate! Whatever your style, there’s a scheme for you!
-
There’s nothing like the excitement of decking out your home for Christmas. The anticipation builds as you gather your decos – new and old – put up the tree and dress it to the max, lights and all, before moving on to decorate with wreaths and garlands, and even beautifully wrapped pressies. And like all beautiful schemes, the secret is to layer, layer and layer some more!

1 THE REAL DEAL
There’s nothing like a Christmas tree to transform your dining room from everyday to fabulous! Debating whether to go fresh or faux – why not a combo? A fresh tree with faux red berry spikes as fillers. They’ll pick up on the red baubles on the tree and red roses on the table and, along with blue accents, will help pull the whole scheme together.

2 HELLO, COME INSIDE
Create an inviting entrance with a fairy-lit staircase garland, abundant with clusters of baubles. And for a modern take on a traditional Christmas scheme, add blues and whites to reds and greens. Love!

3 HUNG UP ON A WREATH
Take a bare metal ring and turn it into a fab wreath to welcome guests. Wire foliage to a third of the ring, add faux red berries for flashes of festive red, then hang off-centre.
