4. Table and Kitchen Island<br />
Decorations<br />
I'm not just talking about decorating your table for the big<br />
day, although that is obviously very important but for all the days<br />
leading up to Christmas. Now I'm not suggesting that you cover<br />
your worktops in baubles and glitter, leaving you no space to cook,<br />
but adding a few gorgeous elements still gives you that<br />
warm Christmassy feel.<br />
Beautiful Christmas plants are a perfect addition<br />
to your table or island. There are so much to<br />
choose from, from Poinsettias to Christmas<br />
roses, allowing you to create a perfect festive<br />
vignette. For long tables three plants,<br />
interlined with wired fairy lights or candles<br />
looks beautiful. For islands and worktops,<br />
cluster a few plants together and you add<br />
some Candles, providing an opportunity to<br />
fill your home with a perfect Christmas scent.<br />
If you want your home to appeal to<br />
your kids, then tall glass jars filled with festive<br />
Christmas candy canes and gingerbread also looks<br />
magical, although the contents may not last that long!<br />
If you want your home to appeal to partying adults,<br />
then setting up a festive drinks counter with gold and glitter<br />
accessories, it really adds a wow factor to the festive celebrations!<br />
5. Christmas Hanging Decorations<br />
When we take on a new project, we always remember to look<br />
at the spaces from all angles and all heights. It doesn't matter if<br />
you have the most amazing flooring if you've left your ceilings<br />
completely bare. This is the same<br />
with decorating for Christmas,<br />
how a home looks from the<br />
floor to ceiling is very important.<br />
It all comes back to scale and<br />
perspective. Hanging Christmas<br />
decorations increases the sense<br />
of scale and allows your eyeline to<br />
be transported around<br />
the entire space.<br />
Now you can hang whatever you like,<br />
wherever you like. My preference is along<br />
tall patio, sliding or folding doors. When<br />
most of us extend or renovate our homes,<br />
we often add large expanses of glass to<br />
bring in the light and connect us to our<br />
gardens and nature. This provides a<br />
brilliant opportunity at Christmas to use<br />
them in our decorating schemes.<br />
Alternatively, a large wall also works<br />
well. For this rustic wall we added fairly<br />
lights and paper pin wheel decorations<br />
that create an incredible impact. You can<br />
string fairly lights, stars or even snowflakes and<br />
the finished effect is beautiful and magical.<br />
So there you have it, a very simple guide to bring in<br />
that much needed Christmas spirit into your home. We hope you<br />
enjoy transporting your home into a Christmas wonderland. And<br />
when those Christmas decorations all come down in January and<br />
you start to think your home might need a refurb, then get in touch<br />
