Well I have finally finished decorating the house for Christmas and can now relax with what I believe is a job well done. But it’s easy when you know how – and I can’t take all the credit – here are some top tips from interior decorator guru, Linda Fornam, for decorating your home for Christmas.
When decorating your home for Christmas, making your fireplace a focal point is the perfect way to add some traditional festive charm. "Remember, the mantelpiece is situated at eye level," says interior decorator, Linda Fornam. "It is the first place your eye will be drawn to when entering a room. It speaks volumes about you and the personality of your home, and needs to be dressed accordingly."
If you are using a real Christmas tree, Linda suggests introducing greenery to your mantelpiece to add a touch of nature to your theme. Traditional holly, real mistletoe and cuttings from any shrubs from your garden arranged into garlands across the mantelpiece always create a gorgeous Christmas look. Add a beautiful glow by intertwining the garlands with tiny white fairy lights, or by introducing some pillar candles (being careful of where you place them, of course) or lanterns.
Stockings hung on the mantelpiece, even if there are no children in the house, provide a classic yuletide look.
