10 Christmas Styling Hacks
1 A TREE OR THREE

A decorated Christmas tree is the starting point for most festive schemes – and some families like to go for more than one. A mini tree or two can be a lovely way to introduce a Christmassy feel into the home. Mini trees cost as little as $5 and can live in a family room, on a hall table, on the kitchen bench or wherever you have the space. You could also add one to a playroom or child’s bedroom and the kids could choose a few special decorations for it or make their own.

2 CANDLES & DIFFUSERS

For an easy dining-table centrepiece, create an arrangement of candles down the middle of your table. Mix things up by including different sizes and heights.

For an aromatic option, introduce an oil diffuser with a festive scent, such as pine, cookie dough or cinnamon spice. This is a simple way to add a subtle touch of Christmas.

3 LIGHTBULB MOMENTS

Festive lights are a growing trend in New Zealand, from simple strings to full-on Christmas displays. Why not start the movement on your street and take your decorating outside?

4 STEP IT UP

A ladder rack is a great way to display greeting cards. After Christmas, it can be used to hang magazines and kids’ books in a living space or towels in the bathroom.
