Dos & Don'ts With Susie Watson

SEASONAL DECORATING DO...

Try new textures and patterns – the warmth and vibrancy of kilim cushions and rugs are the perfect choice for this time of year.

Layer lighting by including walllights and table lamps; bring additional comfort with colourful and textured shades.

Blend old with new. A considered and inviting room manages to make even the newest item look like it’s been there forever.

Consider fragrance – gently spiced candles and a real tree are at the heart of that unforgettable festive scent we all want in our homes at Christmas.

DON’T...

Leave the table bare – a simple tablecloth creates the ideal backdrop for cosy suppers throughout the winter.

Rule out faux flowers. Artificial blooms are attractive, more realistic nowadays and give you flexibility to mix and match varieties throughout the year.

Become beholden to trends. Christmas is uniquely personal and bringing out the decorations year on year is part of its charm.
