Christmas dinner’s in the oven, guest bedrooms are set up, party games are organised, what can you do in an hour? (Besides making yourself look nice, which, I have discovered, is fairly pointless when you spend the next 2 hours in front of an oven!) How about an extra pizazz to your hallway? These ideas couldn’t be easier!
Star of wonder
Hang jewel-coloured mega stars from your banister to create a knock-out hallway!
Make a statement in your Christmas hallway
All is calm, all is bright
Drape your hallway with icycle-like fairy lights for the ultimate winter-wonderland entrance.

Remember how warm this cute and cosy country farmhouse looks when you’re waiting for the bus in the freezing cold and when you’re slowly – but noticeably – sliding down the hill on the ice!
I’m sure they won’t mind if you take a sneaky look around their Christmas home…
Steal the style of a warm and welcoming country Christmas living room
Add festive sparkle to country wooden beams with fairy lights
Add atmospheric glow by the aga with colourful hanging lanterns
Even the country bathroom gets a Christmas update with a white dove garland
I love this quirky dining room idea… not sure I’d do it myself… but it’s certainly memorable. The ghost of Christmas past meets the ghost of Christmas future as the classic Victorian-style doily meets modern red furniture and accessories.
To get the look, stitch doilies together in a delicate tablecloth, or use frills on fairy lights for a dramy, dinner-time garland.
Happy Christmas week everyone! I’m going to devote the next couple of days (oh let’s face it, the next FIVE DAYS) to squeezing in as many inspiring Christmas ideas as humanly possible. I’ve seen so many beautiful ideas in the magazines this month and it seems a shame not to share them – especially if you, like me, have been too busy rushing around the shops to calmly browse through the latest issues.
Take a tour around Livingetc‘s Christmas house of the month, a chic farmhouse with a modern twist – it’s stunning!
Traditional furniture pieces get a modern update with vibrant red accents and oversized decorations.

Add shimmer and sparkle to your bedroom this Christmas
Personally, I don’t know that many people with a super-modern home, so I was delighted to be asked to step inside a sleek modern house that’s dressed for Christmas.
… Ok, so they didn’t ‘ask’ per se, but i’m sure they won’t mind me stealing a bit of inspiration – i’ll bring it back?

It’s officially the run-down to Christmas (my advent calendar assures me so) and i’m getting really excited about putting up my decorations this weekend.
I’ve been finding dining room decorating inspiration this morning, here are my favourite festive schemes.

Draw attention to your festive table, by hanging shimmering glass baubles overhead. I really like the candelabras in this dining room they make a great high-impact, low-effort Christmas table centrepiece.
I’ve pretty much decided that I’m going to have a stab at homemade Christmas tree decorations this year … not that I’m not going to find style inspiration from the high street though!
If you’re still wondering what style to go for, check out this video of gorgeous Christmas decorating trends from John Lewis, Marks & Spencer and Homebase. You might find the exact style you’re looking for without even leaving the house. I think Christmas present shopping on the high street is dangerous enough, so I hope this’ll make the decoration shopping a bit easier.
The vintage-style Christmas trend has GOT to be my favourite. I just LOVE the chalky pinks and homespun hearts.
Looking for ideas for Christmas decorations? You’ve finally decorated your home in your personal style and now begins the next challenge – finding festive accessories to match.
So what’s your Christmas style? Mine consists of trying to match every single one of ‘those cute decorations’ I see everywhere and want to buy, whilst hoping they’ll go with my white-painted floorboards. Who says modern fluorescent baubles and country-style won’t go?
Have a nosy in these real-life homes for decorating ideas for every room. I thought asking the owners for Sunday lunch was pushing it, though.
