How to decorate your home

Decorate to a theme. Take a color or shape and build your decorations around it. Baskets can look stunning filled with seasonally flowers or fruit, hung in groups from corners, light fittings or in front of windows.

If you are short on ideas, have a look at what the department stores are doing this year. Generally, these professional displays look very expensive.

Look closer, however, and you'll probably find they have been made from inexpensive materials put together with flair.

To decorate fruit bowls cover some fruit with foil or colored tissue. If you don't have sufficient bowls, cover an old flower pot or box, with wrapping.

Candles have a festive quality, especially red and green ones. Make your own candle displays on a saucer with the candle and other decorations set in oasis.

Include sprigs of holly or pine, artificial or dried flowers and the odd ribbon, assembled round the base of the candle so both oasis and saucer are concealed. They can look professional and expensive, as well as attractive.

In all your displays, don't overlook the usefulness of pine cones, grasses, bare branches and drift wood. But do remember to be careful with lit candles.

Choose your Christmas tree with care. Natural trees are lovely but the needles will start to drop in the warmth of the home. Artificial trees last for ever and retain their built-in good looks.
