GET YOUR HOME READY FOR CHRISTMAS

Christmas may be coming , but it ’ s not late to give your ho-ho-home a makeover ready for the festive season !
Whether you fancy a complete overhaul or just making smaller changes , we ’ ve made a list and checked it twice to help your home look glorious for your guests .
DECK THE HALLS :
Hallway decorating ideas for Christmas
There ’ s nothing like making an entrance . Welcome your guests in style with a heavenly hallway . A mirror is a wonderful way to add in more light and create the illusion of more space and photos show personality . Don ’ t forget practical touches like coat racks , shoe storage and umbrella stands . If you ’ re looking to change your flooring , not only do hallway tiles make a great first impression , but they are also hardwearing , durable and easy to clean ( especially muddy footprints ).
ROCK AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE :
Decorate your Living Room for Christmas
Living rooms are a hive of activity over the festive period , with presents under the tree and comfy sofas to chat / nap on ! Furniture trends for 2022 will see lovely rounded edges and natural materials , so these are great styles to invest in if you want a modern but timeless look . Throws are perfect for snuggling up to watch a festive film , and plants add a splash of greenery .
