STYLING YOUR HOME THIS CHRISTMAS

Rebecca Snowden , Interior Style Advisor at Furniture and Choice shares three ways to elevate your home décor this Christmas .
1 . LAYER A NEUTRAL PALETTE WITH CHIC METALLIC ACCENTS
“ Create a contemporary Christmas look by adding gold and siler accents to an existing neutral space . Mix stylist metallics with chrome furniture for a polished feel . Choose pieces that work well with your home style , like modern wreaths or chic baubles .
“ For an Instagram-worthy look , decorate the staircase with paper honeycomb balls in a variety of neutral tones . Mix and match different sixes with gold stars to bring an extra layer of sophistication . These paper ornaments bring a wow-factor with their subtle yet stylish design .”
2 . CREATE A FESTIVE GLOW WITH LUXE ACCENTS IN THE DINING ROOM
“ Set the mood for an entertaining night in with a luxe dining set and chic lighting . Pair luxurious materials such as marble and velvet with sleek chrome and black accents .
“ This sets up a polished backdrop to decorate with Christmas garlands and holly . It also allows you to create a festive glow by contrasting modern lamps with candles and fairy lights for a joyful ambience . Complete the look with fresh flowers , elegant place settings and stylish baubles for a modern Christmas tablescape .”
