How can I make my house look more Christmassy?

Start with the soft items that cover the most space: a duvet cover set, cushion covers and a few mugs. Add lights where you will see them, such as curtain lights on a window and flameless candles on a shelf, and hang a wreath on the door. Our room-by-room guide gives the order of work.

What is the 3-5-7 rule in decorating?

It is a styling rule that groups objects in odd numbers: three, five or seven. An uneven group tends to look more natural than a pair or a row of four. At Christmas it works for candles on a shelf, cushions on a sofa or mugs on a tray.

How do I decorate windows for Christmas?

Measure the glass first. Curtain lights are sized by width and drop, such as 3 x 3 m or 2 x 2 m, and window stickers come in packs of several sheets. Paper snowflakes need only paper and scissors, and our window decorating guide covers all three.

How much does Christmas home decor cost?

In this collection prices run from £3.99 to £46.99, with a median of £11.99. The median is £19.99 for duvet cover sets, £9.98 for cushion covers and £14 for mugs. Window stickers and a door wreath hanger sit at the bottom of the range.

What mistakes should I avoid when decorating for Christmas?

The first is buying before measuring, because bed size, pad size, window glass and shelf depth all decide what fits. Mixing too many colours and scattering small items are the other two. Pick two or three colours and group small items in threes or fives.
