It's that time of year again and as 1st December (the day many people put up their decorations) is only a week away you need to start planning ready to spruce up your interior for Christmas!
So over the next few posts I thought I'd share some great interior design trends to add a magical festive feel to your interior.
I'm going to start with a the all important planning.
1. Choose a theme and colour scheme which compliments your décor and your interior design style.
2. Try not to over complicate things and opt for quality over quantity.
3. Decide which room or rooms you're going to spruce up and which ones don't need any real attention.
4. Focus on the room where your tree is going to be placed as this is the room that people will gravitate towards.
5. Don't forget 1st impressions count so try not to neglect your front door, entrance and hall.
6. Think of new and innovative ways to make your decorations stand out from the crowd.
7. Be realistic! There's no point in having a tree so large that nobody can sit down. If you want a large tree consider an alternative place for it such as the hallway or dining room.
8. If you have small rooms look for trendy alternatives to a tree.
9. If you really want a specific colour and it doesn't coordinate with your soft furnishings use cheap rugs, cushions and throws to temporarily change your colour scheme.
10. As we know up-cycling and home-made is bang on-trend within the world of interior design and what better way to show case your creative skills than creating a stunning interior to wow your family and friends!
In the next post I'm going to share some wonderful colour schemes to get your interior design juices going! Join me and share your thoughts and ideas.
