1. white Christmas trees
No Christmas décor would be complete without a statement Christmas tree. So why not spruce (pun very much intended) your festive décor up this season with a fresh white tree?
A white tree provides a great canvas for decorating, but it can be tricky to get a cohesive look. The key to success is to keep your decorations within a colour palette. Choose baubles and other decorations that are similar in tone and decorate your tree with as many or as few decorations as you please.

How to decorate a white Christmas tree
The beauty of a white Christmas tree is that they look great dressed both minimally or heavily. The key to success is to choose a pared-back colour palette. Opt for decorations in the same tones of colour such as whites, silvers and greys and for a bolder look try mixing in one accent colour. Blush pink or gold both work well as an accent colour on a white Christmas tree.
How to decorate a Christmas table
Gathering the family together for a Christmas feast is an integral part of most holiday celebrations. These simple tips will show you how to decorate a Christmas table to create the perfect backdrop for your Christmas dinner.
1. Functionality should always be your focus – plan everything around the key components needed for a successful dinner such as plates and glasses.
2. Work with layers – the easiest way to create a beautiful Christmas table décor is to layer items with different textures. Layer a tablecloth, table runners, placemats and then your dinnerware for an engaging, tactile appearance.
3. You can then enhance your table with some all-important decorations. For a refined look keep decorations to a minimum. A simple foliage centre piece with some candles along the length of the table works well.
