Here, Susie Watson advises what to do (and what to avoid) when decorating for Christmas.

  • Try new textures and patterns. The warmth and vibrancy of kilim cushions and rugs are the perfect choice for this time of year.
  • Layer your lighting. This includes wall lights and table lamps; try to bring additional comfort with colorful and textured shades.
  • Blend old with new. A considered and inviting room manages to make even the newest item look like it’s been there forever.
  • Consider fragrance. Gently spiced candles and a real tree are at the heart of that unforgettable festive scent we all want in our homes at Christmas.
