Give a twist to the traditional red, whit e, and green Christmas with our candy-themed decorations
Acolour scheme really brings a Christmas look together and adds a touch of magic.
This year, candy canes inspired our traditional, but right on-trend, red and white Christmas tree decorations, with a splash of green for good festive measure. The best thing about a traditional colour scheme? You can use it time and again with small updates to make it modern and fresh.
OUR STYLIST SAYS : Add the lights first, then favourite ornaments, st ar ting with the biggest, and then the small decorations.
Finally, check from all angles of the room, and even other rooms, to create a seamless journey that wows guests at every turn.
