Countdown to Christmas



How it's crept on us yet again, every year I am sure we all think the same, should have started our festive planning earlier. Maybe you were going to buy a new sofa or perhaps dining room furniture and ran out of time, forgeting that delivery times are imperative during the seasonal period.

Here are a few inexpensive tips on how to give your home a touch of glamour to welcome guests or even just for yourselves to generally spruce up your living space without much expense.

Buy rugs or throws in snugly wool or sumptuous velvet, they can be draped over your sofas or chairs and when it gets chilly they are there ready to snuggle under and get cosy.

Add more voluptuous cushions, maybe in rich festive colours and even try some in shimmering silks. Large floor cushions can be an added bonus when extra guest arrive and seating is in demand.

Candles are in abundance at this time of year so buy plenty but remember never leave them unattended or with children alone.

You will be amazed at the transformation that these small touches will make. Happy Christmas......  Sue
