With my interior design hat on, I’ve scoured the best of the high-street decorations on offer, and hand-selected the ones that look far more expensive than their price tags. Here’s my expert advice on how best to style your home for Christmas. Pick a colour scheme and stick to it.

This year, emerald green, navy blue, and champagne gold are trending colours that create an upscale look. Mix these with neutrals like cream or grey to keep it sophisticated. Balance highs and lows. You don’t need everything to be expensive. Invest in a few standout pieces like a wreath or quality tree and mix in budget-friendly items like fairy lights and baubles for a balanced, cohesive look.

Christmas is just around the corner, and if you're dreaming of a festive decor scheme that looks straight out of a luxury magazine without emptying your bank account, you’re in luck. Layer, layer, layer. For depth, try layering different textures. Combine the smooth sheen of metallics with the softness of velvets, the rustic appeal of pinecones, and even the gleam of glass ornaments. Layered elements give your decor a dimensional, high-end feel.
