Décor tips
Thomas Johan, senior general manager of retail operations for @home, gives us a few simple tips to dress up our homes this Christmas.
Lights: Living rooms can be decorated by adding side table lamps in various colours, which will look fabulous during the festive season. Use red, green and gold cushions on your sofas to keep the festive mood alive.
Candles: They will spread the Christmas cheer throughout your home, whether it’s at the table setting or at the center table along with the potpourri.
Windows: Buy beautiful string curtains in colours such as red, blue, green and white.
Christmas Table: Classic gold edged crystal or china cutlery will be perfect for the dining table against a deep red or green tablecloth.
