'Think Trimmings: Don't just trim your Tree, Trim your Room!'
December 11, 2009

There are rarely enough hours in the day to get even standard chores out the way, let alone preparations for the fast approaching Christmas season! So, let the team here at WIDN Blog help you out a bit. Here are some handy hints from Jenny Gibbs, the Principal of KLC Design which will help you give your living room a festive makeover in just one weekend!

• Using a staple gun, from floor to ceiling, attach hanging lengths of either green or red felt covering one wall
  

• Using a staple gun, attach light garden trellis work to a wall; thread through greenery and fairy lights
  

• Buy a few inexpensive red and green cushions/cushion covers
  

• Fill a bowl full of pomegranates/pinecones (you could also spray some of them gold)

• Candles - everywhere!
  

• Fix garlands of fresh ivy/greenery to the mantelpiece
  

• Hang crystal balls at differing heights in the window
  

• Drape sheets of fairy lights in/over/around the window

Wow! Quick and easy but with stunning results. If you take time this weekend to do any decorating, why not send a photo of your Christmassy-creatiion to editor@widn.com?
