Festive party decorating

I adore Christmas. I know it’s not even December yet, but I can’t help get excited, especially as we’ve been thinking about the festive season in magazine and blogland for a couple of months already.

I love the excuse to dress up and party, spend time with friends and family, eat tasty food and of course, decorate the house. Don’t worry – I’ve not got the tree up just yet but I have been thinking about colour schemes for when it is acceptible to get the tinsel out.

We only have a few baubles and accessories wrapped up in the cellar from last year, so I’ll be adding to them this year and I like the idea of a natural alpine feel to create a cosy atmosphere. To glam things up a little I may add some hints of silver and gold – inspired by this feature I put together for the party issue of Fabulous magazine on Saturday.

How will you be decorating your pad for the party season?
