Christmas looks to suit your style

Be inspired by these Christmas colour schemes and get your home ready for the party season

Contemporary chic Christmas

Create an ultra-chic look with black, white and grey tones.

* Mix white, silver and black decorations and choose a pale, silvery tree so the baubles stand out.

* Use plenty of glass and silver to add glitz and shimmer, and introduce metallic fabrics for extra shine.

* If the walls are patterned keep the rest of the scheme simple for a sophisticated feel. Plain sofas, chairs and flooring will balance the bold wallpaper.

* Candles in chic hurricane lamps add grown-up glamour and display different sized glass and silver baubles along the mantel to bounce the light around the Christmas room.
