SEASONAL DECORATIVE IDEAS

How to dress your home for a celebration s the air takes on a chill, thoughts turn to the busy season ahead. Whatever event you celebrate, it's a time for family and friends to gather together and enjoy one another's company. Here's how you can make your home a little more festive this season.

Natural touch

Fresh flowers are special any day of the year. Put them in every room that your guests will be visiting. Add the scent of fresh greenery - boughs of cedar, pine and balsam - from your local garden centre or your own backyard. Mix in magnolia leaves, with their green reversing to copper, for a beautiful contrast. Seeded eucalyptus, in green or purple, adds softness and a lovely aroma. Twigs of dogwood, pussy willow, curly willow and birch add height and strength to your arrangements.

Freshen up

Fresh fruits and vegetables, in profusion, make lovely centrepieces, especially when placed in special containers like crystal bowls or on silver trays. Add green pears, clementines, lemons, limes and apples to your floral arrangements.

Take inventory

Use existing silver and gold tablecloths and accessories, special dishes, crystal bowls, candlesticks - they all add sparkle and shine to a festive occasion. Even costume jewelery can add a little bling to your tablescapes.

Get glowing

Light candles to set the mood. Create monochromatic groups in varying sizes, such as all ivory or all gold. Set them near mirrors and glossy objects to amplify their glow. For a centrepiece, set a group of candles on a framed mirror or tray.

Light switch

Add twinkle lights to larger house plants or trees. And speaking of lights, change the shades on your chandelier, or add shades if you don't already have them. If the shades are normally white, switch to black with gold or silver trim. This will soften the light and direct it toward your table or the room in general. While you're at it, why not change the shades on your lamps? If they are normally white, change one, or all, to dramatic black with a gold liner for a warm glow.
