Make your home smell like Christmas

Using cinnamon sticks and scented pine cones is a good way to add a festive fragrance to your home.

Baking treats such as cookies, gingerbread men and mince pies is also a great idea to bring in those festive smells.

Brighten things up with some lights

Give your home that extra sparkle with some fairy lights. If you have some small fairy lights, try putting them around the fireplace or around a vase to give them an extra twinkle.

Decorating the outside of your house with lights is also a brilliant way to make it stand out during the festive season.

Use the rest of your Christmas tree decorations

Have you been in that situation when the Christmas tree is up, but you still have a box of baubles to use? Try using them by placing the decorations in a bowl, wreath or banister.
