The Chelsea Gardener's Top Tips For Christmas
As the one-stop shop for Christmas, the creative team responsible for The Chelsea Gardener's displays share their top tips for decorating your home this Christmas. From elegant, calm contemporary to traditional home-spun or, should you be so inclined, a festive grotto - whatever your style, the experts provide their cost and time saving tips to help you achieve your chosen look without it turning into an Elf's dinner!
1. Review and plan: Review your existing decorations and plan your scheme before shopping for new items. You might choose a different theme every festive season rather than the same decorations year in, year out. This doesn't have to be expensive or wasteful - by choosing cleverly you will build up a foundation of basics over the years and be able to tweak your repertoire depending on current trends.
2. Invest in quality basics: Spend money on quality artificial trees, garlands and lights which will last for years and form the basis of your displays.
3. Stick to two or three colours: Less is more when it comes to creating a stylish scheme and your party will be talked about for years to come if you think carefully. Traditional red and gold together is always a winner or pick out an on-trend primary colour with less expensive baubles against your garland or tree. We mix gold and silver at The Chelsea Gardener for unparalleled luxury.
4. Think outside the box: Andrew Kyte, Head of Buying, says that some of his most successful themes for his home haven't even been Christmas related. Such as using miniature empty gin bottles for a G&T tree or tiny red and gold shoes bought by the hundred in Marrakech.
5. Use your garden: Use chopped up twigs and evergreen stems to bulk up your tree, garland or wreath, and it's free! Mix real foliage in with your fake basics for truly unique and creative decorations.
6. Connect rooms: Your party will not stay in one room so why should your decorations! Link rooms of the house with garlands along bannisters, arrangements in vases - all using the same colours and accessories. Buy bundles of painted twigs and seasonal flowers for the hallway using your chosen colours and accessories. Link through to your dining table where your same colours and decorations should be picked out.
7. Senses: Treat all the senses and remember scent! Good quality, seasonal scented candles are a must!
8. Wrapping: Give consideration to how your wrapped gifts will appear when placed under the tree. Choose co-ordinating wrapping paper and tie individual gifts with ribbon for the finishing touch. If wrapping awkward shaped items, look to place them in a box first.
For decorating your tree, Andrew says to keep it simple and follow his five basic golden rules:
1. Treat a real Christmas tree as a cut flower. Use a stand that holds water to keep the tree alive for as long as possible remembering to top it up with water every day.
2. Leave your tree outside for as long as possible before bringing it in to decorate. They hate dry, centrally heated homes. Remember they will always make a bit of mess!
3. Always start with the lights - but test them before you put them on!
4. Start at the top and work down.
5. For a stylish look, stick to two or three colour ways.

Celebrate Doctor Who at 50 with theses gift ideas
BBC Worldwide has launched Doctor Who Home, a series of design-led homeware products created by Skew & Rude available online at hintonshome.com.
This is the first range of products ever developed by the BBC in conjunction with a design partner.
The broadcasting division identified a market gap for 16-60 year old Doctor Who fans, or ‘space-cadets’ as BBC Worldwide creative director David Wilson-Nunn calls them.
A bold graphic approach features Daleks, the Cybermen, and the TARDIS across 14 products, including teapots, mugs, espresso cups, note pads, greeting cards and wrapping paper.
Designs were worked-up by ‘vectorising images and then developing block colour work and playing with shapes across product ranges - tableware, textiles and stationery,’ according to founder and director of Skew and Rude Abi Williams.
Boxed card packaging features a TARDIS graphic which Wilson Nunn says ‘is like a secondary brand logo for us – the one thing that never changes and something we can use across everything’.
The Doctor Who Home Collection is available online at hintonshome.com and Williams says, ‘We’re working on the next season to follow this collection. We want to push the design as far as possible and have two fantastic concepts for a product brand.’
