Overdo It (Image 1 of 9)
It might look like a dog’s dinner, but it will look bright and Christmassy – simply throw everything you have (not literally) at the tree. For best effect, ensure the baubles and tinsel are evenly spaced. This tree is covered with pink and white decorations, pink and purple jewel decorations, white lights and embroidered stocking decorations, all from Tesco.
Complement Your Scheme (Image 2 of 9)
If you’re going to buy a tree or baubles that’s anything other than green, find one that complements your existing colour scheme. In other words, if your scheme is white or cream, you’ll need some colour; if it’s monotone, add some glitz and glamour; if it’s colourful, look for something more toned down.

It’s Bonkers But… (Image 9 of 9)
…we love it. The upside down tree was, believe it or not, once the norm, and it’s only relatively recently that we’ve switched to having the tree the right way up. We’re not joking. Honest. The upside to having the tree this way round (other than getting a good laugh)? You can get soooo many more presents beneath it.
