If you do have room to add a little festive cheer to this already crowded space, a table centrepiece is the way to go.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How about a row of cute unassuming white Christmas trees fashioned from simple doilies?

Obviously they\u2019re still the best place to hang stockings to receive presents, but they don\u2019t have to tow the line with traditional decorations or colour schemes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For a contemporary take, opt for a predominantly white theme with accents of gold, silver and lime green. Group white stags, twigs and glass votives on the mantelpiece with a low hung modern bauble wreath for an elegant display.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/gold-xmas-wreath-1.jpg\" alt=\"gold-xmas-wreath\" width=\"400\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/gold-xmas-wreath-1.jpg 571w, https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/gold-xmas-wreath-1-250x300.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winter wonderland<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not every home has a mantelpiece or fireplace, but that doesn\u2019t mean that Santa won\u2019t deliver or that there aren\u2019t plenty of other decorating opportunities to be had.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Windowsills, side tables and other furniture can be utilised to showcase gorgeous collections of festive trinkets to add a magical sparkle to every room in your home if you feel so inclined.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Create a wintery woodland scene on your windowsill by combining silver and white stags, Christmas tree snow globes, candles and off cuts of pine trees.
