When it comes to Christmas tree decorating ideas, anything goes. From classic to cool and unusual, distinctive decorating ideas for your Christmas tree, perfect for even the  smallest of spaces.
 

Fake Snow Covered Tree
A simple combination of lights, pine cones, robins and - most importantly - fake snow Starting with the lights - very small LEDs look prettiest - we then mist the tree with water before liberally applying the fake snow. Last come the pine cones and the robins.


Stepladder Tree
Lovely vintage ladder, strung with mouth-blown glass decorations. This "tree" is definitely a break from tradition, but in a large kitchen, surrounded by the general hubbub of Christmas cooking, it work beautifully. It could also look good against quite a plain minimalist background.


Marbled Bauble Tree
Elegant and crafted. The uniformity of using just one type of bauble, but covering them in an unpredictable pattern that invites closer examination. Hand-marbled unglazed ceramic baubles, which have a lovely weight and tactility.

Pom Pom Tree
Colour, texture and craft. Tree with multicoloured woollen pompoms.

Miniature Trees
Lovely mantel-top decoration, but can also adorn a dining table or shelf. Hang lots of white paper decorations from the ceiling, and vignettes such as this one running along window sills and mantelpieces.
Naturalistic, cosy and characterful schemes - old-fashioned decoration, charming mismatches and detailed storytelling vignettes - rather than statement styles, be charmed by a nativity set than by a bold bauble.


House and Garden.
Between carving the turkey and baking the pie, flowers and pumpkins might be the last thing on your mind. But these decorating ideas prove a little extra prep makes the holiday feast a lot more festive.


Warm Essentials
A soft blanket, crackling fire and cup of coffee are the secret weapons to keeping warm on a crisp, November day. 

Illuminating Centerpiece
Shed a little light on your Thanksgiving day table with a pumpkin and candle centerpiece, inspired by the harvest season.
Grapevine Wreath
Hang a picture frame with a sweet little message on a grapevine wreath, adorned with mini pumpkins, berries and ribbon. 
Floral Overload
The secret to flower arranging is simpler than you think. Just start with single blossoms, placed in several vases of different heights. Top it off with a bloom at each setting tucked behind the place card.
Crisp Leaves
Red, yellow and orange leaves make up this fall mantel, placed in vases, strung as garland and displayed in a picture frame.


House Beautiful


 Your bathroom may be the smallest room in the house, but there's no reason why it can't make a splash. We have put together a collection of beautiful small bathrooms from traditional and country, to the modern, wild and wonderful. Whether you are thinking of decorating your downstairs loo or your en-suite, take a look at these small bathroom inspirations.



A built-in shelf is perfect for keeping bathroom knick-knacks to hand and creating a pretty display at the same time. The use of colour and galvanised metal furniture in this bathroom keeps it spring garden fresh. 




Why not make a small bathroom the place where you experiment with the bold colour you're slightly afraid to put elsewhere. 



A pretty pendant light and a wall mounted towel rail are neat final flourishes that are discreet enough to keep this small bathroom looking airy and light. 



lights float on the surface of the mirror like bubbles in a bath. The motif is echoed in the handles of the teal cabinets.




Dark wood decorates the walls, which are inset with art. A big white bath is a lovely contrast to the dark wood. 



What shades say fresh air, flowers in bloom, cool breezes and carefree afternoons? 
Sea green walls in Porter Paints Parsley Tint polish off a serene Florida bedroom by Jennifer Garrigues.

 In this octagonal anteroom between master bedroom and bath, Gary McBournie used Benjamin Moore's Florida Pink on the walls and added a dollop of Benjamin Moore's White Dove on the trim.

A colorful bathroom's striped palazzo curtains offer a graphic counterpoint to the citrusy paint on the walls and ceiling.

Designer Robert Passal mixed colors to concoct his own soothing blue for the master bedroom in his Miami Beach apartment.

For a Palm Beach sunroom, designer Allison Paladino had the walls glazed bright green to capture the light and painted the woodwork white to tone it down. "The sunroom is gutsy, but the room is actually quite relaxing because I restricted the palette," she says.

The dining room in a blue-loving apartment starts with a wall of cerulean cabinets and ends with a shimmery silver ceiling.


Are you ready for this year's Thanksgiving meal? Whether you're having your guests over for lunch or dinner, your table can't be one of the bunch. We've gathered a set of gorgeous design and decoration ideas to give your creativity and inspiration a boost. Enjoy!


























Pinterest has become an amazing place to find unique ideas of what one might want to obtain or accomplish in life. One of the common Pinterest boards found across the popular social network is “dream home.”

So Tech Insider hatched a brilliant idea of asking Pinterest to share what the most popular ‘home’ pins were. They asked what the most popular pictures were in each of these categories: exterior, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, entertainment rooms, home offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, garages, attics, basements, and outdoor yards. The results were fascinating. Instead of big mansions or little cozy cabins in the woods, it seems the most popular “dream home” is a family home that balances majesty with simplicity.


  • The main structure of Pinterest’s trendiest home is this two story, navy blue house with white trim.

Via Pinterest


  • The most popular living room style is an open floor plan with tall ceilings, plentiful lighting, and large windows.

Via Pinterest

  • Another trending living room also has an open floor plan, tall ceilings, and an amazing double staircase.

Via Pinterest

  • For the dining room, the popular vote is for dark, hardwood floors, matching furniture and neutral wall coloring. The artistic brass candles, chandelier and plants help as well.

Via Pinterest 
  • The other popular dining room setup contrasts a light colored theme and plentiful natural light with darker items like the chandelier and furniture.

Via Pinterest

  • The most admired kitchen utilizes rustic hardwood flooring, a center island and a beautiful color combination with the cabinets, countertops and walls.

Via Pinterest

  • A secondary popular kitchen also sports white cabinets, granite countertops and large picture window that opens up a nice view of the yard.

Via Pinterest

  • The top-trending entertainment room is more modern in style, with shiny marble flooring, a huge sectional couch and a big screen TV of course.

Via Pinterest

  • Another favored entertainment room is in a basement. If you are going to dream big, may as well throw in a pool table and a fully stocked bar.

Via Pinterest

  • Another popular basement-style entertainment room is favored for the couch that doubles as a bar in case guests want to snack while they watch. Cozy color scheme too.

Via Pinterest 
  • While most attics are dark and dreary, the most shared attic image on Pinterest has a bright paint job, lots of natural lighting as well as a swing to let you relax your worries away.

Via Pinterest

  • The most shared master bedroom has a chandelier, soothing yet bright coloring, with plenty of windows and lighting. The cozy reading chair is a nice touch. The bedrooms seem to be the only rooms where carpet is preferred.

Via Pinterest

  • Another popular bedroom has darker colors but is well accented with vibrant decor throughout the rest of the room.

Via Pinterest

  • The most favorable bathroom is bright, with a molded granite countertop, beautiful wood flooring, double sinks and ample cabinet space.

Via Pinterest

  • The other most shared bathroom has a rustic style, only one sink, a basic toilet, tile flooring and wood paneled walls. Yet the feel of the colors, wooden shelving and framed mirror really give it that cozy feel.

Via Pinterest

  • The closets that draw the most interest are large walk-ins. The most popular displays mirrored cabinets, wood flooring, and shoes for practically every day of the year.

Via Pinterest

  •  The next closet has a darker color scheme, an optimized storage layout and framed mirrors.

Via Pinterest

  •  The rest of the family can just use chic under-stairs closet space for their clothes.

Via Pinterest

  • Here is the most desired home office. The ample lighting and bright colors are perfect for keeping your energy and productivity levels high.

Via Pinterest

  •  Behold, the most popular garage on Pinterest. Although it looks more like a live-in garage!

Via Pinterest

  • Another favored garage isn’t very big. The main appeal is probably how clean and well organized it is.

Via Pinterest

  • As far as Pinterest users’ outdoor preferences go, a large and open deck with a pool table and bar seems to be all the rage.

Via Pinterest

  •  Another highly pinned backyard is an open style grassless area with plenty of amenities.

Via Pinterest

  •  Here’s another popular backyard on Pinterest. Simple and comfortable.
