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.

Kitchens - their successful design is an imperative part of a working interior. It really can be the small, simple details - tailored to the way that you cook and use the space - that make it a joy to use. Whether it's having jars of ingredients on open shelving, or something clean white and minimal. From ergonomic islands to modular cabinets and hidden storage.

Orange Farmhouse Kitchen
The kitchen is painted a warm orange, with wooden units. Copper pans are displayed along a traditional shelf and rows of plates adorn the walls. A wooden farmhouse kitchen provides both a work surface and a casual dining spot.

Green Farmhouse Kitchen
The kitchen harks back to the building's origins as a farmhouse. It boasts original terracotta floor tiles and simple whitewashed walls. The traditional wooden beamed ceiling is painted a vibrant green.

Mews tricks
In the kitchen area, traditional and contemporary pieces work together, where a mix match of chairs around the dining table create an informal dining look. Carrara-marble-topped units are painted in 'Hague Blue' by Farrow & Ball.

Modern Country Kitchen with Black Aga
The traditional country kitchen has an Aga and complementing units on either side, with the owners' collection of copper pans hanging along the length of the wall. The table was custom-made and is paired with chairs and a bench. The effect, although welcoming and cosy, is minimal and fresh.

Farmhouse Kitchen with Wooden Dining Table
The kitchen of this farmhouse is painted in a soft green. The traditional units are creamy white with brass knobs and pulls and a gloriously weathered oak table has centre stage.

Whether you have a dark basement in need of lightening up or a studio flat which could do with a canny layout, We've got ideas for everything from clothes storage to furniture and paint colour. Before you know it your tiny apartment will feel really rather palatial...

They look striking within the modern grey decoration scheme.

Flat Living Room with DIY Art
The sitting room is filled with improvised artwork; an acrylic-painted sample, originally done for a fresco later installed, with a sample for a door panel beneath it.

Small White Living Room With Mirror Wall
To create a feeling of cohesion through the flat, the walls were panted in the drawing room and the bedroom from Paint and Paper Library; the sofa, is covered in a Bruno Triplet linen.

Small spaces can be the bane of any flat-dweller's or home owner's life. But they can also be a blessing in design disguise. Awkward, small spaces are often a catalyst for change, forcing you to a) clear the clutter and b) come up with clever design ideas you may never have thought of otherwise. From small living rooms and small dining rooms, to small bedrooms, small bathrooms, small kitchens and kids' rooms, or even just small space storage solutions, we've delved in to the House & Garden achive to bring you clever, stylish ideas for every room of the house.

The basic scheme in the living room is minimal but it has injected the visual interest through the colors, pattern and texture. The decoration scheme ethnic touches used throughout.

Keep your bicycle out of the way and make a stylish feature of it with a wall-mounted bike rack. You don't need to store above the fireplace, a hallway will work just as well.

The kitchen door which doubles as CD storage.

The wall shelves in the spare room - along with providing storage - draw the eye up, making the cosy ceilings appear higher, while a chair provides double duty as a bedside table. An olive-stripe flatweave rug contrasts with a vibrant tartan rug used as a bedspread and cushions made from fabric pieces left over from projects.

Making use of natural light and mirrors to expand the space. Creating crisp, elegant, predominantly pale interiors - even on a small scale, putting favourite things into a new environment creates a fresh mood straight away.

When most of us think about ceiling for our homes, the thing that comes to our mind is white and flat.

The perfect ceiling design varies for each room and each home and depending on the available space; the surrounding walls and the overall theme of the house, there are innumerable patterns and colors to choose from. From tray ceiling to beam ceiling, cove ceiling to the highly popular drop ceiling, these beautiful ceiling inspirations give a room that exclusive and exceptional feel you’re after.

Include elegant storage to cut down on clutter, enliven your floor with a vibrant rug or runner or use the walls to display an art collection. If your hallway receives a daily bashing from your kids why not consider hardwearing tiles or wall panels?
