And remember, you can always repaint them should you fancy a change of scenery next year. 

Keep everything else neutral to allow eye-catching details such as patterned crackers and novelty place settings to take centre stage. 

Layer textures throughout for rooms that feel as good as they look. A velvet throw and sheepskin rugs instantly transform a bedroom into a cosy retreat.
