IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN, for our yearly holiday sildeshows, which you love so, and this year, it’s snowy white trees adorned in pastel ornaments and toile-covered rooms with chic leopard print carpets, gifts wrapped in white and candlelight, firelight and mistletoe …

The trend is still very much alive today, and here are a selection of our favourites this year, from traditional red and green to red berries and black branches, a beautiful floral arrangement by floral designer Philippa Craddock and more ...
