Easy picks to instantly add a stylish festive touch.

The White Company has revealed its top Christmas decor shortcuts to easily transform your home with just a few finishing touches.

In a new video shared to its social media accounts, the brand revealed four ideas to instantly add a touch of festive style to a range of spaces.

Oversized baubles are a big trend this Christmas and they don't have to stay confined to the tree. Hang over mantlepieces or in the centre of large windows to create an easy festive statement in any room.

Looking to create a centrepiece for the dining table this Christmas? Don't overlook the humble candle. Arranged together on a decorative plate, serving dish or even cake stand, a selection of candles can create a sophisticated display and cast a gorgeous, flickering light in the process.

Of course, no tablescape is complete without proper napkins and, folded inventively, they can be part of the decoration themselves. Stylish as well as functional.

The White Company's video gives a few examples, such as a simple pocket fold which allows cutlery to sit neatly inside. Accessorise with a small touch such as a miniature bauble, pine cone or spring of rosemary or other herb.

One of the most obvious ways is with a classic Christmas garland. A long garland can be used year after year in a multitude of locations making it a versatile piece.

Wrap around the door frame to create a warming welcome, lace up the staircase to add festive cheer to the hallway or even, as The White Company demonstrates in its video, trail down the dinner table as a centrepiece.
