1. The key to decorating your fireplace is to complement it with your Christmas decorations, rather than allowing them to dominate it.
2. The mirror above should harmonise with the fireplace both in terms of size and style.
3. An architectural limestone fireplace, such as Chesney’s Stirling, is best suited to paler coloured elements such as white roses, silver baubles and crystal candlesticks, with the splendid floral arrangement positioned centrally on the mantel.
4. The Wessex Bolection in St Augustine marble surround from Chesney is a much darker material and will be much enhanced by using richer decorations. Red and gold are the key colours, which can be realised using red roses and gold accessories.
5. It is important to consider the function and furnishings in the room to ensure that its formality or otherwise is matched in the decorations.
