The eclectic hip kid

If bar lights, hashtag slogans and references to magestic creatures (unicorn motifs, I’m looking at you) make your habitat a home, your Christmas style probably acts as one pretty major yearly DIY experiment.
Try a wall Christmas tree made of draped lights, ornaments or decorative plates, like Typo’s version pictured above. Short on space? Grab an unsuspecting houseplant and a gold pot and give it the yuletide treatment.
The slick minimalist

Constantly think there’s “too much stuff” at Christmas? You’re a modernist who values only the essential design elements of a thing. The kitsch and whimsy of most Christmas decor may even provoke slight panic in you, so stick to stores that cater to your specific Christmas taste.
Georg Jensen is a Christmas haven for you, offering luxurious, Danish-designed ornaments, decor and table settings that are staggeringly beautiful in their superb simplicity.
For an Australian take on Scandi-cool, try Country Road’s comprehensive selection of laid-back homewares and accessories.
The enchanting bohemian

Warm, peaceful and rustic, this little decorator has worldly trinkets and earthy tones on their Christmas wishlist. Browse the handmade finds at Oxfam Shop – the Tiny Zari Christmas Stars would give any tree or gift-wrapping personality.
Karma Living has textured lanterns and candle holders ideal for adding soft glow to create a magical mood.
Small clusters of bells, like the Dreaming Bell Chime from Tree of Life, add interest to bare spaces.
If you choose to have a tree, consider adding one or two coin or tassel necklaces for ornaments that can be worn by you once December comes to a close.
The polished entertainer

Elegant and opulent, your Christmas is all about adding classic luxury. Your place is probably sparkling with well-placed glints of silver and gold, but try adding some opposing rugged texture via a Christmas wreath or bold wire table decorations.
The time-honouring traditionalist

If mini red-cloaked men have been adorning your place since October (Halloween what?), you are a festive devotee who wouldn’t hear of decking the halls with anything less than strict Christmas fanfare. Red is always going to be the cheery mainstay of your tableware and you also probably favour the whimsy of a good reindeer, angel or elf ornament.
Keep your look modern by adding flashes of fresh white to your decor. A bold wreath like this one from Wheel & Barrow makes for an elegant centrepiece or wall decoration.
