Decorating for Christmas is always great fun and a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit. The traditional colours for Christmas are glorious red and green, but your Christmas decorations can be as individual as the rest of your home and there are endless ways to create a welcoming Christmas home that's as unique as you are. Here we have put together our favourite Christmas decor schemes, with top tips on how to recreate the look with candles.

Yankee Candle Reed Diffuser (Christmas Wreath)

£13.59

Traditional

Inspired by traditional Victorian celebrations, this scheme is all about traditional Christmas cheer, with classic reds, greens and a dash of gold for timeless appeal. Try decorating banisters and fireplaces with holly and evergreen garlands, and place a Yankee Christmas Wreath Reed Diffuser in the corner of your main room to fill your home with that piney Christmas tree scent.

Candles such as our Red Plant Wax Dinner Candles and Price's Gold Christmas Pillar Candle (also available in Red and Evergreen) provide gorgeous bursts of red and gold, while Price's glamorous Brass Hammered Candle Plate, Brass Pillar Candle Holders and the Esque Cranberry Globe Candle bring rich glamour to any room.

Modern Glamour

For a stylish alternative to traditional red and green, decorating with luxurious gold, cream, white and silver gives you a sumptuous yet thoroughly modern look. Yankee's French Vanilla Votive Candles create a sense of understated luxury and look wonderful in their Stemmed Glass Votive Holder. Cream pillar candles complement any decor and our finest are Price's Beeswax Blended Church Candle - placed on a Price's Brass Hammer Pillar Plate they look elegant and perfect for the festive season.

Colonial Ivory Pearl Floating Candles are also a glamorous addition, as well as Price's Silver Christmas Pillar Candle, Yankee's Mother of Pearl Votive Holder and the Esque 4 Inch Candle Globe in Olive, which is hand-painted with gold wax and releases a delightfully elegant floral scent.

Colourful and Eclectic

Take a break from traditional Christmas colours and deck your halls in a joyful pinks, purples and reds, with a dash of silver for that essential festive glamour. This works especially well if your home is quite neutrally decorated - bright decorations look gorgeous against clean white walls and simple furnishings. You can add vibrant colours easily with Stone Glow Mediterranean Fat Pillar Candles. These luxury scented candles come in a range of bright colours and look great on a Mirrored Candle Tray. If you prefer to use tea lights, the Price's Purple Glass Tea Light Holder looks great and also comes in vibrant red and green. For vibrant colour and spicy festive fragrance, you can't beat Price's Spiced Apple Scented Tea Lights, or go organic with Heaven Scent Sea Breeze Organic Tea Lights for a refreshing splash of tropical blue. Together with touches of silver and simple white, these colourful candles create a joyful festive home.

Simple Elegance

Christmas can quickly become a tumult of flashing colours, bright lights and busy shopping centres, so transform your home into a haven of relaxation where you and your family can celebrate in style. By choosing understated luxury and stylish neutrals, you can easily create a calm and elegant look - the perfect way to relax and enjoy the festive season.

The WoodWick Fireside Jar Candle creates a wonderfully soothing atmosphere, with a soothing scent and the warming crackle of an open fire. WoodWick Jar Candles are available in a wide range of stylish scents and colours, so you can co-ordinate with your existing decor. Choosing Price's Beeswax Pillar Candles creates an elegant yet calm atmosphere, and for a touch of Christmas glamour, add subtle touches of gold with the Colony Gold Etched Glass Votive Holder, a Yankee Mother of Pearl Votive Holder or Price's Gold Christmas Pillar Candle.
