Some homes are so overdecorated for Christmas you don't know what to look at and come away with a jumble of impressions. How much better is it to present a simple display that gets noticed.
Before you go out and buy new objects to decorate look at what you have with a creative eye. There are so many possibilities. I hope this collection gives you ideas of your own.
Fresh Flowers
 |
| Cream poinsettias in green bottles |
I've always loved cream coloured poinsettias. As you near Christmas they often go on sale and the longer you wait the less you'll pay. If your deal looks a little bedraggled this is the perfect solution. Cut the blooms and arrange separately in bottles or clear glass vases. Perfect.
 |
| Amaryllis and candles |
Keep your display simple and repetitive. Amaryllis is the flower of choice here but carnations are relatively inexpensive and last forever.
Tiered Trays
 |
| Green ornaments on stacked cake plates |
Consider stacking several cake plates of varying sizes to make an arrangement similar to this one.
Glass Candlestick Holders

| Glass candleholders on mirrored tray |
BHG
 |
| Glass candleholders with silver and gold glitter candles |
Create your own glitter candles and display with glass candle holders. Place a few candles in a large box and coat with spray adhesive (sold at crafts stores). Spoon glitter over the candles to coat; let dry overnight.
Fresh Fruit
 |
| Oranges with pine and candles on mirror |
Simple white candles of varying heights, oranges and greenery.
 |
| Pears and pink ornaments with candle |
The pink adds that special touch to this display of greenery and pears.
Ornaments
 |
| Colourful ornaments in a glass container |
Layer a vase on a tray of similar shape and fill with ornaments.
 |
| Pine and pinecones under glass |
 |
| Fruit in tall vases with candles and greenery |
Tall glass vases or jars are perfect for displaying ornaments or fruits as a centerpiece. Add in some greenery and few candles and presto- stunning centerpiece
