I'm a professional homes stylist and these are the 5 things I always rely on when decorating for Christmas

Christmas crackers with string and scissors.

Just as decorators and set builders come armed with paintbrushes and ladders, as a stylist I have my own kit that I bring to shoots. It's always overflowing with things I may need, from Blu Tack and scissors, to all different tapes, tools and cleaning equipment, and I've learnt over the years that I need to be covered for every eventuality.

There are some items that I'll always need, such as Command M strips to hang pictures and my trusty steamer for bedding and table linen, but come Christmas there are a few other elements I add to the mix. Although you may not be working on shoots, if you use some (or all) of these items in with your Christmas decoration ideas, I promise your home will be the envy of your friends and family.
