Can this be the most elegantly decorated house ever?

Sharing her staple decorations for the Christmas tree, Sophie says you have to have lights - and she favours plain lights because they make the decorations sparkle

Considering that she decorates the homes of the rich and famous, so it's hardly surprising that interior designer Sophie Paterson's abode looks fabulously festive at Christmas time.

The interior designer, whose home features no less than four dazzling Christmas trees, used Scottish-inspired decorations in homage to her husband and some very chic wreaths, and has shared her extensive decor tips so you can make your own home look as luxurious as hers.

Sophie explains that in her formal sitting room, she has gone for a 'glamorous theme' with decorations in a palette of white, gold and silver, with plenty of coral and roses to add to the ambiance (and there's not a piece of tinsel in sight)

In the dining room, where Sophie hosts her guests on December 25, the colour palette is deep red with plenty of gold. Sophie maintains that tinsel is never coming back in fashion so advises 'chucking it in the bin'

Sophie says she puts her trees up early as she uses fake trees so she doesn't need to worry about them dropping. She said: 'This year I put my trees up in mid-November, which is even early by my standards! I always go for pre-lit trees as even though I want it to look like I¿ve made lots of effort, I can¿t be bothered with untangling lights and then having to wrap them round four trees!'

Sophie says you should never forget some Christmassy music to get into the Christmas mode, citing Michael Buble's album as an essential to have on repeat
