Christmas party décor: Easy-peasy DIY tips to jazz up your house party this festive season

 

Christmas parties are fun to plan, but they come with their share of worries. While seasoned hosts and hostesses may be splitting hair about what to do differently this year, first-time party planners may be fretting over the finer details.

But whether you’re a novice or an expert at throwing parties, there’s one thing everyone will agree on: the best parties are the ones with a personal touch!

So unleash your inner artist and let your imagination run wild this Christmas. Anything from a paper cup to a Totoro soft toy can be an inspiration. We visited artist and socialite Monica Mok’s three-storied plush pad in Deep Water Bay to get ideas for Christmas party décor and were blown away by her creativity in turning everyday knickknacks into festive accessories. Check out some of the easy DIY tips that she shared with us.

RIRI’S LUSH PAD IS UP FOR GRABS

Renowned pop diva and style icon Rihanna’s Pacific Palisades mansion has officially hit the property market. The lush seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom estate which RiRi once called home is the definition of lavish luxury. The A-list accommodation features 14-foot ceilings, glass walls, a 6,000 square foot garden and a rooftop deck for those summer BBQs. The piece de resistance of the gaff, however, is the master bedroom with its double-sided fireplace and spacious spa-esque bath with views overlooking the outdoor pool. Did we mention the place has a pool?

Interestingly enough, Rihanna never properly moved into the modest shack. Apparently after settling in in 2012 she was hounded by fans to the point where she decided to sublet the place for US$65,000 a month for two years which is surprisingly modest rent for such a gorgeous property.
