Scots across the globe will be celebrating Burns Night on January 25, with an evening of mirth and merriment in honour of the famous bard.

Whether you’re hosting your own Burns supper or feeling inspired to give your home a highland kick, there are plenty of ways to do it.

Incorporating bold, traditional tartan might not immediately appeal to the faint-hearted, but used judiciously, it can provide a delightful accent to a more muted colour scheme.

Add warmth and colour with checked throws and lampshades, or make a statement by papering one wall with a tartan print wallpaper.

Whether you prefer a punchy primary palette of reds and greens, or a fresher interpretation such as acid lime-based wallpaper, there are lots of designs to choose from – and each will have a striking effect.

For those looking to flirt with the trend’s fun side, choose kitsch, thrifty accessories, marking your entrance with a Scottish flag doormat, or by adding a framed print or poster.

Ready to get the ceilidh started? Then plump for tartan tableware and serve wee drams in quirky glasses, which are bound to raise a smile.
