Christmas is approaching, and it’s time to start on the festive decorations for your home, which “magically” manage to lift our mood and set us on the countdown!
Once you have chosen the right type of Christmas tree for your space, it’s time to decide on the style you’ll use to decorate it.
Minimal or loaded with ornaments? Multicoloured or focused on a few select colours? Lots of different ornaments or just two or three chosen types? With garlands or without? With multicoloured or single-colour lights?
So many dilemmas… but they are a pleasant distraction from our everyday worries!
After all, there are no rules or “shoulds” when it comes to decorating a Christmas tree! Even the most overloaded, “kitsch” tree fills a home with comfort and warmth.
So the answer to the questions above is purely subjective – we’ll simply offer a few ideas for inspiration!
