Try avoiding all the usual tinselly plastic things, glittery and gorgeous as they look and ‘Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly’, as the old song goes.
Hanging branches of greenery high up around the walls or over doorways and using natural decorations will save money and help the environment. Holly, lengths of ivy, laurel, or branches of fir (even off-cuts from the base of the Christmas tree) will add new textures, colours and scents to your room. Weave them through the banisters, make swags for mantelpieces or fashion into wreaths or garlands to hang on the door.
