With Christmas being this month (!), finding the best Christmas decorations should be high on your current agenda. Whether you rally the whole family together and deck the halls to a soundtrack of Michael Bublé’s Christmas, or your day of decorating is more of a cocoa-in-hand, low-key affair, you’ll know that prepping for the big day is more than just sticking up an artificial Christmas tree. Sure, that’s part of it – but there’s also the stockings, the wreaths and the outdoor Christmas lights. All of which, of course, need to be in keeping with your Christmas decor scheme.
Down below, I’ve curated the ultimate edit of Christmas decorations and Christmas decorating ideas for every theme – whether you’re about white and silver exclusively or maximalism is your jam. Cos even if you’ve already got a ton of personalised Christmas baubles and luxury Christmas crackers in storage, it’s always nice to add a few more to your roster. And forget what you thought you knew: high-quality Christmas decorations don’t have to be expensive. The likes of Amazon, Oliver Bonas, Selfridges and Etsy all stock beautiful and unique ornaments for purse-pleasing prices. Merry Christmas.
