Sustainabl­e elegance

Sustainabi­lity continues to be a key trend this year. Most people now prefer eco-friendly decoration­s, from recyclable wrapping paper to biodegrada­ble ornaments. Embrace natural materials like wood, jute and cotton, and consider investing in high-quality pieces that can be reused year after year.

Bold colours and patterns

Gone are the days of monochrome Christmas themes. This year, it is all about bold colours and patterns. Some home experts suggest vibrant hues like electric blue, hot pink and lime green. Do not be afraid of mixing and matching

different patterns and textures to create a lively and festive atmosphere.

DIY decor

For those on a tighter budget or simply looking to add a personal touch, do-it-yourself (DIY) decoration­s are in vogue. Some websites advise readers to use handmade ornaments, garlands and wreaths. This is a great opportunit­y to get creative and even involve the family for a fun festive activity.

Outdoor brilliance

The trend for outdoor decoration­s continues to grow. Illuminate your garden with a range of lights, from classic white fairy lights to more elaborate light-up figures. Wreaths and outdoor-specific decoration­s are also popular choices to welcome guests in style. — Wires
