I feel a bit swamped with all of the Christmas decorations we have collected over the years and I’m starting to come round to the idea that less is more.  Anyone else feeling the same?!

The use of fewer decorations can make a big impact and still have the ‘wow’ factor; remember quality not quantity!  Pack away some of your everyday ornaments over the festive season to make way for your Christmas decorations, it’s well worth the trouble.  We’ve packed some of ours away and the house definitely looks less cluttered!

above: who said baubles have to be on the tree?  Get the most out of those beautiful colours by grouping them together to make a lovely hanging decoration.  Consider filling a clear glass vase with baubles too, for a pretty table centrepiece.
