How To Decorate For Christmas Without It Looking Cheesy

20 tinsel-free decorating ideas.

This time of the year tends to be busy for most of us. So, you’d be forgiven for letting a few things slip by the wayside. However, decking the halls doesn’t have to be one of them. Nor does it have to be cliché.
When it comes to decorating for Christmas this year, ’tis the season to be stylish and unique. While, red, green, and gold might be the classic palette, we love the idea of bringing a contemporary feel to the celebrations. After all, no one wants the same old stuff you see everywhere.
From simple and cool to colourful, here are some of our favourite, non-cheesy decorating ideas. Best of all, they’re totally Instagrammable.
