There’s nothing I love more than getting my fill of Michael Bublé’s Christmas album and feasting my eyes on tons of hilariously cheesy Christmas movies during the festive season, writes Cape {town} Etc’s Lynn Cupido.
But while I love anything Christmas related, I’m also incredibly lazy when it comes to the most important festivity – decorating.
If the only way to boost your festive mood is by sprucing up your space with quintessential holiday decor, but time is of the essence, here are a few easy holiday decor ideas that may help to raise the festive cheer in your home.
A garland around the window
I know we’re not in a cheesy American Christmas movie, but draping a beautiful pine garland (faux or real) around your window is a wonderful way to add a little festive vibe to your home. Takealot has a few incredible pieces that you can include in your home, as well as Super Floral in Cape Town.

Add some mini Christmas cheer
A few well-placed mini Christmas trees never hurt anybody. Pick and choose your favourite – wood, glass, or those glowing golden trees – and add them to every corner of your home.

Christmas twigs for your containers
Perhaps the best and most affordable way to add a little festive cheer to your home is with greenery. Grab a few vases and add some festive-inspired fauna and flora. Think pine twigs, a bunch of eucalyptus or a few carefully selected pine cones for a simple yet elegant Christmas touch.

Add a Christmas print
Grab your favourite Christmas print and pop it into a frame for a simple DIY decor hack that could save you tons! Make it funky (perhaps the lyrics to your favourite Christmas song) and add it to a fun gold frame – or anything that oozes festive vibes.

If all else fails, a simple wreath will do. If you’re looking to get something incredible this holiday that supports local businesses, make sure you check out the work of Capetonian gardener, Robert.
