Deck The Halls!

Gunjan Gupta of The Meraki Table tells you how to transform bits and pieces around your home into an Xmas wonderland

Christmas is just around the corner and you’ve probably got a million things on yout to-do list. Of course, tis’ the season to be jolly and make merry and in order to do that, you need to check off the biggest monster on your list—getting your house all decked up. Being a mum leaves you with little to no time to spare, and you’ll probably find yourself struggling to figure out where to even begin. But mums, you can do a fine job even if you put in a little effort into those little, yet prominent corners of your home. Even if your hands are too tied to go all out, there’s no bar on those little things you can do to get all the Xmas feels at home.

LIGHTS ON!

Lighting plays an important role in creating that festive feeling. Doll up your balcony with fairy lights and the window frames with star-shaped lights, which you’ll find at your local market or online e-commerce platforms. They can totally take your decor a notch up. However, you will need to be careful about this with kids around. Make sure your lighting is placed out of reach for small kids, to avoid any mishaps. Additionally, you could also caution them about the dangers of playing around with lights.
