Christmas is coming – yes, already – and that means one thing: it’s time to start thinking about festive décor. Whether you’re a full-on traditionalist and your tree’s a visual feast of baubles and tinsel, or you prefer a pared-back, Instagram-worthy winter wonderland, planning ahead is key.

After all, the right decorations can instantly transform a space, set the mood for cosy evenings and make hosting family and friends feel a little magical. And let’s be honest, there’s a thrill in finding pieces that feel stylish but won’t break the bank or take up half your cupboard until next year.

Enter paper Christmas decorations. This season, everything from folded trees and honeycomb spheres to pleated sweets are taking centre stage and for good reason. They’re lightweight, easy to store and – crucially – they look effortlessly chic. Marks & Spencer, Next and Cox & Cox are all offering playful yet polished designs for under £35, making it simple to refresh your home without splashing out.

Paper decorations are also unexpectedly versatile. Hang a cluster of folded stars in a window, drape a pleated garland along a mantel or scatter pinecone baubles across a console table – each piece adds texture, movement and festive cheer without overwhelming your space. With muted palettes, soft metallics and classic whites, they slot seamlessly into modern interiors while giving a subtle nod to tradition.

So if you’re thinking about your seasonal set-up this year, these paper decorations are a must. Stylish, practical and budget-friendly, they’re the festive detail you didn’t know you needed – and chances are, you’ll be seeing them everywhere this December.
