HOME & GARDEN Decorate sustainably this Christmas One of the most cherished traditions during the festive season is decorating our homes with ornaments, lights, and greenery. However, there’s been a trend of excessive, OTT decorating in recent years, switching up the decorating theme each Christmas, which can impact the environment. Embracing sustainability during the festive season is a gift to both the planet and future generations, ensuring that the magic of Christmas continues for years to come. Natural and biodegradable materials Decorations made from materials such as wood, paper, and organic fabrics have a lower environmental impact compared to plastic or synthetic decorations. DIY decorations Get creative and make your own ornaments and decorations. You can repurpose items you already have at home or gather natural elements like pinecones, twigs, and dried leaves to create beautiful and unique decorations. Upcycle and repurpose Before rushing out to buy new decorations, look at what you already have. Consider repurposing or upcycling existing items with a coat of eco-friendly paint, some ribbons, and a bit of imagination to create something new and exciting. Merry minimalism Embrace a minimalist approach to decorating, focusing on quality over quantity. Select a few key pieces that hold sentimental value or contribute significantly to your holiday aesthetic without overwhelming it with excess decorations. LED lighting When it comes to Christmas lighting, opt for energy-efficient LED lights that use significantly less energy and last longer than incandescent bulbs. Use timers or smart plugs to schedule when your lights turn on and off, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Sustainable tree options If you prefer a real Christmas tree, look for sustainably grown suppliers. Alternatively, invest in a high-quality artificial tree that can be used for many years, reducing the need for yearly tree purchases. Waste reduction and recycling Ensure that any decorations you purchase are recyclable or made from recycled materials. Commit to proper waste disposal after Christmas; separate and recycle materials as much as possible and donate or repurpose items no longer needed. Support local artisans When buying new decorations, support crafters and makers that prioritise sustainability. Handcrafted, locally made decorations often have a lower carbon footprint and contribute to your community’s economy. over 40 displays Create a stunning focal point for your home We manufacture and install an extensive range of surrounds from timber to marble A wide range of stoves and contemporary electric wall mounted fireplaces to suit all tastes We also stock electric and gas fires Coal and logs in stock Let us create a media wall console for you with a choice of modern fires LOWER YOUR ENERGY BILLS WITH A STOVE They are cheaper to run than traditional gas and electric heating systems Open Unit 14, Hillside Court, Rotherham S61 4RP 01709 37843107828 178754 www.smfireplaces.co.uk See our reviews and work on 56 aroundtownmagazine.co.uk
