It’s that time of year again - where I search the high street for the best budget decorations to update your home with this festive season.

I usually opt for a simple gold and white colour scheme, but there’s loads of lovely bits to choose from this year, for all homes and tastes. I’ve split them up into different themes, making it easy to find something depending on what look you’re going for this year. And even better, everything is just £20 or less.

If you're new around here, I write a post like this every season - in my 'update your home for £20' series. So without further ado, here's my favourite high street picks for the best budget-friendly decorations this Christmas - and there's over 125 to choose from, so hopefully something for everyone.
