chintzily

In gaudy fashion

In a cheap, stingy, or tacky manner.

The word derives from chintzy, which originally described the bright printed cotton fabric called chintz but came to suggest something gaudy or of poor quality.

Someone who tips chintzily leaves too little.

A room decorated chintzily looks cheap and tasteless.
