Organize the forms of decoration
Make sure everything has its place so it can be found easily when needed, such as wreaths, candles, Christmas balls, etc. If possible, try to use a color scheme so it all looks cohesive. This will also help to create a Christmassy mood.
If you have a smaller tree, put ornaments on it that are reflective or have a shine to them. They will catch the light and make your tree look fuller. Hang garlands on door frames, windows, and mantles. You can either buy them or make them yourself very easily. If you’re short on space, try to use hanging decorations such as stars, baubles, and bells. Not only do they take up less space but they also look very pretty!
Candles always create a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for the Christmas season. Place them in strategic places around your home and make sure they are safe for small children and pets. If you have a fireplace, make sure to decorate it with some festive touches. You can do this either by placing candles inside the fireplace or surrounding it with garlands.
It’s always nice to have fresh flowers in your home, especially during the holiday season! Make sure to put them somewhere that will bring joy but also not be too much work for you when keeping them alive – just imagine having flowers all around your home that need lots of watering!
Don’t forget about your walls. If you’re worried about the lack of space on surfaces, try hanging items from hooks on the wall instead of using shelves so there is space for bells, pine, etc. They will look very pretty and really add to the Christmassy atmosphere.
Get A Small Christmas Tree
The lack of space is often the main reason why people have a harder time decorating their homes for Christmas. But don’t worry, we got you covered!
When it comes to looking for a small-sized tree, your options are slightly more limited than when buying a regular size one because most stores only carry them in larger numbers. However, if you look around enough or order online, you should definitely be able to find one that will fit perfectly into any corner.
Just like with the trees – your options for decorations and ornaments will also be more limited due to not having as much space available. Therefore we recommend either going all out and making it very Christmassy or keeping it subtle and simple by sticking to neutral colors such as white or gold.
Another thing that may “close the door” on you when it comes to space is not being able to have a fireplace in your home. But don’t worry, there are ways around this! One idea is to put up a small indoor Christmas tree decorated with colorful lights and some ornaments all around it. This will look very pretty and provide you with the same festive feel as if you had a fireplace.
Make Your Space Look Larger With LED Lights
One of the best things you can do is use LED lights. They will help you achieve your festive look and make your space feel much larger than it actually is.
There are countless ways that LED lights can be used, such as decorative garlands, string lights around doors or windows, lamps with battery packs inside them, etc. Since there’s no shortage of creative ideas when it comes to using them – we recommend trying out a bunch and seeing what fits your home and taste the most!
Give Your Other Home Accessories A Winter Glow
You don’t have to always buy brand new products when decorating for Christmas; can give old ones a makeover too.
Paint your furniture, lampshades, or even walls with gold spray paint to give them a golden glow that will enhance the overall festive feel in your home. You can also use chalk paint to achieve this look if you want something more neutral.
You can also try painting some of your smaller pieces white or silver and then adding glitter inside the paint to make it sparkle when light is passing through it! This technique is great if you don’t have any gold accessories lying around but still want to achieve a wintery look.
If you’re feeling more on the creative side – make your own decorations out of coffee cups or buy some cute ones from second-hand shops and simply stick them onto walls for an interesting detail that will still look Christmassy.
Final Words
These are just a few ideas to get you started, but we advise you to be as creative as possible and experiment with different things until you find what works best for you and your home. After all, that’s the best part about decorating – it’s always personal!
