Ways to Decorate Your Apartment this Holiday Season
When most people think of holiday decorations, they think of their house, not their apartment. But this doesn’t mean that those who live in an apartment home can’t have some fun! Here are 5 simple ways to decorate your apartment for the holiday season so you can enjoy yourself and be the envy of all your neighbors!
If you’re living in an apartment, then decorating for Christmas can seem like a challenge. While you may have limited space and no fireplace, there are many ways to bring some holiday cheer into your place. To help your holiday season go smoothly and quickly, here are some tips for decorating a small apartment during Christmas. Follow these steps, and you’ll be able to enjoy an apartment that feels cozy and warm even if you don’t have any extra space.
1. Decorate Your Front Door
If you’re decorating your apartment for Christmas, starting with your front door is a great way to add a festive touch. With just a few supplies, you can make a simple wreath that will warm up your doorway and set the holiday tone for your apartment.
2. Incorporate Family Memories
There’s no better way to decorate your apartment than with a few childhood keepsakes. Whether it’s a cherished Christmas ornament or a picture of Grandma sitting on Santa’s lap, you can incorporate family memories into your holiday décor by framing and hanging them around your apartment home.
3. Stick to a Theme or Color Combination
Apartment living can seem to get cramped and crazy during the holiday season, but there are a few simple ways you can bring it back down to size. By sticking with either a Christmas-tree theme or one of your favorite colors, you can add personality without overcrowding your space. Start with something small (like an accent pillow), and work your way up from there—and if you don’t have anything on hand, it’s never too late to start shopping.
4. Incorporate Holiday Scents
Instead of spending lots of money on expensive ornaments and decorations, why not consider incorporating scented candles, potpourri and incense into your holiday decorating plans? A nice touch is to add a few drops of essential oils like eucalyptus, pine and cinnamon oil in simmering water. The scent will permeate throughout your apartment. For example, if you want an earthy smell you can mix orange, patchouli and sage essential oils with a drop of vanilla extract.
5. Decorate One or More Small Trees
One of the easiest ways to get your apartment ready for Christmas is with a small tree. Purchase a pre-lit artificial tree and place it in a corner of your living room. Smaller trees are more ideal for tight living spaces as they’re easier to decorate and transport when you’re moving out. Ensure that your artificial tree is fireproof!
