9 Easy Ways to Decorate Your Apartment For The Holidays
Alright, so if you’re not one of those people who decorate for the holidays BEFORE Thanksgiving, we got you! Holidays are stressful, we know. With all the family, spending all your savings, and counting down the days till you can shut that laptop, you have a lot on your plate! Lucky for you, we’re here to help with a couple of tips to make decorating your space something you won’t have to stress about this holiday season!
1. Lights! Lights! And more lights!
Kicking things off with a crowd favorite: string lights! Arguably the simplest way to bring a touch of sparkle to your home. Snag a set from Target, toss ‘em around your balcony, and BOOM, instant glow-up! Such an easy, yet cheap way to add some magic to your space.
2. Faux Tree
Whether it’s a small but mighty one for your kitchen island, or a full-on festive masterpiece, it’s time to get your holiday on. Once you’ve secured a tree, the fun part begins — decorating with ornaments! Whether you’re into sentimental keepsakes or just love the aesthetic, it’s your call.
3. Dehydrated Fruit
Dehydrated oranges have been a hit DIY this year! They bring such a warm cozy vibe to any space. You can hang them as ornaments on your tree, create a festive garland, or place them in bowls to add a pop of color to your space. Plus, they smell amazing!
4. Get Creative With Garland
You can easily drape garland along your mirrors, doorways, and countertops — you get the vibe. This is an easy, classic way to sprinkle some festive spirit into your space.
5. Bows!
Alright, we all know bows are a popular decor trend this year. Go get a roll of ribbon and, well if you’re like me, you put them everywhere. On your tree, garland, wreath, cabinets, you name it! Such a cost-effective way to add a little more joy to your home.
6. Cheerful Countertops
Whether you have a massive island, built-in bookshelves, or just a ton of counter space, take advantage of it! You can easily elevate surfaces with table runners, festive candles, snow globes, and pinecones — the list is endless!
7. Festive Blankets & Pillows
What’s better than snuggling up in a cozy, festive blanket and binge-watching Hallmark movies? Run to Target and grab a snowflake blanket for $10! If you’re feeling extra, grab some festive throw pillows to make your couch even cozier!
8. Mason Jar Magic
Mason jars are incredibly underrated… hear me out. Collect some mason jars and fill them with peppermints or whatever sweet treats you please. Not only do they add a festive pop of color, but they also double as a fun little snack station for guests!
9. Winter Wonderland Windows
Love an easy DIY? Cut out some snowflakes and stick them on your windows! If you’re short on time, just grab some snowflake stickers or fake snow spray instead. Either way, they turn your windows into a winter wonderland and make your space look totally festive, both inside and out!
Holiday decorating doesn’t have to be a hassle! With these easy tips, you’ll have your space feeling festive in no time. And hey, don’t forget — it’s all about having fun! Happy Holidays!
