5 Easy Holiday Decorating Hacks to Spruce Up Your Condo for the Holiday Season
Christmas is already on the horizon. Is your interior space filled with holiday cheer yet? Decorating your home interior for Christmas is a fun experience that you will enjoy. Surely, it amps up your excitement for the holiday season to come. Furthermore, it also adds a sense of merriment to your living space. When you own a condo, there could be a few challenges involved when it comes to holiday decorating.
But with enough creativity, there is no challenge that you can’t overcome.
Decorating Ideas for Fall and Winter
As soon as fall comes around, you might be filled with excitement in anticipation of the holiday season. There are plenty of fall and winter decorating ideas that can transform your home into a cozy place. But you can also integrate those decorating ideas to fit the holiday season. It does not have to cost a dime. You can re-use old Christmas decorations you’ve used in the past for this purpose. Here are a few tips to revamp your condo so you are ready to welcome the holiday season:
Get a mini Christmas tree
A condo is smaller in size than a regular single-family home. As much as it would be fun to install a large Christmas Tree, you need to adjust your choices to suit the space. A mini Christmas tree that is beautifully decorated can still do its traditional job. Generally, it brings the spirit of the holiday season into your home. On the flip side, choosing to buy and decorate a large Christmas tree will make your condo’s interior space feel cramped. You might as well go for a smaller sized tree. This will make your interior space feel spacious and still jovial. After all, it is not in the size of your Christmas decorations that matters but how well you coordinate the smaller details that make them truly stand out.
Serve holiday treats in Christmas-themed bowls or containers
Holiday treats are a part of the Christmas tradition. Whether you have guests or you simply want to have something to snack on, it’s a great way to indulge your sweet tooth. From gingerbread cookies to peppermint candies, these goodies are exciting to make and more fun to eat! But when you are serving them up to your guests, you need to focus on the holiday theme, too. You can place those cookies in holiday-decorated cookie jars, or serve them up in holiday-decorated bowls. Preparing a basket of sweet treats is a nice holiday tradition that you can start in your condo. You can place the basket or tray in your kitchen countertop, coffee table, or dining area for easy access!
Install a Christmas wreath
Aside from putting up a Christmas Tree, a Christmas wreath is another classic holiday decorating idea you can try in your condo. The Christmas wreath should be placed on your décor. It is a nice holiday detail that will instantly inspire the holiday spirit in your home. Surely, it will bring joy the moment you or your guests walk into your condo. You can find these Christmas wreaths everywhere these days – at malls, online stores, etc. You can even make your own if you are feeling a little creative and wanted to personalize your holiday wreath! Whichever you choose, make sure that the Christmas wreath is colorful and eye-catching to make your condo more festive! For those who like to make their wreaths, you can find plenty of creative ideas online using recycled materials, too.
Decorate with holiday-themed toys or figurines
The use of holiday-themed toys and figurines is a great way to relive your childhood memories celebrating Christmas. You can incorporate them into your holiday décor to remind yourself of the fun Christmas years you celebrated as a child. You can easily find Christmas toys and figurines from the toys section of the department store. There are a variety of these toys to choose from. You can choose from ones made in ceramic or plush toys. You can choose one type or mix it up! Other ways that you can update your décor with Christmas themed details is to opt for a Christmas-inspired cushion cover on throw pillows. You can also update your dining table runner with one that is Christmas-themed. And if you want to go all-out, you can even choose a Christmas-inspired curtain fabric. Also, you can choose curtains that are based on Christmas colors such as green or red. And for those who are spiritual, you can choose to set up a small nativity scene near your Christmas tree.
Use Christmas gifts as décor
When you think of the holiday season, you think of the season of gift-giving. This is the time of the year wherein you will be wrapping a ton of presents for your loved ones and friends. You can still do this if you have already done your job of holiday gift shopping ahead of time. Furthermore, you can have them wrapped in boxes and you use that as extra holiday decorations. You can place your Christmas gifts under the tree to make it look more jovial. You can pile them in a corner or directly under the tree – the choice is up to you!
Another option is to set up a simple vignette at the side table next to the Christmas tree if your gifts are small. Make sure that the gifts you decorate with are non-food or non-perishable items. The last thing you’d want is to attract ants near your Christmas tree that would nibble on them.
