Searching for a way to deck out your apartment for the Christmas season? This list of apartment Christmas decor ideas will surely be of assistance.
A holiday-themed decoration on a table can help add a splash of cheer to a space even with something as simple as a scented candle or a centerpiece.
1. Mini Christmas Tree
If you’re in a small apartment, a Christmas tree is essential for the holidays. You can get one you can place on a table or even a slim one that you can fit in your apartment. Ensure that the tree doesn’t overcrowd the space so that you don’t feel cramped.
To enhance the spirit of Christmas, add ornaments and lights to the tree along with a tree topper. If you have a theme to your room, go for a tree with a color scheme such as a silver tree or a monochromatic one.
2. Cozy Window Lights
Your apartment could use some sparkling lights, so get festive fairy lights or twinkling string lights. These lights will make your apartment feel festive and cozy while looking like a fairy tale.
You can set up the lights to look like icicles or keep them simple alongside your windows. If you’re looking to add some charm, put up some snowflake or star decals on the windows to complement the cozy lighting you have. Your place will end up looking like a snowy paradise.
3. Holiday-Themed Throw Pillows
Your throw pillows can be put aside so you can use holiday-themed ones so that the vibe of your apartment can change almost instantly. You can go for different textures and sizes to keep the warm and cozy look varied and pleasant to the eyes.
Christmas colors are a good choice to pick for throw pillows if you want to stay simple, but there are also patterned ones with snowflakes and reindeers you can use instead for that extra pizzazz. Festive throw pillows are a painless way to decorate without crowding the place up.
4. Holiday Wall Art
Need something small due to a lack of free space in your apartment? Look into using Christmas wall art to give your apartment a holiday makeover without taking up precious floor space.
Put up fun designs of Santa or reindeer to spread the holiday cheer throughout your apartment.
5. Hanging Festive Garland
Hang up Christmas garland to easily sprinkle in a bit of holiday magic to your shelves and mantel. A garland is a versatile piece you can pretty much use with anything as it adds warmth and a splash of green.
Hang your garlands with fairy lights and add on some ornaments and ribbons to delve deeper into the holiday spirit.
6. Christmas-Themed Scented Candles
If you’re looking to make your apartment feel like Christmas, then maybe you need candles with the scents befitting the holidays.
You can use scents such as peppermint, pine, or cinnamon to make your apartment a comfy holiday home.
7. Put Stockings Up
You don’t need a fireplace to hang stockings for Christmas. There’s a fun and creative way you can hang them up thanks to wall hooks or even a ladder meant for decorative purposes only. Hang them in the hall, by a window, or even your door!
You can add personalization to the stocking by adding the name or initials of each person who lives with you in the apartment. If you’re looking to spruce them up more, add ornaments and greenery to increase the festivity levels much higher.
8. Holiday-Themed Doormat
Let your guests know what to expect when they enter your apartment by putting down a simple but fun holiday-themed doormat.
It doesn’t matter if it has snowmen or reindeer on it or it simply says “Happy Holidays” or “Merry Christmas.” Your guests will be in the holiday spirit before they even make their first step into your apartment. Add a wreath to your door and there’s a perfect combo easily made!
Hopefully, this list helps you decide what to do with your apartment. Having an idea before the holiday season officially begins will help you stay ahead of your friends in the decorating game. Please leave a comment and share this list so that your friends can decorate their apartments as well!
