Of course, just because you live in a small apartment with less space doesn't mean you have to miss out on beautiful Christmas decorations. After all, what would Christmas be without all the little things that bring the mood? All you have to do is simply choose the right amount of Christmas decorations for the small space to avoid too much kitsch. After all, the atmosphere should be romantic and stylish. If you are looking for a few tips and Christmas decoration ideas, you have come to the right place. We'll show you the tricks you can use to furnish a small apartment for Christmas.
Set up a small apartment for Christmas - idea for the Christmas tree
Admittedly, a small Christmas tree, whether artificial or real, is nowhere near as impressive as a large one. But sometimes, due to a lack of space, you simply have no other choice and have to make the best of what is possible. Don't despair just because your Christmas tree is small in size. You can stage it in a variety of ways. Apart from the classic oneChristmas tree decoration, which in itself makes the tree shine, there are also other options that you can use.
On the one hand, it is advisable to raise the small tree slightly. Then it will be more visible than if it is hidden behind an armchair or the dining table. You can hide the usually unsightly stand in a nice container. An old wine box is ideal for this, for example, or a nice bucket or pot.In a potYou can even find live Christmas trees that you can later plant in nature. A little linen or other fabric adds the finishing touches to this Christmas home decoration.
Alternative to the Christmas tree
Maybe you would like to try something completely different instead of using the classic Christmas tree this year? Just improvise with this project, for which you'll need vases of different sizes, lots of small pine cones and small arrangements of evergreens and berries. Then you can do thisMake Christmas decorations from natural materialsand decorate any area of the small apartment. If you want to furnish a one-room apartment with this decoration, you will have to do a little tinkering. Fill the vases with the cones. Then carefully turn them over so that they are upside down on the base and then tie a ribbon around the base of the vase and attach a small arrangement. Now put the vases together to form a Christmas tree and you will receive a modern Christmas decoration.
Cones as modern Christmas trees
Alternatively, you can place simple cones in groups to create the silhouette of a winter forest. To do this, simply form cones out of cardboard and then cover them with colorful, Christmas wrapping paper. You can also use colorful and patterned cardboard. Decorate the cones as desired with a Christmas tree chain and place them on a side table or elevated on a cake stand, mantel or similar.
Use unconventional materials
Regardless of whether you make the decoration ideas or buy them ready-made, materials that do not correspond to tradition are a good choice for appropriately highlighting even a small number of Christmas decorations. How about a door wreath like this made from artificial feathers or fur? You can then add any Christmas decorations to this and you have the perfect Christmas decoration. Don't just use the idea asChristmas decorations for the entrance to the house, but also decorate the interior doors, windows or walls with it.
Use existing items
You can also save space by not only adding new decorative items, but also using the existing ones and using them to redesign a small apartment for Christmas. For example, the sofa cushions can be given new covers with Christmas motifs and colors or you can replace the curtains and drapes for the Christmas season and in this way get a beautiful window decoration for Christmas.
Window decorating
And while we mention the windows: feel free to decorate them with artificial snow. This automatically makes the apartment feel more Christmassy and doesn't even take up any extra space. Another DIY option is hanging garlands made from cotton balls or white pompoms. These imitate snowflakes and delight not only the residents but also everyone outside. The window sill is best used for a winter scene such as a nativity scene or something similar.
Use items from the kitchen
Feel free to use the white dishes too. Cake plates like these are particularly suitable for putting together pretty arrangements. Arrange them in groups and then distribute candles, baubles, pine branches, berries, cones or whatever else you have on hand. The white color highlights the decorations and at the same time looks stylish and elegant.
Decorate for Christmas with socks on the mantelpiece – or not?
Actually, these are not socks. The fabrics were originally used as towels, but were then sewn around to exude romantic vintage charm thanks to the rustic logo. Since you most likely don't have a fireplace, you'll have to come up with something else to hang it up too. Simply use a branch that you hang on the wall and attach a bell to.
Use fairy lights in a different way
Fairy lights on the window,Fairy lights on the tree, fairy lights on the railing... we've seen all of that enough. If you are furnishing and decorating a small apartment for Christmas, you can also choose this option. A regular string of lights is simply put together like a chandelier and can illuminate any area. Both a side table and the window can be highlighted in this way. Simply wrap the lights around a Christmas wreath and let them hang down.
It's the little details that make it!
Here's another example of how you can use existing furniture and home accessories when you don't have much space for decoration. Highlight the chairs with ribbon and a flower arrangement and Christmas tree decorations. You can use this decoration throughout the entire Christmas season if you are setting up a small apartment for Christmas or you can just use it for the holiday meal.
