Change Your Wreath Game
Wreaths are a Christmas staple and one of the most accessible decorations. Get half wreaths or wreaths with only a few ornaments to decorate your wall, cabinet, or your front door. Half wreaths are a great way to decorate your home while minimizing visual clutter and keeping things simple yet elegant.
Skip The Tree Ornaments
Instead of hanging all your baubles and ornaments on your tree, go bare. Place your tree in a basket with blankets or a faux fur rug to keep your tree snug and in place. Top it with a golden star to make your Christmas tree stand out. Skipping the ornaments also saves you the hassle of picking up fallen baubles or sweeping away broken ornaments.
Bring In Natural Pieces
Create a rustic Christmas environment by incorporating natural pieces in your decor. Branches, pine cones, and tree cuttings are some of the outdoor ornaments you can bring into your home. Make a garland by stringing acorns together and decorating your walls or windows. Place branches on a vase or glass jar close to a bowl of pine cones to decorate your coffee table or dresser. The outdoors offer natural pieces perfect for your home.
Not only are pine cones, branches, and twigs free, but the greens and browns of these natural elements complement almost all kinds of interior designs. For example, some of The Rise Makati’s units combine modern textures mixed with decor resembling plants, wallpaper with tree branch prints, and hardwood flooring.
Repurpose Glass Jars
Glass jars aren’t just for storing marmalade, pickles, and paintbrushes. Repurpose your empty glass jars by using them to hold holly branches, pine twigs, or small tree cuttings if you need a compact Christmas tree. Place cones, acorns, origami stars, or candles in your jars to decorate your dining or coffee table. Tie sprigs of evergreen around the jars’ necks to give them a winter look fitting for the holidays.
Frame with Garlands
Forget the tinsel. Drape garlands on your windows and dining table to create an instant Christmas feel in your home. Garlands also keep the place looking festive, organic, and refreshing with minimal effort.
DIY Hanging Decor
DIY Christmas mobiles by hanging cones, Christmas baubles, cookie cutters, and pine sprigs on a pine branch or a wooden hoop. Use a thick golden thread to hang your ornaments to make your Christmas mobile more elegant looking.
Keep Your Wrapping Simple
Presents are another highlight to make the holidays warmer and more joyful. Since your gifts will be part of your Christmas decor until it’s time to rip the wrappers apart, stick to the minimalist theme by keeping the wrapping simple. Cover your gifts in plain white, black, or brown paper and tie them with jute or paper twine to make them look like old-fashioned parcels. Add pine cones, holly twigs, or pine branches if you want them to look more Christmas-like.
As a whole, decorating your home for Christmas doesn’t need to be grand and luxurious. Sometimes, less is more when it comes to beautifying your home and fostering a joyful spirit for the holiday season. Consider these seven minimalist ideas to decorate your home for less.
