1. Christmas TreesYou don't need to have a 7-foot Christmas tree to make it feel like the holidays. A great way to save a little space while decorating is to be a little creative with the size of your tree. From small table side trees to trees made out of lights and hung on the wall, there are a lot of different things you can do to save space and still have it feel like the Christmas season.
2. Christmas Scents
An easy way to increase the holiday spirit in your condo is to make your home smell the like holidays. Add a few cinnamon sticks, four orange halves, one cup of fresh cranberries, two sprigs of rosemary to a large pot, cover with water and simmer. It won't take long for your home to start smelling like Christmas. If you want a longer lasting Christmas scent, you can also purchase potpourri and hide it in the corners of your home.
3. Window Ornaments
Garland and colorful, shiny ornaments hanging from the window are a creative, space-saving way to bring a little bit of the holidays into your home. When the sun is shining off the ornaments, it will have a beautiful reflection that dances around your condo.
4. Decorate Chairs
People need a place to sit, so why not have it be festive? Whether it is a holiday slip cover for your dining room table chairs or fun leg covers for your dining room table, decorating your chairs are a unique way to bring in the holiday spirit.
5. Use Your WallsAvoid overcrowding your floor space and make use of your walls. Try hanging lights, images or other holiday decor on your walls. Such as before, a Christmas tree made out of lights and hung on your wall not only saves floor space, it's also a clever way to make your condo a little more festive. However, a Christmas tree made out of lights isn't the only way to make your walls festive. Hanging Christmas cards you received can also be a great way to show them off without cluttering your countertops.
6. Less is More
Instead of trying to make your condo look like a complete winter wonderland, focus your decor in one area. Although it may be a more simple look, this will create a more spacious and relaxing holiday look.
7. Don't Forget The Balcony
Don't forget the spacious outdoor balcony! Add a bit of holiday spirit outside by adding a small tree or outdoor lights to your balcony. If you use the same types of decor or color pallet, your balcony can feel like an extension of your interior.
8. Wreathes Adding a wreath to your front door can make your guests feel extra welcome this season. It will also create flow from the outside of your condo to the inside. However, wreathes aren't just for your front door. Wreathes are very versitile. You can create smaller ones out of rosemary to place candles in, hang some on the back of dining room chairs or hang larger ones on your walls.
9. Spruce Up Doorways
Make transitions seemless by adding some decorations to doorways. Either drape garland or swag or hang ornaments and Christmas cards from the frames. This not only save space, it also adds a cozy look to your condo.
10. Add Color
Adding pops of color with accent pieces like pillows, vases or curtains is an easy way to bring in the holidays without overwhelming your space. If your base color scheme is neutral, then adding greens and reds into your space will be easy. In addition, if you have a neutral base, it will be easy to add pops of colors for other holidays like Halloween or Fourth of July.
