Tips for Decorating Small Spaces for the Holidays

Even a small space can be decorated for the winter season. Many decorations come in smaller forms, and you should specifically look for those when doing your holiday shopping. Various other strategies can give you a beautiful space, no matter how small.
If you celebrate Christmas, you may not have room for a large tree in your space. Instead you can look for a miniature tree from a company such as Mini Christmas Trees. These can often fit on tables. You can still decorate them with tinsel, garland and ornaments.
You may need to find decorations that hang flush against the wall if you have nowhere else to put them. Wreaths are very pretty for Christmas. Place several on the walls for an elegant, space-saving decoration.
You can also simply hang posters on the wall. You can buy many decorations at party supply stores such as Party City that say “Happy Holidays” and other holiday greetings. These posters can be big and bright but not overwhelming. According to Style at Home, wall decals provide another option for decorating the walls of a small space.
Another idea is to turn your existing wall hangings into holiday decorations. If you have pictures you can tape holiday wrapping paper over them so that they look like presents. It does not take too much time, but can be an attractive and inexpensive way to decorate a small area.
If you do not have a lot of room to place big decorations on the floor, then why not decorate the floor itself? You can buy a Christmas rug to place on the floor. The entire room may look decorated, but it may not take up any noticeable room at all.
You can use color to decorate for the holidays without adding a lot. For instance, if you are decorating a small dining room, you can purchase a red and green tablecloth for Christmas. They make holiday versions of a lot of common items such as tissue boxes.
If you have windows you can decorate those for the holiday. Buy washable window paint and draw snowmen, candy canes and other holiday motifs.
If you celebrate Hanukkah, you can still decorate in a small area. Buy a small mini menorah. You can put up silver and blue streamers. They sell many different types of small dreidels, which you can use around your small space at a decoration. Use blue pipe cleaners to make small Jewish stars and hang those up.
Even small spaces can be made festive for the holidays. Try the above techniques to turn your space into a winter wonderland.
