CHRISTMAS DECOR ON A BUDGET
Transform Your
Home with These Affordable Ideas
There’s nothing like the joy of decorating your home for Christmas. But decking the halls doesn’t have to break the bank! With a bit of creativity and some savvy shopping, you can create a festive atmosphere even on a tight budget. Here is a holiday ideas guide to affordable Christmas décor that will bring holiday cheer to every corner of your home.
1. Start with a Budget-Friendly Christmas Tree
The centerpiece of your holiday decor is, of course, the Christmas tree. You don’t need a real tree to make a statement. Artificial trees are not only reusable year after year but can also be affordable. Slim style or smaller scale artificial Christmas trees can cost less than $100.
2. Play with a Monochromatic Color Palate
Maximize your budget by buying in bulk! Visit Sacksteder’s Interiors’ booth to pick up some simple holiday greenery or holiday picks with berries and pinecones in all the same color, such as white or red, and place them inside planters or vases to create a dramatic look.
3. Festive Front Door and other Holiday Decor
Wreaths: If you don’t have a previously used wreath to upcycle, then grab a pool noodle and fasten it with strong tape or hot glue. If you want to spruce it up, add festive bits and bobs like ornaments and natural elements like pinecones, branches, and berries to add the holiday decor aesthetic.
Doormats: A holiday-themed doormat can add a cheerful touch. Adding felt fabric cut-
outs to your existing doormat will add a bit of Christmas spirit without buying anything new for the season. Visit the Fleurish Home booth to stock up these and more holiday décor items.
4. Cozy Indoor Budget Décor
Throw Pillows and Blankets: Swap out your regular throw pillows and blankets for festive ones. Adding one new and festive pillow from to your existing lineup of pillows will instantly change the vibe of the room. Opt for reds and greens to ensure your Christmas decor really pops.
Candles and Lanterns: Create a warm ambiance using lighting. LED candles are a safe and budget-friendly option. If traditional
candles are more you, opt for simple white candles so that you can reuse them throughout the year. A Chick with Wicks Candle Co. offers several holiday and year-round options! Wrapping Christmas-themed ribbons around a lantern base or candle holder will give your candles that festive feel.
5. Year-Round Seasonal Décor
Neutral Items: Invest in evergreen items such as white string lights, plain wreaths, and simple candle holders. These can be easily updated with seasonal touches throughout the year.
Interchangeable Accents: Use items like pillow covers, small decorative items, and seasonal flowers to switch up your decor for each season.
