What Is The Best Christmas Decoration For A Small House?

If you are decorating a small apartment's living room or house's living room for Christmas, choose wisely for the size of your Christmas tree, and follow all other tips listed below.

  • Small space, small decor, and do not cling to the idea of having a grand and gorgeous Christmas tree.
  • If your front door opens directly into the living room, choose a door wreath or another door ornament that prepares the guests for what they will find when they enter the room.
  • Make use of the minimalist decoration trend and keep your living room practical and in fashion.
  • Do not buy new things and go find space for them. Use what you have. 
  • Arrange a pretty garland around your living room's mirror! It can be green, it can have lights on it, it can mix colors.
  • Be eclectic. Everything that fits and matches is welcome.
  • Collect some branches of a pine tree and arrange them around the living room to be your ideal-sized Christmas tree.
  • Hang socks anywhere! Fireplace, bookcase, peg rail, or any available hook. 
  • Use pillow covers that are patterned with a Christmas motif.
  • Spread Christmas string lights all around.
  • Hang around paper garlands in the shape of Christmas symbols.
  • If you have a fireplace, set some ornaments on the mantle. Mix some Christmas decorations with candles and family pictures. 
  • Use the ceiling to hang small ornaments, mistletoe bouquets, Santas, garlands, and anything else you feel like.

There is no need to give up Christmas decoration items you like just because your living room is not that big! And the best part is that you will not spend that much money. Hãn?! Even with the Christmas tree itself, that can be perfectly placed in your space with a little footwork here and there.

Where To Put A Christmas Tree In A Small Living Room?

A Christmas tree placement in a small living room depends on the size of the tree you choose. If you opt for a small tree – which is the best thing to do – try to set it on a coffee or corner table alongside other elements. If you don't, just be sure that your tree gets seen from most spots of the room.

Either way, you can also put it in another privileged corner of your living room to avoid clutter, or set it in a central position and arrange the whole small living room for the Christmas tree. It is up to you to choose if your tree will have a highlighted spot or a cozy, secondary one.
