How to Decorate Your Home for Christmas on a Budget
Sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too. It’s Christmas time! A time to celebrate friends and family, reflect on the past year, and look ahead to the new one. It’s also a time to dress up and decorate to really get into the holiday spirit.
Seeing decorations peppered across the neighbourhood can really make you feel the magic of Christmas. Trees, tinypsel, stockings, lights, ornaments, the classics that get us in the festive spirit.
So, this Christmas The Warehouse wants to give you the gift of a beautifully decorated home for the holidays without breaking the bank. We’ll be giving you some tips and tricks that will turn your home into a Christmas wonderland without blowing out your budget.
Keep it (not) Real
The centrepiece of any home during Christmas is the Christmas tree. It’s where the lights are hung and where the presents sit. While nothing beats that sweet scent of pine, the truth is that the cost buying a Christmas tree that you will only use once can add up over the years.
An artificial Christmas tree is reusable, so you can use it year after year. They are also lightweight, easy to assemble, and can come with built-in lights to save you time decorating. Not to mention, they’re always hypoallergenic and you won’t have any messy cleanups of needles!
An artificial tree is a great investment for your home as it guarantees that you have one of the core aspects of Christmas decoration covered year after year for a one-time cost.
DIY (Decorate It Yourself)
One option for decorating on a budget is to break out the craft paper, scissors, and glue! Around your home is a treasure trove of Christmas decorations just waiting to be created. It can be as simple as cutting out paper gingerbread men or creating Christmas tree ornaments out of felt with glue.
This is a fun way to create Christmas decorations for cheap with the added benefit that they are personalised to you, since you created them! It’s also great fun to create Christmas decorations with your little ones, providing a fun activity for you and your kids to bond and make memories.
We stock a wide range of craft, party, & stationary products that can help you get the ball rolling on your DIY decoration adventure.
Throw Some Throws Around!
A quick and easy way to add some festive colour to your home are using throws and pillows. With some festive colours like gold, green, or red, they’re a great way to add some vibrancy to your home these holidays.
You can even opt to customise your throws and pillows with some spare fabric and a sewing kit. Or you can find a blanket with a lovely warm caramel pattern or a cool floral finish for a quick and easy way to add some colour to your decoration.
Another tip is to stick a bow on your pillows, transforming them into little presents! Just be sure to tell everyone they aren’t presents so they don’t tear into them to find their gift! Find some bright and colourful pillows at The Warehouse and get to decorating!
Wrap it up!
What’s one thing about Christmas everyone loves? Presents! Seeing a box wrapped up in wrapping paper with a neat bow on top undeniably invokes the festive spirit.
One quick and easy way you can spread festive cheer around your home is to get boxes of various sizes and wrap them up with wrapping paper and stick a nice bow on top and place them around your home.
These faux presents are the perfect decoration for countertops, tables, and even under the tree! Cardboard boxes and wrapping paper won’t break the bank and still provide you with some festive cheer to spread around your home.
