The Holiday of all holidays is just around the corner! Some of us had our Christmas boxes lined up and ready to go at midnight after Halloween, but for the rest of us waiting for Thanksgiving, a little busy, or mildly lazy, continue reading for some really fun, sustainable and budget-friendly Christmas decorations inspired by Elle Decor!
No mantel, no problem!
Hang your stockings on your walls instead! You can style them by hanging them vertically, or overlaping a few stockings together. If you don’t want to create extra holes in the walls, just remove current artwork and replace it with the stockings until the holidays are over. Best of all, you can spread every stocking you have collected throughout the years all over your home for added nostalgia!
Holiday Cards
Every year you receive countless cards from friends and family that get boxed up along with your holiday décor at the of the season…and then what do you do with them the following year? Well, bring them out! Select some of your favorites from the years past and display them on your bookshelves. Continue the theme of nostalgia throughout your home.
Sustainable Décor
Instead of buying new décor this year, see what nature has to offer.
Love the suggestion from my hometown of Sweden to take a simple tree branch, add a touch of greenery, hang it on a wall, and wrap DIY wreaths around the branch.
Festive Kitchen
Looking to jazz up your kitchen but don’t feel like spending even more money? Display your holiday dishware on shelves. Anything red, green or gold, bring it out to add a festive touch to your kitchen
Dress your Art
Drape garland across the top of your artwork throughout your home. Love the flow this creates throughout your home.
Christmas Minimalism
If your living room is neutral/all white and you want to bring cheer throughout the holidays, focus on adding lots of greenery for a winter wonderland look!
Candles
Create the perfect holiday glow, even with minimal decorations with candles! If safety is an issue, opt for flameless candles. Here is a great one from Amazon with a remote timer! Best of all, the texture feels like real wax and you can reuse them for any event throughout the year.
Add A Touch of Nature to your Gifts
Ditch the ribbon for a beautiful touch of greenery. If you want to create a more rustic look, ditch the colorful wrapping paper for brown kraft paper!
Presents Everywhere!
Line your staircase with presents or display them on shelves. If you’re worried about little rascals going into them, wrap empty shipping boxes instead for a faux present. Best of all, you can store and reuse the following year, or put them under your tree after Christmas if you’re the type to keep your tree up until the new year.
