How to decorate a Small Apartment or Town Home, Cheap and make it look MONEY! This set up was 2019 in a small townhome with no space for a tree , but this wall was empty!
Here are some tips:
1. You need a Tall Skinny Tree
2. Go to any Box Store the DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS bright and early. I got this beautiful one for $20.00, a few years ago I got a $400.00 pre-lit flocked huge tree for $10.00. U can 2.
3. Stick with a theme so it doesn't look too chaotic and blends with your other decor. Here I went with Red and Silver for them.
4. Stick with the theme don't go off grid with no map!
5. This tree was a bit sparce, I filled it with poinsettias Red & Silver, and other white and silver picks (small flower or foliage on a stick or wire). These were literally stuck in the tree and held in place naturally. Super easy.
6. They wanted the Gifted Snowman on top of the tree but it has no hole. I simply hung it from the ceiling over the tree so it looks like it was the tree topper.
7. To top it all off choose solid lighting. One color is less chaotic, and more cohesive. If you can afford it get yourself a long strand of lights, that change colors with a remote, as well as twinkle, blink or stay solid. They are an investment and can be used year after year.
8. You NEED a tree skirt, It can just be a tablecloth, sheet, blanket or cut fabric put nicely around your tree, just so it looks nice until you get you gift on.
9. Choose Gift wrap that matches your decor or your home around the tree.
These are the tips and tricks posh rich people, major hotels & organizations use.
Our first year of marriage, Most of our ornaments, garland, skirt, and Christmas decor was thrifted from various charity shops, garage & yard sales, and gifted from family members. I think we maybe spent $30.00 that whole year.
I used all of the techniques above and the kids thought that we had won the lottery! No Momma just knows how to shop responsibly! And so can you
