The Best Christmas Ideas for Your Home, Even for Small Spaces!

Are you already gazing longingly at the Christmas decorations in the stores? Can’t wait to decorate your home for the holidays? We’ve gathered the best ideas and tips below on how to wrap your home in the ultimate festive atmosphere—suitable for smaller spaces too!

1. Choose a Christmas color theme

Over the years, you’ve likely collected Christmas decorations in all sorts of different colors. Don’t try to use them all this Christmas—instead, pick a single color theme. This creates a sense of space and tranquility in your home, which is especially nice if your living space is on the smaller side.

You could choose one of the following color themes, for example:

• Classic red with gold

• Blue with silver

• Fresh white tones

• Earth tones (burgundy, brown, grey)

2. Opt for a non-traditional Christmas tree

Dreading falling pine needles, the smell of a real tree, or the unwanted bugs that come along with it? Go for a non-traditional Christmas tree this year!

There are super charming wooden Christmas trees, as well as options made of metal, cards, or even fabric! The main advantage is that they take up much less space, and they look remarkably unique, too. Check out here how you can build your own wooden Christmas tree.

3. Christmas decoration trends in 2016

We’ve spotted a few items in shop windows and at Christmas shows that are completely in style this year:

• The cloche (glass display dome): It was gone for a few years, but now it’s fully back! Great when styled with mini Christmas trees, little reindeer, or tiny houses. For the ultimate festive feel, place them on a bed of fake snow.

• Critters and animals: Owls have been trendy in jewelry for a while now, and you see them everywhere in Christmas displays! They are fun to place in the tree, above the mantelpiece, or just as a standalone decor piece. You’ll also see plenty of miniature deer and hedgehogs.

• Canvas prints with built-in lights: You see these all over the place now! They come with flickering lights, a warm glow, or a crisp white light. The lights really bring the canvases to life

4. A temporary chandelier and fireplace for the holidays

Want to extend that ultimate Christmas atmosphere throughout your entire home and not just in your accessories? Go for a stunning chandelier and a cozy fireplace! They might temporarily take up a bit more room, but they look absolutely fantastic. Once the holidays are over, you can simply pack them away until next year.

5. How to keep your presents hidden?

We’ve all been there: you bought everyone’s gifts way in advance, but now you have to keep them a secret! Naturally, you don’t want the kids or your partner finding their presents early. Something we often see is people renting our smallest storage unit for two weeks to a month. This is a secure, climate-controlled 1 m³ space, much like a safe deposit box. It can fit the equivalent of 20 full moving boxes, which should be more than enough space for all your gifts! That way, you prevent anyone from discovering their surprises too early.

Once the holidays are over and the gifts have been given, you can use the space to store your Christmas decorations! After all, you won’t need your festive decor or artificial tree for a long time. This keeps them from cluttering up your attic or garage, which is especially handy if you live in a smaller space!
