Excited to start decorating for the holidays but keen on saving space? Here are some tips that might help you out:
1) Put lights around your windows. Lights around your windows you will take up very minimal space, and it's also a nice way for others to see your decorations, since living in an apartment almost guarantees that you don't have a front yard to decorate.
2) Place small decorations directly on your windows. These could be peel-and-stick snowflake decals or ornaments hung from window sucker hooks. This will keep the decorations out of your way for the most part and make them visible to those outside of your apartment, as well.
3) Choose a small or tabletop Christmas tree. Don't let living in a small apartment stop you from getting a Christmas tree, just use a smaller tree, maybe even a potted rosemary "tree," and decorate it with fewer lights and ornaments so as not to overwhelm the tree.
4) Hang mistletoe in the doorways. This is another way to utilize the empty spaces in your apartment, such as windows, doors and doorways. Besides, a smaller apartment just means more opportunities for two people to be under the mistletoe at the same time.
5) Light Christmas-themed candles. Simply replace any candles you already have with candles in holiday colors and/or scents. They will give your apartment a festive smell and feel. You can even create the ambiance of a fireplace by grouping several candles together on your coffee table.
