Bow-tied oranges and 5 other budget-friendly decor ideas for your Christmas home
By decorating a little (or a lot), you’ll bring the loveliest celebration of the year a step closer. Check out these delightful and affordable ideas and make them part of your Christmas.
1. Tie ribbons on oranges
If you’re looking for a beautiful and budget-friendly decorating idea, you can tie ribbons on oranges. Are you familiar with pomanders? These clove-studded citrus fruits are also easy, lovely, and wonderfully fragrant holiday decorations. The decorations in the photo are from Bungalow’s Christmas collection.
Tip!
If you’re not yet ready to bring in the Christmas tree, hang the decorations on a ribbon and tie it to your window.
2. Set up a treat station and decorate your shelf
Create a treat station in the kitchen corner, where anyone can pop by for a snack whenever the mood strikes. A beautifully decorated treat table both looks and tastes wonderful. Don’t forget the shelf—tie ribbons along its edge, and showcase your prettiest holiday dishes. The products in the photo are from Hemtex’s Christmas collection.
3. Enhance the atmosphere with candles
There’s no better moodsetter than the glow of real flame. Candlelight adds a magical touch to any decor, not just at Christmas. However, it’s wise to opt for LED candles in your displays for fire safety reasons. The products in the photo are from Rusta.
Tip!
Hang an evergreen garland in the window frame and add some twinkle with string lights.
4. Dress up the table
Decorate the leg of a small side table with an evergreen garland or branches. Fasten them with zip ties or tape. You can’t escape trendy bows this Christmas! The adorable bow-shaped candleholder is available in Hemtex’s Christmas collection.
5. Embrace traditions
Nostalgic wood splint decorations delight anyone who loves tradition, and they fit in both minimalist and lavishly decorated homes. You can find affordable wood splint decorations at flea markets. The wood splint tree decorations in the photo come from Hyvän tuulen puoti.
6. A flurry of stars decorates the bookshelf
An ordinary bookshelf becomes magical with a few paper stars hung as decorations. Stick to a single color or mix your favorites. The paper stars in the picture are from Alde & Lind.
