Christmas Decorating Made Easy On A Small Budget

By Seraphina Amelia Dornan

Christmas should be a time of joy, great food, fantastic entertainment, and quality time with the people we love. Unfortunately people tend to spend more time worrying about correct decorations, proper appearance, and getting everything just right for the Holidays. This causes stress, and unwarranted time and money spent doing things the hard way. Why not de-stress the Holidays and do things the easy way this year? Its not a complicated thing, decorating your home using easy and simple methods that will give you the beautiful home you want, and the quality time you need with your family and friends.

Use Ready Made Decorations

The quality of ready made decorations is a wonderful way to create a wonderful Christmas theme, and save time, money, and effort. Many decorating stores and large home supply stores now offer entire kits filled with everything you need for a dcor theme in one or a few boxes. Complete with bows, wire ribbon, and ornaments in matching colors, ready to place in your home. For a traditional color themed Christmas you can pick up a box filled with beautiful red and green items that can provide the perfect accents for your home without running all over town trying to find the perfect ornaments. Christmas is not about the perfect things, its about the smaller things being there as a backdrop to family and friends.

Small Accents Can Make the Difference

When you are decorating for the Holidays try to find accents that make a difference without requiring huge makeovers. Changing the daily look of a room with decorative slipcovers in hues of creams, ivories, and off whites can move you from Halloween through the New Year without having to be changed and make for easy cleanups after accidental spills. Simple ties of ribbons that match the Holiday can be easily changed for the next event. Finding textiles like rugs for sale, tabletop linens, and napkins in neutral hues can also be a way of saving money, and relieving the stress of the Holiday Season. Placing new area rugs in your home can let you create a new atmosphere without changing the normal feel of the room. Place a few pumpkins atop a red rug in the foyer for Halloween and for Thanksgiving fill a basket with beautiful autumn leaves to sit beside the pumpkins, and change to a small sleigh atop the same rug for Christmas.

You Do Not Have to Change the Look of Your Dinner Table for Each Holiday

When you use a neutral table cloth and cover it with a lace overlay you have set the perfect table underlay for your family and guest. No need to buy a different table top covers for every holiday. Placing beautiful natural autumn leaves between the lace and the solid color underlay, you have created a unique appearance your guest will appreciate for no cost. For Christmas place wide ribbons of reds, greens, golds or silver in two long lines down the length of your table for a clean looking decorative touch. If you can find large oval rugs on sale, buy them in coordinating colors and place new rugs beneath your table, and in front of your buffet, a small touch that can bring warmth and color to any dining room.

The number one cause of stress during the Holidays is spending money, followed by the time it takes to decorate your home, using these few decorating tips and others, you can de-stress the Holidays, spend less money, and spend more time doing the important things like, creating memories while you sit in front of a fire on a warm rug, and help your child make a popcorn garland, and a memory.
