Christmas Decor Ideas for Every Room

Happy,Holidays,Text,With,Christmas,Evergreen,Branches,And,Berries,In

Christmas is an exciting season, and we enjoy decorating our apartments in preparation. The most common decoration is the Christmas tree, but it’s also good to add a bit of Christmas cheer to every room. Apartment living at The Lodges at Lake Salish offers a great opportunity to creatively incorporate apartment-friendly Christmas decor in your rooms and fill your apartment with the Christmas spirit.

Designing With a Festive Eye

When incorporating Christmas apartment trends into your living space, it’s essential to incorporate temporary adjustments. Make your apartment feel Christmassy by dressing your windows with fresh greenery or faux. Twinkly lights are among the Christmas apartment staples you can add to the greenery. You can obtain all the decorative elements from a local shopping center.

Share the Christmas love by hanging a mistletoe on your door frame. Although some guests may prefer a hug or air kiss, hanging a mistletoe, even just for show, can help spice up your living room’s ambiance. The plant has been used since the 18th century to signify love and good health.

The Perfect Setup for Your Aesthetic & Vibe

Decorating the Christmas tree branches makes it look appealing, but what about the areas in your house? You can hang ornaments anywhere in your house, starting with the doorways, lighting fixtures, and the key rack. Use pretty ribbons to tie up the ornaments instead of metal hooks. To make your bedroom look more festive, hang a wreath on your mirror. Use a ribbon to slip it over the top frame, and a trio of wreaths would look festive if you’re using a full mirror.

Creative Christmas preparation ideas

We must evoke the season’s spirit in our apartments to fully enjoy Christmas. We can achieve this by tweaking apartment trends and apartment-friendly decor ideas. Additionally, we should include our kids in the fun to help add excitement to their Christmas celebrations.

Celebrate the Holidays in 2020

The holiday season is going to be fantastic in 2020, if a little different.

Check out these can’t miss ideas to make the holiday season a hit in 2020. Celebrate the holidays at the Lodges at Lake Salish.

How to Decorate Your Apartment for the Holidays

There are so many ways to get your apartment ready for holidays. We all know it’s important to make a good first impression. Most of us will keep party goers at a safe distance this year. Start with a theme. First, choose a color to get everyone in the mood for the holiday season. While red and green are some favorite traditional colors, other festive colors include gold and silver. This year, bright colors like purple, teal, white, and blue are also going to be very popular. Next, add in some holiday icons like snowmen, snowflakes, elves, or stars. Finally, keep in mind the atmosphere you have in mind. Make sure to choose minimalistic elements for your casual, formal, elegant, or even rustic themes. Make sure that you don’t forget the lights! 

How to get into the Holiday Spirit

For many of us, celebrating the holidays this year will probably have to be done at home. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to get into the holiday spirit at home. Start setting the mood by baking or joining a cookie exchange. Make sure to have some seasonal comforts around your apartment like apple cider or hot chocolate. Music is a great way to get into any mood, so play some holiday favorites (Alexa and Apple both have fantastic holiday playlists). Gather with your family, in a safe way of course, to watch favorite movies or TV shows. And, as always, the best way to get into the spirit is to give back. Sadly, we all know that this year has more need than ever. 

Holiday Events Near Your Apartment

What is the season without shopping? Most shopping will be done online this year and you have more options than ever. Sometimes, you need to actually get out and look for yourself. Plus, most of the malls will be sure to have some safe and fun things to do. If you need to find that last minute gift, pick up wine or a dessert for a dinner party. Need to get out? Visit Columbia Gorge Outlets or Wood Village Town Center, which are open and can provide some holiday cheer. 

Social distancing will definitely make the holiday season different this year, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun and safe for everyone. Curbside and at-home delivery make it easier than ever to get the decorations, supplies, food, or gifts that you need to make the season a hit. Don’t be afraid to get creative with some seasonal inspiring at-home celebration ideas.
