Let’s begin with;

Entrance: Entryway, Hallway, Doorway

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a front yard or a grand entryway, you might still have either of the three, entryways, a hallway, or a doorway.

The entrance is the best place to start with your decorations, if you wish to spellbind your guests why not get them when they enter? The good thing about small areas is that even the tiniest of decorations can make a grand impact. Now keeping that in mind choose your decor. Here are some Christmas Home Decor Ideas for the entrance area.

Option 1: You can add a Christmas countdown calendar along with paper bags in white red and green filled with Christmas goodies in your entranceway. This will not only bring the feel of Christmas but seeing the countdown can also bring excitement, especially if you have children.

Option 2: If you have a hallway side table then add decor like candles, tiny paper stars, or a star string led lights. Led lights not only add warmth but also make the place look inviting. Led string lights in all shapes are easily available on Amazon, they are low priced but have the impact of lifting the who mood of your space.

????Note: While doing the decor at the entrance make sure you leave some space for the guests to leave their bags, coats, or footwear. 

Main Room Christmas Home Decor Ideas

Your main hall or in the case of studio apartments, the hall is the main area for bringing your Christmas mood. Make sure you make the focal point in this room go to the main decor, ie, the Christmas tree. Choose a Christmas tree that goes with the size and width of your room.  A big Christmas tree in a small space will make the space look stuffed and less welcoming, not to mention your guests feeling suffocated.

????Tip: You can add more than one Christmas tree if you have the space for it. Especially in the hallway or the kid’s room. 

If you can’t afford an actual Christmas tree, you can go for various DIY Christmas tree options which you can customize according to your color theme. Here are some DIY Christmas tree options(1):

Trending Colour Themes For Christmas 2022

Classic Theme

If you want to follow the classic themes then I suggest following the color theme of green, bright red, and gold. The whole idea of classic themes is to spread warmth, coziness, and nostalgia. You can elevate the theme by adding yellow lights around the room, the good old green Christmas tree, and wreaths. Decorate your tree with jingles, snowballs, miniatures of Santa, and fairies. Lar but not least, don’t forget to add the red and white socks over the fireplace.
