It’s that time of the year again—the one that brings out the nostalgic Mariah Carey in all of us. But we at Bored Panda want to bring out the penny-wise Santa in us and help you deck the walls without decking out your bank account. Because let’s admit it, nothing feels more joyful than making fantastic Christmas decor while saving a few bucks.

Before we jump into the fun part, let’s address the “not so bright” side of the holiday season that brings out the Grinch in all of us—the costs. Americans spend A LOT in December—about $1,000 every Christmas. Most of it is spent on gifts. Yet, most American families plan their purchases for the holiday season wisely. 

Instead of booming sales in December (12% do this), most prepare throughout the year. Finmasters states that 43% of Americans start shopping for Christmas at the end of October. Interestingly, 1% said they do their Christmas shopping in January. Now that’s fashionably late!

However, you don’t need to wait for January to start decorating or get the best deals on Christmas decor. As the Christmas spirit adorns December with joyful smiles, twinkling lights, and cinnamon-scented halls, it’s officially the month to sleigh and start prepping!

So, let’s jingle all the way to the perfect Christmas decor with our merry-making guide of 65 budget-friendly ideas. Don’t forget to upvote your favorites and add them to your basket before they sell out.

All the listed decorations range from $7 to $45 (in publishing time).

    Create a Kid-friendly Santa Corner

    Christmas decorations and toys near fireplace

    To create a festive Santa corner, designate a particular corner in your home, for example, in the living room. Hang red velvet curtains or a large Santa-themed wall decal as the focal point. Place a plush Santa Claus or a life-size Santa cutout in the corner to welcome guests. Add holiday accents like red and white striped pillows, a small Christmas tree, and reindeer wall stickers. To complete the look, hang a “Santa Stop Here” sign or a festive banner.

    FAQs

    How Do You Decorate Minimally for Christmas?

    A minimal Christmas decor is all about keeping things simple and elegant. Start by choosing a color scheme, such as white, silver, or red and green. Opt for a small tabletop Christmas tree adorned with carefully selected ornaments. Focus on adding greenery, like wreaths and garlands, in key areas of your home. Use fairy lights to add a touch of magic without dazzling the space. Remember, the key to minimal Christmas decor is to embrace simplicity and select only a few impactful pieces. This way, you can create a peaceful and uncluttered ambiance while still capturing the season’s festive spirit.

    What Are Popular Christmas Decor Colors?

    Popular Christmas decor colors vary yearly, but some timeless and well-loved choices include red, green, white (silver), and gold. These classic colors evoke a traditional Christmas atmosphere. Red signifies warmth and joy, while green represents the evergreen trees and symbolizes renewal. In recent years, there has been a trend towards neutral tones like white, silver, and natural wood accents for a modern and minimalist approach. However, choosing colors for your Christmas decor is a personal preference, so feel free to explore combinations that match your tastes and needs.

    Classic, minimalist, and sustainable Christmas decor with natural wood, dried flowers, and recycled ornaments will never go out of style.

Interior-wise, focus on a cohesive color scheme for your decorations. Add some sparkle with twinkling fairy lights indoors and outdoors to create a warm and magical ambiance. Use garlands and ornaments to dress up staircases, mantels, and windows. Don’t forget to add cozy elements like pillows, throws, and scented candles. Lastly, display cherished holiday souvenirs or craft ornaments yourself. The key is to have fun. Hence, let your creativity shine and fill your space with the joyful spirit of Christmas!
