Christmas Decorating for Pocket-sized Spaces: Christmas at the Airbnb. Guests are coming for the holiday'due south, and here's a uncomplicated and easy fashion to add a little Christmas cheer & decorating for a minor space.

Happy Holiday'southward from all of us here in Fantabulosity world! I couldn't be more excited to prove you how we decorated for Christmas, at the Airbnb that I just revealed to you lot the other day!

Christmas Decorating for Pocket-sized Spaces

Every year, we host a Santa Party, where we invite all of our friends and their kiddos to come up over to our home, to sit on Santa's lap, and visit for a bit, during the blitz of the holiday season. (I don't know about you, but in our hometown, to sit down on Santa's lap, it takes a good couple of hours of standing in line to sit on the jolly ole guys lap. I'd much rather visit with friends for a couple of hours, than stand in a long line.)

This twelvemonth, we take guests coming from all over to attend the Santa political party, and help celebrate the holiday flavor with us, and so nosotros decided to give the Airbnb some holiday cheer, to brand their stay a little more than comfortable.

Since recently finishing the remodel of the Airbnb, that meant we needed all new Christmas decor for the pocket-sized space, and a shopping we went! (I can't wait to show you lot were we went to snag ALL of it.) But something I rapidly learned, was that decorating for a small space, was a bit different than shopping for our current home. So I want to pass along a few tips for decorating in a small-scale space, while I show you what all we picked up at one of my favorite stores!

Tip for Decorating in a Small-scale Space:

• Don't feel like yous have to decorate EVERYWHERE.

  Finding a small corner of the room, apartment, condo, or space, is actually all y'all need! You'd be amazed how much holiday cheer a decked out corner of the home tin bring to the unabridged space.

• Skinny tree.

  A skinny tree was my secret for this space. The last thing you need is a big ole tree hogging upwardly more room than it needs to. This is quite peradventure my favorite item to show you… Forth with everything else, we establish the PERFECT tree at Large Lots. Yes!! Big Lots. If you recall Part 15 of our Home Tour: The Living Area, I fell in dearest with Large Lots and all of the home furnishings that they have, and how affordable it actually was. We hit the jackpot this year when we establish the Winter Wonder Lane 7′ Whistler Pre-Lit Cashmere Artificial Christmas Tree. I can't explain how beautiful and cozy this tree looks, with the cashmere touch:

• Non-and then-existent presents.

  If you have little kiddos at habitation, it gets a little risky putting real-wrapped presents under the tree ahead of time. My kiddos always seem to rip them open when I'm non looking. Then for a while, I wouldn't put any gifts under the tree, and I really, really missed the homey wait of presents.
  So at habitation, I'll allow them help me wrap a few "empty" boxes, to put them nether the tree. This manner they know there's nothing in the boxes, and they're but for decorating. For the airbnb, I wanted to have "presents," under the tree every bit well, then we wrapped a few extra empty boxes, and it suddenly gave the corner a "homier," experience. Big Lots has the most adorable Christmas wrapping paper, tissue paper, and gift bags this year. I'1000 such a sucker for the holiday plaid and reds.

• Layer the decor.

  Using a vertical approach, to maximize the decor in a small space, decorate "upward." You'll meet how nosotros stacked the presents, and even added the cutest little sign to the top of the stack. I couldn't resist the little "Merry Christmas," chalkboard. If you've seen the chalkboard that I decorate for each vacation in my home, then you totally understand. But with this small space, I don't have the room to hang a large chalkboard. This was the perfect mode to incorporate the expect that I was going for, all while keeping it in the same corner of the room.

• Load up the tree.

  Ribbons, ornaments, tree skirt, tinsel, lights, and whatever tickles your fancy! Decorating the tree with all of your favorites, doesn't require a ton of space at all! So if y'all're more of a minimalist when information technology comes to Christmas decorating, or one who loves to become wild, decorating the tree won't take upwards much infinite at all! Forth with everything else, Big Lots surprised me with the cutest ornaments. Plaid snowmen, sleighs, reindeer, and and so much more than.

For the honey of all things plaid. If only I would have had this tree skirt last year during my Favorite Things Party. I kind of yanked this off of the Large Lots shelf the moment I found it. The faux fur, the red and black buffalo plaid… oh my goodness. Absolutely stinking adorable.

Think how I mentioned layering the decorating, and going vertical? I could have easily placed this pocket-size plaid Christmas tree along side the presents, but I had a modest coffee table staring at me that looked incredibly alone. So placing the pocket-sized tree on the center of the table, on a dish that was already in that location, helped decorate "upwards," and add a little holiday decor to the middle of the room.

There you lot accept it! The airbnb is all decked out and ready for Christmas guests! If you have a small space to decorate this flavour, endeavour starting in one corner. Yous may exist surprised that information technology'due south all you need!

A "Big" Big Lots Thank you

Likewise a big thank yous to Large Lots for helping us decorate our airbnb for holiday guests. As you tin can see, my cart was filled with a lot of beloved when I went in the other day! Their employees were so fun. We chit chatted about decorating for Christmas early, and how fun it was to starting time decorating a pocket-sized infinite from scratch.
