Every home, big and small, deserves a touch of holiday magic this season. Whether your aesthetic is merry and bright or more of a muted winter wonderland, there's a way to incorporate it into your space. Get inspired with these easy holiday decorating tips for apartments!

Go Small for Big Holiday Vibes

Mini trees are a fun apartment solution for seasonal decor. Pick out your very own tree to occupy a desk or bookcase, deck the tiny branches in mini ornaments and lights, add fake snow, and put together a display worthy of Rockefeller Center. Accent banisters with garland to bring it all together. If you don't have banisters, use command strips to create a wall frame. Small details bring faerie-like wonder to any space.

Bring Festive Cheer Inside and Out

Many apartment residents only consider the inside of their space. Your front door can become a magical portal to a winter wonderland with a bit of creativity! Design a unique wreath for your door or roll wrapping paper across the frame to make a giant present. Add ethereal touches such as a lantern filled with ornaments or LED light strings. You can even include fresh pine boughs to capture the fresh scent of the season.

Pet-Friendly Holiday Decorating Ideas
