Creative Christmas Decorative Ideas for Small Spaces

In this article, we present some ideas for decorating your home in small spaces where you wouldn't normally think you could put decorations.

Christmas tree made of lights and globes on the door

Here's a Christmas tree alternative for small spaces: If you're really pressed for space, why not decorate a door? Make sure you do this kind of decoration on a door that's always open, as these kinds of ornaments could fall off from the constant opening and closing of the door.

Decorative wall fir

Decorative Christmas tree made from pieces of wood: Find different sizes of pieces of wood of different sizes (as in the picture). Hammer small nails into the wood to attach various decorative objects, such as pine cones, globes or other small ornaments. Tip: For more effect, use silver or white decorative spray paint on the pine cones. Finish everything off with Christmas lights.

Christmas tree with light bulbs

Even simpler, just using light bulbs and a few globes, you can create a special effect without taking up any space.

Globe crown

In a house where you don't have free walls, take full advantage of furniture: Here's how an enormous garland of globes can find its place on a display case or hung in front of a window for a special decorative effect.

Golden Globes Crown

Take advantage of a mirror: Many small spaces use mirrors to make a room appear larger. During the holidays, any mirror can become a space to decorate. A wreath (or baubles) or a series of ornaments at the top of the mirror will reflect the holiday spirit in the room.

Decorative table tree

Here's a table decoration idea: Bring a touch of nature into your home decor by using dried branches found outside, then use garden pebbles to secure them in a flower pot. Decorate the "tree" with translucent ribbons and hang ornaments from its branches. The decorative "tree" can be as large as you want, so it can be adapted to the space.

Ornate railings

Decorate your stair railings: the railings in your house can also be part of your Christmas decor. Make a garland of twigs from different types of fir (thuja and silver fir look good together), then add a string of fabric flowers (these flowers are often found ready-cut in specialized stores), tie everything together with nylon string or a thicker thread, but be careful it must be thin so that it is not visible.

Decorative paper Christmas trees

Decorative Paper Trees for Side Tables: For those little tables in the corners or hallways of your home, you can make a little “forest of cheerful paper trees.” Each paper tree should have a colorful pattern and a star on top. You can create little surprises for your guests by hiding small bags of candy underneath them.

Wreath hanging on the shelf

Globes hanging on the shelf

Decorate your shelves: Again in a house where we don't have enough space we use furniture (shelves of any kind), even in the kitchen.

Decorative object to hang in the window

Even windows in a small space can be decorated for a special effect. This idea involves a picture frame painted in a cheerful shade, some baubles, and a ribbon.

Rosemary sprig wreath

Finally, here's a very simple wreath idea made from rosemary sprigs (you can choose any sprigs from your favorite fir essences).
