The holiday season is upon us, and it’s the perfect time to add festive flair to your apartment! But when space is tight, and time is short, decorating can feel like a daunting task. That’s why we’ve curated these simple, renter-friendly holiday decorating hacks.

These tips will help you infuse your home with holiday cheer without breaking the bank—or your lease.

1. Deck Out the Doorway

Make a grand entrance with a holiday-themed wreath or garland. Choose one with natural elements like pinecones, berries, and eucalyptus for a sophisticated touch. To avoid damaging the door, use adhesive hooks or over-the-door hangers.

2. Twinkle with String Lights

String lights are versatile and instantly cozy. Drape them across bookshelves, windows, or headboards for a magical glow. Opt for battery-powered lights to minimize cords and prevent electrical issues.

3. Mini Trees, Major Impact

If a full-sized tree isn’t feasible, small tabletop trees are a great alternative. Decorate them with mini ornaments or simple ribbons for a chic, space-saving solution.

4. Festive Tablescapes

Transform your dining table with seasonal flair. Use a runner, candles, and a mix of ornaments or pine branches to create a centerpiece. This doubles as decor and a conversation starter.

5. Holiday Aromas

Nothing says the holidays like the scent of cinnamon, pine, or peppermint. Use scented candles, essential oil diffusers, or stovetop potpourri to create an inviting atmosphere.

6. Creative Window Displays

Windows offer prime real estate for decorations. Hang ornaments, stars, or paper snowflakes using clear fishing line to make them look like they’re floating.

7. Adorn Everyday Items

Incorporate holiday decor into items you already use. Wrap throw pillows with ribbons to mimic gifts or add festive covers. Swap kitchen towels for ones with seasonal patterns.

8. Use Nature’s Bounty

Natural elements like pine branches, cranberries, or oranges can be arranged in bowls or vases for a rustic, seasonal touch.

9. Create a Cozy Corner

Dedicate a corner of your living room to holiday cheer. Add a plush blanket, some festive throw pillows, and a small tree or candles to craft a wintery nook perfect for unwinding.
