Here are 12 easy holiday decorating ideas for a small apartment!

1. Tartan Plaid Pillows 


The decor in this apartment is normally very neutral, so the infusion of holiday color is probably the single most impactful thing we could do to spice it up for the holidays. The red tartan pillow below works really well with the neutrals and yet is a bold seasonal cue.

2. Faux Pine Garland


With no mantel or even a sideboard to drape a garland over, we used the window sill to display this beautiful snowy garland. It lights up for evening and when placed on the wrap around sill, it envelopes the room in wintery goodness.

3. Bowl of Orbs and Pine Cones


Perhaps the easiest Christmas decor trick ever, a bowl full of glittered ornaments and natural pine cones can be added to even the tiniest room.

4. Faux Fur Throw 

Nothing says ‘cozy winter home’ quite like a faux fur throw. Who wouldn’t want to wrap up in one of these as the temperatures plunge, especially in an apartment without a fireplace?
