As a Woodstock renter, you may be wondering how to decorate your home for the holidays. Happily, there are several ideal measures to make renter-friendly Christmas décor. By following several easy tips, you can make your rental home a merry area that is ready to celebrate the holidays with those you care about most.
Part of the most iconic components of Christmas décor is the fireplace mantel hung with stockings. But if your rental house doesn’t have a fireplace or a mantel, you can still use these elements in your holiday decorating. Take into account renting a freestanding mantel from a local events company for a few weeks. Once laid up against a wall or in a corner of your home, you can then have it as a focal point for your holiday decorating.
If renting a mantel isn’t your first option, there are other creative ways to hang Christmas stockings in your home. To cite an instance, if you have a bookshelf in your living room, you could take advantage of weighted stocking hooks to lay Christmas stockings right along the front edge of a shelf. Also, try linking your Christmas stockings to the back of kitchen chairs with pretty ribbons for a more personalized approach. In this manner, they’ll cheer up your dining area and probably start a new holiday tradition. If chairs aren’t a choice, an additional option would be to hang stockings right on a wall using removable hooks. These hooks will hold your Christmas stockings securely but then come off after the holidays without damaging the paint. Finally, for the creative DIY-er, you could arrange a freestanding post with hooks that can be placed anywhere in your home.
Next to the mantel and stockings, the Christmas tree is a top décor item for numerous people. Irrespective of how large or small your rental home may be, there are many inventive ways to have a Christmas tree without all the high cost and mess of a live tree. If you need to have a tree, think about investing in a small imitation evergreen tree. These little trees regularly come with lights already installed and can be placed on a tabletop. Just put your favorite holiday ornaments and have a good time! On the flip side, if imitation greenery isn’t your actual favorite, think of using a houseplant as your Christmas tree alternatively! A big potted plant can be hung with fairy lights and small ornaments, creating a festive display that will live on after the holidays are over.
Flowers and fresh-cut greenery are also definitely finding options for renters who want to bring the sights and scents of the holidays into their home in a natural way. For instance, you can commonly see cut boughs of pine, cedar, or eucalyptus, all of which smell best and look lovely arranged on shelves, mantels, and in vases. You could even incorporate a small string of lights to set up and create an attractive glow to your arrangements. And bear in mind poinsettias and other colorful winter plants. Those beautiful red blooms can illuminate any corner of a room and evoke bright holiday memories all at the same time.
Also, when decorating for the holidays, exterior décor can be another excellent way to place a festive touch on your home. For charming, damage-free decorating, select really simple seasonal touches. A festive doormat, a beautiful wreath, and seasonal window clings can all convey warm holiday wishes to your friends and neighbors. To hang lights or garlands, opt for temporary hangers that you can just put up and then take out. Or, get ingenious with numerous shiny ornaments and fishing line. Dangle lively ornaments from the window or door frames, tree branches, or other exterior features to make a stunning winter display.
