Holiday Decorating on a Budget

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

I love decorating my house for the holidays, but I try to keep my spending in check. These are my tips to keep me {and you} on a budget when decorating for the holidays. I hope y’all enjoy these tips and tricks for Holiday Decorating on a Budget.

 Holiday Decorating on a Budget

1. Pick one room or one location in your home that you will decorate.  Is that your family room? Your dining room with pretty centerpieces? Your fireplace with a beautiful mantle? Just pick one area and focus on that. Don’t feel like every inch of your home needs to be transformed for every holiday.

2. Shop off season.  Shop for Christmas decorations the week after Christmas…many stores reduce their prices by as much as 80-90%. This goes fore pretty much every holiday from New Year’s to Thanksgiving. Can’t wait until after the holiday, make sure to shop discount stores and always use a coupon.

3. Set the mood when people enter your own with a simple well placed front door wreath. No need to decorate the whole house for every single holiday when you put effort into the entrance of your home.

4. Repurpose thrift store finds.  Use holiday plates to create a wall collection, take apart wreaths and silk flower arrangements to create your own, use a bunch of colorful ornaments in a large vase as a centerpiece. Just think outside the box.

5. Make your own Christmas ornaments.  A couple bottles of acrylic paint, a couple dozen clear glass ornaments, and some ribbon. These hand crafted ornaments are a fraction of the cost. Squeeze a bit of color (or two or three) of the paint into each ornament and swirl until the whole thing is coated. Turn upside down to drain out the excess paint. Tie with a pretty ribbon.

    Great ideas. I also like using clear bowls or jars and filling them with water, cheap decorations like red balls and springs of greenery and a floating candle. Cheap but elegant

    This guide is great. I actually do some of the things on the list. I cut back decorating and only decorate certain areas of the house and i also check out the thrift store often.
