As the holiday season arrives, it comes with festive gatherings, glowing lights, and the joy of making your apartment feel warm and cozy. At The Delta, we know our residents love celebrating the winter season in style. There’s plenty of room inside your apartment to spread cheer, so here’s how to bring the holiday spirit home!
Create a Holiday Color Palette for Your Apartment at The Delta
Before you even unpack your ornaments, look around your apartment. Take a moment to choose a color scheme that complements your interior design. The Delta’s finishes make a perfect backdrop for almost any style. Pick two or three core colors and carry them through your chosen decorations for a coordinated, cohesive look. Think pillows, ribbons, wall hangings, and even gift wrap, as small details can make a big impact. You’re going to want the best decorated home in the neighborhood.
Apartment Holiday Decorating Ideas for Your Entryway and Living Room
Your entryway immediately sets the tone the moment you walk in. Use this area to hang a wreath and small arrangement of pine, eucalyptus, or even faux berries on a console table. Add a soft lamp or some battery-powered candles to create the warm welcome you want guests to feel when they enter.
In the living room, the tree is commonly the main attraction. If you have limited space, a smaller or slim tree works perfectly without overcrowding your furniture. Although the tree is center stage, you can layer in cozy textures like knit blankets, velvet ribbons, and soft lighting (lanterns, light strings, or more battery candles). Check out The Delta’s floorplans to plan out your holiday decorations.
Holiday Kitchen and Dining Room Decoration Ideas
The kitchen deserves its holiday moment, too. Kitchen decorations often look best when kept simple and functional. Add minimal enhancements to the room such as a bowl of ornaments, a vase of rosemary, or festive dish towels.
When it comes to the dining area, try to match the table runner with your chosen color palette, paired with napkins, place settings, or a touch of greenery. You can even create a simple centerpiece using a glass bowl and some ornaments, or cranberries. It is ideal for dining room decorations to be elegant, yet easy to move come dinner time.
Cozy Touches in the Bedroom for Your Downtown Apartment
An apartment bedroom can be the perfect space for soft, subtle additions, like a plaid or textured throw blanket, seasonal pillow covers, or fairy lights draped above the headboard. Swap out some photo frames with winter-themed prints, display a tabletop tree on your dresser, or simply bring in some faux greenery for a festive touch.
Even small details in the bathroom or hallway can make all the difference. Small additions like pine-scented soap can make it feel like the holidays. Don’t forget to take a break from decorating and check out winter activities in the area!
Smart Decorating Tips
Balance and safety are important when decorating an apartment. Choose decorations that suit your individual layout and avoid overcrowding surfaces or pathways. Don’t forget to look for multi-purpose pieces as well, such as foldable trees, storage boxes that double as decor, or items made from lightweight materials. Use LED lights, avoid overcrowding outlets, and ensure cords don’t block frequent walkways. Keeping things neat is key to making sure your space remains festive, yet functional. Many downtown shops in Elkhart have ideal decorative items.
