The festive season is all about having a good time with your loved ones. This year, you can expect to be home for small and cozy celebrations with a limited number of guests. Also, you will probably have fewer party invitations because gatherings are likely to be smaller to curb the virus. Despite the stressful time, you would still want the best Christmas decor to keep the spirits up. At the same time, you would want to do it without burning a hole in your pocket. Thankfully, there are some budget festive decor ideas that you can use for warming up your living room. Let us share a few with you.

Start with what you have 

The best way to begin a Christmas makeover for your living room is by checking the stuff you already have at home. You will have something packed from the last year, so checking the boxes in the attic before you go shopping makes sense. You will probably find some hidden treasures that you can recycle and reuse this year. Moving around the furniture, adding some fairy lights, and putting up candles in the corner will add fresh festive vibes to the room.

Check a thrift store

Even as you recycle the old stuff, there will still be some items in your holiday decor wishlist. Checking out a thrift store is an excellent idea as you can buy more with less. Pick a cozy area rug to warm up the bare floor. Add comfort and color to the old sofa by throwing around some warm and colorful cushions. You can even buy a few small side tables to deck up with candles.

Create a warm corner with an electric fireplace

A fireplace is an element that adds warmth to a room, but don’t lament if you don’t have one in your living area. You can invest in a corner electric fireplace by Magikflame this season to get a finishing touch for the decor. It is easy to install and fits well in large and small spaces. You can complete the cozy corner look by placing some pretty decor elements besides the fireplace. 

Try some DIY papercraft

If you are serious about saving up on festive decor but want your place to look amazing, investing in DIY is the best approach. Try your hand at involving the entire family in making paper decorations this year. There is a lot you can create, from toppers to stars, wreaths and garlands, honeycomb balls, and more. The best part is that you can make it all from waste, so the decor fits well in the pocket. Since it is going to be a collective family effort, you will have one more reason to celebrate.

While you may have a tighter budget this Christmas, there isn’t a reason to miss out on the decor. Instead, you will have a lot more time to get creative and go the extra mile to make your place look more warm and beautiful than ever before.
