Decorating for a small studio apartment can be tricky. You want to feel the holiday spirit but don’t want the space to feel cluttered.
Also, storage is limited in small studio apartments, so you don’t want anything that you don’t have room to put away during the off-season.
The minimal approach to holiday decor is the best way to achieve a festive, but clutter-free space.
Here are some holiday decor ideas for small apartments that will make your space feel like Christmas.

Holiday Decor Ideas
1. Use Fruit Bowls for a Pop of Color
Adding pops of red and green can make your space feel more festive. Consider putting out a festive holiday bowl with some red and/or green apples. You can store apples at room temperature for about a week.
2. Embrace Scented Candles
Scents can immediately transform your space into a winter wonderland. Candles can make your space smell really festive. Opt for scents like peppermint, fir, or cedarwood. You can also simmer a pot of water with oranges, cloves, and cinnamon sticks for a nice holiday scent.
3. Use Your Vertical Space
If you don’t have a lot of floor space, opt for hanging things on the wall. Garland, holiday banners, and lights can help you feel the holiday cheer. You can even put a Christmas tree on the wall!
4. Opt for a Mini Tree
Miniature trees are super cute. Especially small trees that can fit on a tabletop.
5. Add Texture
Comfy, cozy items immediately make spaces feel festive. Add a chunky throw blanket on your bed or a fuzzy blanket on your couch to make your space feel warm.
