Christmas Decor for a Small Apartment

Living in a small apartment doesn't offer many options for elaborate holiday decor. With a little ingenuity, however, I've created a lovely holiday-themed apartment. A miniature lighted Christmas tree carefully placed on my side table greets visitors as they enter my home. Making good use of my front room window, I have adorned it with decor, using tinsel and garland, as well as miniature stockings hung with suction cups. As a festive alternative, you might try hanging shiny ornaments on the window in much the same way. If your apartment is designed with a staircase, decorate the banister. Use garland, tinsel, holly or even holiday greeting cards. Finally, if your apartment is furnished with a fireplace, decorate the mantel. I've placed a two-foot tall animated and musical Santa on my mantel. I hope my blog gives you some fun decorating ideas for your small home.

Christmas Decor for a Small Apartment

Roll Out A Persian Rug And Give Your Home A Little Makeover Magic

by Luke Patterson

If you are looking for a fast and easy way to breathe a little life into any room of your home, a Persian rug can pack a powerful punch. Suitable for any room of the home, Persian rugs with their colorful fibers are a great choice for any decorating style due to their versatility. They can add needed color to a neutral decorating theme and can easily become the focal point of a room when used as the center of a furniture grouping.

Give definition to a small area

Persian rugs make it easy to define a specific space in a room or to draw attention to a treasured piece of furniture. For instance, maybe you want to arrange your living room furniture to create a square sitting area in the center of the room. Arranging the furniture around a Persian rug will help define the space and separate it from the rest of the room.

Perhaps you want to highlight an antique desk or accent chair you fell in love with at your local flea market. Placing the desk or chair on a Persian rug will draw attention to it and the design of the rug will further enhance the beauty of your desk or chair. 

Persian rugs are valuable and durable

Unlike many manufactured rugs, Persian-style rugs are hand-knotted, which makes them a durable and wise investment with lasting value. They may increase in value over time, which makes them a great legacy item to pass on to future generations. Since they are hand-knotted, no two authentic Persian rugs are the same and are works of art made unique by each craftsman.

Persian rugs add comfort to your home

Nobody likes cold floors, especially in the cooler months of the year. Persian rugs naturally warm up a home, not only by their appearance but also by providing an extra layer of insulation between your feet and the cold floor. Their rich colors and unique designs can make a room inviting and comforting.

If you are looking for a way to dress up your home without spending a fortune on new flooring or investing in a home makeover, the simple addition of a Persian rug can make a big difference. From the dining room to the bedroom, Persian rugs are a decorator's dream due to their natural beauty and colorful hues. Even a small Persian rug will get noticed and is sure to make an impact on your home's interior design style.
