Even in a few square meters it is possible to insert highly effective decorations to make the Christmas atmosphere. Here are some ideas
Even if space does not abound in your home, do not worry, during the Christmas holidays it is possible to create ad hoc decorations to create the typical atmosphere in red and white colors. There are several ideas for optimizing the dimensions, for coloring elements that are usually not thought of, and above all without occupying meters or centimeters essential to the livability of the dwelling.
Here's how to prepare a small house for the arrival of Christmas.
Christmas tree
Christmas furniture par excellence, it cannot be missing in a house during the holidays. Let's forget about the idea of taking a two-meter-high fir tree, there are alternative solutions.
It is possible to take a small tree, placing it on a support such as a piece of furniture, a perch, perhaps in a corner area that does not clutter too much. If you do not have the opportunity to plant the tree after the holidays or to recycle it, it may be a good idea to take one made of non-organic material: it guarantees a good yield, is also available in very small sizes, it is more sustainable and reusable over the years.
But the tree can also be a decoration hanging on the wall or on the window panes. In this case it is necessary to have a surface near the decoration on which to arrange the unwrapped gifts

The Nativity
As in the case of the tree, we often have in mind monumental and very complex compositions for the nativity scene. Just think of the fantastic self-propelled nativity scenes that are often found in churches around Christmas. But even in private homes it is a tradition that grows every year with new pieces, occupying more and more space.
All this cannot be done in a small house, but it is still possible to set up a corner with the symbols of the nativity. If there is room for some ornaments, you can also make a mini nativity scene. And even in this case, a wall or hanging decoration can be evaluated. The result is however impressive.

The centerpiece
In every house, whatever its size, there is a table for dining. If it is not a table, it can be an island or a support surface with a seat. In any case, this is a piece of furniture that can be decorated without consuming additional living space. A centerpiece can decorate the floor for the whole holiday period. Here you can indulge yourself: the centerpiece can be handmade with wooden elements and other natural pieces such as pine cones and chestnuts, walnuts, pine needles. The candles give a final touch to create the atmosphere.
Use the spaces above
When preparing a small house for the arrival of Christmas, the first thing to do is to evaluate where it is possible to insert the decorative elements without upsetting the existing structure, since those who live in a few meters will have studied and optimized the use of every centimeter to daily life.
The upper part of the rooms is usually a space that offers opportunities for customization even in the strait. Decorating the ceiling, or hanging decorations on the chandeliers, guarantees a safe and creative effect.

Lights
If there is an element that does not take up space, it is light. This is why in preparing a small house for the arrival of Christmas, the decisive idea may be to give life to the Christmas atmosphere through plays of lights. The decorations hanging on the walls and on the ceiling can be animated by a carefully studied light source. A guaranteed effect without adding additional bulk.
Christmas decor
Another idea to give your home a dress suitable for Christmas is to replace the furnishings normally used during the year with elements in a Christmas theme. Some idea? Let's go back to the table, which can be set with red and green inserts, or to the sofa cushions, which can be lined for the occasion with motifs and colors related to the party. Not to mention the plants: a poinsettia immediately contributes to entering the mood. The windows are another piece of furniture ready to host garlands, small lights, red ribbons. With the double effect of being visible also from the outside.
Space for creativity, therefore, preparing a small house for the arrival of Christmas is possible, with simple but (this time yes) ideas of great impact.
