If you’re too busy or financially strapped to go all-out on the holiday decor this year, don’t worry. Decorating doesn’t have to take days on end—or wreck your otherwise minimal holiday budget.
That’s why we rounded up a few easy (and cheap!) decor ideas from the experts, with one for each space in your house. They’re sure to help you ring in the season without breaking your budget—or eating up the whole weekend.
1. Spice globes in the kitchen
Tag me if you make some! I'd love to see yours! 
Have you picked up any holiday goodies in the #targetdollarspot this year? . . #targetstyle #target #dollarspot #bullseyeplayground #gingerbreadhouse #apothecaryjars #kitcheninspo #farmhousekitchen #decorinspo #igdecor #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #instadecor #dollarstore #dollartree #christmasdecor #christmaskitchen #snowglobe #diysnowglobe #diychristmas #targetfinds #christmasinspo #bhgcelebrate #bhgholiday
Have a few large spice jars lying around? Then why not pick up some tiny Christmas village accessories and turn them into your very own spice globes? Throw in a little cottage or pine tree (like we see in this post from @bentleyblonde), and your sugar or flour jar instantly becomes a kitchen-themed snow globe.
“This idea is so simple and can probably be re-created with items you already have around your house,” says Stephanie Purcell, interior designer and owner of Redesigned Classics. “These glass canisters can be filled with premade gingerbread cutouts, decorative ornaments, or small figurines to create a simple yet stunning scene!”
Running low on supplies? No problem! You can pick up a set of spice jars from Target, then finish off your spice globes with some mini bottlebrush trees from World Market.
2. Mirror sprig in the bathroom
Forget the expensive indoor wreaths this season, and opt instead for affordable little sprigs of fragrant pine. Steal a cutting from the Christmas tree, or ask your local florist for any leftovers from holiday arrangements. Then get to work adding a few red berries (like we see in this post from @antiquushome) or ornaments to complete the look.
“This is a wonderful idea for anywhere in the home where you have a framed mirror hanging, or a framed piece of artwork,” says Barbara Schmidt, designer and founder of Studiobstyle.
The best part about this idea? If you cut a piece of pine from your own garden, it doesn’t have to cost a thing.
3. Wintry flannel in the bedroom
You don’t need to go all-out in every room of your house to make it feel festive this holiday season. In fact, all you really need is a pop of color—or several colors. This is why we love the idea of using flannel patterns (like these ones in the home of @simple.joy.at.home) to transform any plain, white bed into a cozy winter hideout.
“Flannel is one of the best fabrics for trapping heat and keeping warm,” says Purcell. “So what better way to snuggle up and get close to your loved ones this season than with some cozy festive flannel!”
Pick up your very own set of inexpensive flannel sheets from Target.
4. Cheery doormat in your entryway

Your family and friends have to kick off their winter boots somewhere, so why not make it a memorable experience? Festive doormats have been a big seller this holiday season, and it’s an easy way to transform your otherwise plain foyer into something fun (just look at this post from @tiffyandflow).
“Seasonal doormats are a great way to greet your guests even before they enter your home,” Purcell says. “Most people have a festive wreath, but don’t forget to look down and add some holiday cheer to an otherwise overlooked area.”
Get a plain mat and transform it with silver spray paint, or opt for an already-made wintry welcome mat from Wayfair.
5. Thrifty pillow covers in the living room
… I found this years version of my mules in stock in all sizes! Be sure to size up at least 1/2 size! And I made sure to include several other leopard mules + loafers for you to shop!

Rather than spending oodles of money on every bit of holiday decor you can find this season, opt instead to reuse what you already have—like your favorite throw pillows. Pillow covers are a great way to save some money and tie even the most minimalist holiday decor together—as we can see from this post by @courtneerodgers.
“Throw pillows are my favorite way to decorate and transform a room,” Purcell says. “It’s so easy and affordable! You can completely change the look, color palette, and style simply by just switching out pillows.”
Grab a set of these holiday pillow covers from Amazon for a quick living room fix.
6. Magical mini village in the kids’ room
Forget the expensive Christmas village this winter, and opt instead for a Christmas scene the whole family can enjoy, like this one from @thevintageroom. You don’t have to spend tons of money to get adorable little wintry houses that line up perfectly on a shelf.
In fact, all you really need are a few wooden birdhouses, some paint, and bit of cotton snow. This DIY explains it better than we can, but you can have the Christmas village of your dreams and even put it in a place where the kids can enjoy it, too. Borrow a few of their toy cars to complete the look.
