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

This adorable little gingerbread house from the Target Dollar Spot is the perfect addition in my kitchen canister snowglobes

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

I’m trying really hard to be intentional this holiday season. Intentional with my time as well as being intentional with what I keep in my home. As a result, I’ve given a lot of my Christmas decor away this year. This simplicity is what I’m craving. . I’ll likely be a little MIA this holiday season. But before I go missing, I’ll be sharing a little thrifted Christmas inspiration on Tuesday (12.3) with a few fabulous ladies. Be sure to check them out so you don’t miss their DIY/Thrifting genius: . @brightgreendoor @chelsea.diehl @hprallandco @mystyledshelf @onthecornerofelm @thehousethatdiybuilt @wildhairhome @antiquushome @therainbowabode . #mystoryfilledhome #getmydecornoticed #littlebudgetbigstyle #ispyraddesign #storymesocial #mydecorvibe #thepottedplant #ourlayeredhome #thriftyview #hartleyhomies #itsprobablythrifted #thisthriftedspace #hunkerhome #thedelightofdecor #eclecticallyspeaking #thriftingwithmgc #mycrispcasa #christmasbathroom #currenthomeview #showemyourholiday

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

After 5 hours of sitting at my desk this morning I had a little walk in the garden and ended up making a little wreath! I love making something just to clear my head! So front door had a little festive update today with some greenery and this sparkly doormat too

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

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

Christmas village and some more twinkly lights added today

A post shared by Louise (@thevintageroom) on Nov 26, 2019 at 4:34am PST

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.

Published Design: Star Tribune

Designer Andrew Flesher created an open, airy feel in Minneapolis’ stately 510 Groveland building.

Andrew Flesher knows Minneapolis’ stately 510 Groveland building intimately. The designer has lived on the top and bottom floors of the classic former hotel, and decorated a half-dozen apartments in between. He long considered one particular unit the ugliest. And that’s the one he recommended that his dear friend, Anne Wethington, buy. Why? Financially, it was a good deal. “And I told her: ‘We can take anything and make it nice,’ ” Flesher says. First, they assessed the apartment, which had once been two hotel rooms. 

The entry was odd, with the main door opening directly into the living room. Classic moldings representative of the building’s 1927 heritage had been stripped from the walls. An original parquet floor was so beat up it seemed beyond repair. The paint was dingy, the light fixtures bleak.

As a fixer-upper, it seemed daunting, but Wethington had faith in her friend. “Andrew has an incredible sense of beauty and knows how to bring it alive in a space,” says Wethington, who leads global services for Atmosphere Commercial Interiors. “His taste is eclectic. He travels internationally and brings the rest of the world back to his projects.”

What Wethington wanted, as she downsized from a bigger unit in the building, was soothing personal and work space with objects she loved and plenty of light.

To achieve the vision, Flesher first brought in architect Klaus Freyinger, who also lives in the building and who suggested moving the door to create a proper foyer. Doing so allowed for an open passageway connecting the living room at one end to the bedroom at the opposite, pulling light throughout.

To regain the grandeur of the original unit, Wethington had wall and ceiling moldings custom-made from original samples. She commissioned architect Laurel Ulland to create radiator covers to mesh with the space. To blot out street noise, the team installed new soundproof windows. Then they got to work creating the environment Wethington and Flesher envisioned — bright and airy, mixing classic and modern, with lots of original art and charismatic antiques.

“One of our favorite things to do is go on Saturday morning run-arounds,” says Flesher, who splits his time between Minneapolis and New York City. Regular stops on these scouting forays here include H&B Gallery, Claire Steyaert Antiques and Circa Gallery. 

One morning, Flesher spotted what looked like a Dunbar cabinet in a dull wood finish at Steyaert’s. He saw its potential, lacquered it white and used tea paper, a gold leaf foil, on the doors. The dullish piece with good bones became the room’s bar and a focal point.

Flesher scours the internet in a similar fashion. Example: He found a 1948 Harold Brett portrait of a young, blond woman in a lovely blue dress on 1stdibs.com. Brett was compared to Norman Rockwell and, like him, illustrated Harper’s Weekly and other magazine covers. For fun, Flesher and Wethington gave the painting a back story and refer to her as “The Reluctant Debutante.”

But before adding art and antiques, Flesher created a neutral palette that Wethington can spark up or calm down as she chooses. For spring, she uses bright pillows, throws and flowers to add freshness and pops of color in harmony with the overall decor.

As she continues to refine her space, she relies on Flesher’s sensibility and knowledge. “He has educated me about the pieces we find. For him, it’s not just about procuring; it’s about listening to his clients’ taste and interests. He has helped me expand my own vision for my home and make it real.”

Luckily we could get matching materials in time! // We installed new floors, new cabinets and extended the crown moulding into this area from the kitchen and the rest of the formal rooms.

Right now I have an assistant running around a couple of big box stores pulling plants for tomorrow's location. It reminded me of this potting shed we built in the studio for an editorial. // The tile was flipped over to show the terracotta side. Old barn wood was used for the wall and @bakerfurniture rattan chair added polish to the scene. We featured @KellyWearstler fabric on the seat cushion. // I loved the greyhound so much I kept her and she's part of the permanent prop collection for studiobstyle. #greenhouse #potting #pottingshed #garden #editorial #creative #creativecontent #creativedirector #myokistyle #setdesign #sets #photography #studio #studiophotography #story #storytelling #plants #iloveplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsofinstagram #bstyle #bstyled #alwayscreating #plantsplantsplants #plantstagram #plantsarefriends #plantslover @_tnehottephoto_ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd_eYU6P0e1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We had to figure out that TV cavity back there with the brick and then the fireplace. It was sort of a jumbled mess. We faux finished the TV section to match the blue hues throughout the kitchen and dining room so we didn't bring in another color element. // The wood on the ceiling? It was there so it was left in place. Today, I would remove that and explore another option for the TV. Design is like that. Once you are done, it's just a matter of time before you see a possible update. // This was shot by @johnchristensonstudio when we were shooting for an #editorial cover.

We are in the process of designing a new kitchen and it reminded me of this simple farmhouse kitchen that we drew and then changed a few things. We painted the pillar blue and ran the flooring the other way. This was a test drawing for one of our interns and it helped so much to see the sizing of everything for ordering. // We added an industrial spin to this kitchen to balance out all the rectangles and black edges. Normally we carry upper cabinetry to the ceiling but it felt too heavy so we left it on the same plane as the windows. // We had space to tuck the refrigerator into the wall saving cabinetry cost. It also helped keep the room open and can be a great way to blend large appliances into the space. Make sure your type of refrigerator can be enclosed re: venting. #kitcheninspo #kitchendesign #contemporarykitchen #modernhome #modernkitchen #farmhousekitchen #beautifulkitchen #beautifulkitchens #kitcheninspiration #bstyle #bstyled #kitchen #kitchendesign #modernfarmhouse #navykitchen #customkitchen #customkitchendesign #instakitchen #interiordesigner#vibe #mood #interiors #studiobstyle #alwayscreating #farmhouse https://www.instagram.com/p/CbK08pzuUUE/?utm_medium=tumblr

How do you write about design when a war started yesterday? You speak of contrasts. You speak of divisions, of starkness and of hope. // Black and white will become the color scheme of 2000 teens and twenties. Were we reaching for a simple time when we were all living in farmhouses scratching out a living from the earth? Life is complicated so maybe this design period will be remembered as the respite from all the madness around us. // Some of our friends are in Kharkiv, Ukraine, huddled in their basements with their families and pets trying to stay alive today. Indeed we are living in a world of contrasts. If we can all take a moment and send a few prayers their way, perhaps our thread of hope will circle the globe to reach them. #kitcheninspo #kitchenremodel #kitchendesign #contemporarykitchen #modernhome #modernkitchen #waterfallcountertop #beautifulkitchen #beautifulkitchens #kitcheninspiration #bstyle #bstyled #kitchen #kitchendesign #modernkitchen #modernfarmhouse #blackandwhite #customkitchen #customkitchendesign #instakitchen #interiordesigner#vibe #mood #interiors #studiobstyle #alwayscreating @_tnehottephoto_ #farmhouse https://www.instagram.com/p/CaZ11Hyr3AN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Composition is everything. Ripped paper, a collection of pens and lots of red for Valentine's Day. Which pen would you choose to write your story? // I've been writing a lot lately. There are so many stories to tell. I founded a nonprofit to save several old growth forests, wetlands and a stream. That story feels like this ripped paper curving through all my creativity. // The other story I'm writing is from the late 70s. Coincidentally, I ended up searching the late 70s at the local library for records. So many Wayzata and Long Lake names came rushing back like Sweatt, Spenser, Mott, Fox, Schara, Herfurth that I became transfixed - literally transported in time. Who knew all of these bits and pieces would fall into place for such an important story.

It's snowing a lot today. More than 4 inches - maybe up to 8 inches. Just took a walk and the snow has already covered all the dirty trails and past footsteps into the woods.
