Maintain color continuity. This will prevent a cluttered, messy look. Consider confining yourself to a monochromatic color scheme such as gold or silver with just touches of the traditional red and green. Plan ahead before shopping for decorations and determine which color would best complement your small space. Once you've decided, stick with that color as much as possible.

Make room for a Christmas tree, a festive holiday essential. In a small space, identifying a usable area for a tree is often difficult. Consider rearranging furniture or placing a rarely used table or chair into a storage closet for the season in order to create a space for your tree. Not only are there small trees available, but now there are also tall, thin artificial trees that will take up minimal room but still provide a traditional appeal. Tabletop trees also are a good option. Once you have identified the spot and placed your small tree, don't skimp on the ornamental decoration of it. Just because a tree is small doesn't mean it has to be sparsely decorated. In fact, an overly decorated tiny tree creates a trendy, eclectic holiday style.

Create a beautiful display of the greeting cards you receive by tacking a length of fishing wire across an empty wall. Then hang the cards over the wire. Christmas cards are a touching reminder of friends and family. Not only will this display remind you of the warmth and love to be found during the holiday season, it also provides a stunning splash of color against a bare wall backdrop.

Create small touches of festivity throughout a room with the placement of tinsel. Place it on tabletops, in decorative containers or bowls, or even hang it from a lighting fixture. The tiny touch of metallic sparkle will lighten up any room and make the holidays a little brighter.
