Minimize holiday obligations and traditions that add stress so you can make time to fully enjoy the Christmas activities that bring you joy!ĭecorate with minimalist Christmas decor if it suits your style, or go all out while keeping the rest of your life minimalist. When it comes to minimimalist Christmas gifting, less is more!īut we know minimalism goes beyond stuff to include how we live our lives too. So rather than just add them, I take down the photo frames and put them in the Christmas boxes to stay there for the holiday season.Home » Holidays » Have Yourself a Minimalist Christmas Have Yourself a Minimalist ChristmasĪ minimalist Christmas is one where you choose the gifts and activities intentionally and in alignment with a minimalist lifestyle.Ĭhoosing fewer but more intentional gifts, simplifying your gift list, and wrapping gifts intentionally make each gift more meaningful to the recipient than a huge pile of gifts. On my piano I sit out some little elves that were my mom’s. That way it does’t get too crowded and cluttered. When you are putting a decoration on a surface, try moving the object that goes there out of the way for this season. This room has the full, cozy, Christmas glow. I take everything off the mantle and add my glass trees and garland. I add a few touches around my main level, but I focus on my living room. Choose a few focal points and concentrate on those areas. But they didn’t fit my house so I let them go.ĭon’t feel like you need to decorate every nook and cranny of your house. Some of the things I sold or donated were beautiful decorations. Sure, these 12 holiday chargers might be lovely on a large table set up for Christmas, but if it’s been years (or never) since you have used them. If neither of these are the case, they need to go in the donate or to sell box. Only decorate with pieces that mean something to you or they bring you joy looking at them. Whether you have your decorations up now or you are just going through the boxes in storage, you can take these steps. Now, let’s talk about a few steps we can take to minimize our Christmas decorations. Minimalism is about being intentional about the things you have in your home, no matter the particular style. Don’t think that because you are embracing minimalism that you are boxed in a decorating corner. I love ALL the glass and shiny ornaments on my tree. When I search “minimalist christmas” on Instagram or Pinterest, it’s not my tree that comes up on the screen.
I love it!Īnother note I want to add is this.
COZY MINIMALIST CHRISTMAS DECOR FULL
Is this something I really love or something I just want to use because I have it? I feel like it has taken me two full Christmases, but now I only have things up that I really enjoy looking at. As I put my decorations up I really thought about each thing. I took down some of the decorations and even sold some during that December.įast forward to the next year. As I felt the relief from minimizing, the Christmas “clutter” started closing in on me. I then began minimizing my cabinets in my kitchen and moved on to other areas. We were out of town, so as soon as I got home I went through the many things that were still in boxes that I had not used that year. During Thanksgiving, I had started a Facebook group with some friends you wanted to join me on my minimalism journey. Two years ago I began this journey when my house was already decorated. I don’t love my house feeling cluttered with all the decorations. What I don’t love? Carrying all the boxes down from the attic and then putting them back up a month later.
I love the traditions I have created with my family. I love that we find that extra time to be with family and friends. It’s that time of year to deck the halls! I love Christmas! I love the calm white lights that come from my Christmas tree and mantle in the evenings.
