The ho-ho-holidays are almost here! With less than one month until Thanksgiving and two months till Christmas, I’m guessing a lot of us are already excited about the festive season!
Who’s already prepared to decorate their home in the most festive-filled way ever? I know I am.
However, with the rising cost of living, we might have to tone down on the decorations a little. Here are our picks from IKEA for a warm Thanksgiving and Christmas living room decor, all under $100.
Take a look at the combinations of the festive items that you can decorate your home with this holiday season.
COMBO 1
Living room
According to Consumer Reports, most of the prices of Christmas trees are going up by 5%-15% compared to 2021. The Christmas tree that cost you around $80 last year would be close to $100 this year. Eep!
In order to save on that, your alternative is the LED artificial Christmas tree from the IKEA holiday collection. You can use it again next year, next next year and next next next year…you get the idea.
Look at these simple but chic ornaments! They cost only $9.99 for a pack of 20.
Let’s not forget about the tree topper, shall we? The VINTERFINT Tree Topper comes in silver and gold, so make your pick on whichever that shines the brightest!
Total cost: $95.97
COMBO 2
Counters or tabletops
Looking for a smaller Christmas tree? This STRÅLA LED Christmas Tree fits just right on your counter or tabletop. Battery-operated lights means there’s no need to purchase lights separately to light this cutie up.
Now that the most important thing is in place, let’s build a little town using the IKEA VINTERFINT Winter Village decoration. It includes three houses, a skinny Christmas tree, reindeers and two townspeople (one of them could possibly be Santa).
To add more light and that homey feeling to the decoration, get this LED house-set decoration for $18.99.
Let this ice skater girl in a snow globe add more of a story to the winter village. Like, who is she and why is she in a snow globe and not on the outside? You could definitely create your own version of a Disney Christmas movie with this choice of placement. Every IKEA Christmas living room decor should come with its own story.
Total cost: $82.96
COMBO 3
Dining table
Hosting a Christmas dinner at your place? Aside from preparing great food, put in extra effort for the table decorations as well to captivate your guests.
The LED garland and white LED lanterns can be paired up for a delightful dinner.
Add a red table runner beneath for a pop of colour in this joyful season.
We’re not forgetting dinnerware for the table setup. Take a look at the Christmas-themed side plates and glass jars – too cute!
We’re also adding the VINTERFINT heart-patterned bottle and glasses to the winter table decorations. It just gives us so much of the mood and vibe!
Last but not least, we even added a pack of adorable Santa Claus paper napkins to this combo!
Now, that’s how you get your guests enchanted by a lovely Christmas dinner.
Total cost: $96.86
COMBO 4
Windowsill or counter next to window
Your neighbours don’t have to peek to see that your house is all ready for Christmas. Dress up the window area as part of your Christmas living room decor and let them know you’re all excited about the festival.
You could hang this LED wreath by the window as a sign of welcoming the season.
Arrange the candle holders in a way that allows them to overlap each other – one at the front, one half hidden behind.
Add this beautiful LED string light around the candle holders for that golden glow that would shine right out through the window.
Maybe we’re a little extra, but it’s going to make the window area look really good to you, and also your neighbours.
Total cost: $90.86
COMBO 5
Sofa seat
What other items could you add on top of having the warmest, snuggest sofa slipcover for a chilly winter? 😶🌫️ Another fluffy throw! Plus, one classic red, plaid throw for the season where red is its symbolic colour.
We’re so extra that we’ve decided to add one more red pillow to the mix just because it still fits into the budget.
Total cost: $98.97
