Designing With a Festive Eye

Start by infusing your living room with the spirit of Christmas. Consider incorporating cozy throws and festive pillows in traditional reds and greens to instantly evoke a holiday atmosphere. Adorn your coffee table with a tasteful centerpiece featuring Christmas ornaments, candles, and a touch of greenery for that perfect seasonal touch.

In the kitchen, turn everyday items into Christmas apartment staples. Replace regular dish towels with holiday-themed ones and add a pop of color with red and green kitchen accessories. Create a charming display on your dining table with festive table runners, elegant candle-holders, and seasonal dinnerware to make your holiday meals even more special.

The Perfect Setup for Your Aesthetic and Vibe

Extend the festive cheer into your bedroom by investing in Christmas-themed bedding. Opt for cozy, winter-inspired duvet covers and decorative pillows that complement your existing color scheme. A miniature Christmas tree adorned with twinkling lights and miniature ornaments can bring a touch of holiday magic to your bedroom.

To give it a touch of New York, incorporate elements from local culture into your decor. If you're in a city known for its iconic landmarks, consider incorporating miniature replicas into your decor. For instance, you might include a small-scale Statue of Liberty or a model of the Empire State Building as part of your Christmas decor; the aim is to be creative.

Embrace apartment trends and make your bathroom a festive sanctuary with holiday-scented candles, Christmas-themed towels, and small decorative touches. By infusing each room with Christmas apartment staples, you can create a warm and welcoming holiday ambiance at 98th Avenue Apartments that reflects your unique style and personality.

The holiday season is going to be fantastic in 2020, if a little different. Sure, it’s 2020, so we need to social distance and wear masks to help us stay safe, but we can still have a healthy dose of holiday cheer. Check out these can’t miss ideas to make the holiday season a hit in 2020. 98th Avenue is the right place to celebrate. 

How to Decorate Your Apartment for the Holidays

There are so many ways to get your apartment ready for holidays. We all know it’s important to make a good first impression. Most of us will keep party goers at a safe distance this year. Start with a theme. First, choose a color to get everyone in the mood for the holiday season. While red and green are some favorite traditional colors, other festive colors include gold and silver. This year, bright colors like purple, teal, white, and blue are also going to be very popular. Next, add in some holiday icons like snowmen, snowflakes, elves, or stars. Finally, keep in mind the atmosphere you have in mind. Make sure to choose minimalistic elements for your casual, formal, elegant, or even rustic themes. Make sure that you don’t forget the lights! 

How to get into the Holiday Spirit

For many of us, celebrating the holidays this year will probably have to be done at home. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to get into the holiday spirit at home. Start setting the mood by baking or joining a cookie exchange. Make sure to have some seasonal comforts around your apartment like apple cider or hot chocolate. Music is a great way to get into any mood, so play some holiday favorites (Alexa and Apple both have fantastic holiday playlists). Gather with your family, in a safe way of course, to watch favorite movies or TV shows. And, as always, the best way to get into the spirit is to give back. Sadly, we all know that this year has more need than ever. 

Holiday Events Near Your Apartment

What is the season without shopping? Most shopping will be done online this year and you have more options than ever. Sometimes, you need to actually get out and look for yourself. Plus, most of the malls will be sure to have some safe and fun things to do. If you need to find that last minute gift, pick up wine or a dessert for a dinner party. Need to get out? Visit Canyon Park Place or Alderwood Mall, which are open and can provide some holiday cheer. 

Social distancing will definitely make the holiday season different this year, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun and safe for everyone. Curbside and at-home delivery make it easier than ever to get the decorations, supplies, food, or gifts that you need to make the season a hit. Don’t be afraid to get creative with some seasonal inspiring at-home celebration ideas.
