Merry Christmas Mamas I have a special Christmas gift for you. First, I’ll let you in on a little secret.

This Christmas I am sharing with you how I decorated my home on a budget, no joke, this Mama loves to save money! Plus, I teamed up with my absolute favorite interior designer Marissa Herr of Herr Home Decor who has spilled all of her decorating tips and secrets just for you. We’re sharing how to spruce up for the Holidays, where to find our favorite pieces for less, and how to incorporate what you already have. Plus, are you ready? We collaborated to create the FREE Practical Home Decor Guide E-Book! So excited to share my first E-Book with you all, chock full of Marissa’s interior design secrets and how she helps me bring my home decor to life! Here we go.
Where To Begin
Sometimes Christmas decor can seem overwhelming, or out of order. To create a cohesive theme Interior Designer Marissa Herr recommends choosing one item that you can’t live without and letting that dictate the theme for your space. Perhaps you’re like me and have old nutcrackers you love or stockings that make your Christmas so special. This year I let my nutcrackers breathe color into the rest of the room, turning a classic into a modern. Their reds blacks and whites were just perfect for my theme and so simple to incorporate.
Arranging Your Pieces
I used to throw up my pieces wherever they would fit, or struggle with placement. I didn’t know how to use multiple items together to create that flowy look. Marissa explains her rule of threes and balancing out the weight for our eyes. If you look closely, I chose the believe sign as my focal point, bright and red as my main color. The complimenting and coordinating items fall to the side to weight the look on each end. My sections of three. In each section, I have three pieces. Ther white houses act as a neutral and the muted garland in the back acts as another neutral to tie it all together.
Where To Find Affordable Decor
I truly want to emphasize that decor doesn’t have to break the bank. This year I have found so many great pieces for less! The little white homes were just $3 a piece, along with the string lights at Target. Yay value aisle! I also found this precious garland at Target in the Magnolia Home section. Can we all pause and admire Joanna Gaines’ new home decor line? I could live in that section of Target. I’ll link each piece down below! Marissa Herr shares her Christmas Tablescape above- her centerpiece basket was a great find at TJ Maxx Home Goods! So before you think you’ll need to spend a ton, set your theme and head out for the hunt! Once you know what you’re looking for, you’ll be surprised to find so many steals.
