Simple and Low-Budget Office Christmas Decoration Ideas

Can you hear the jingle bells ringing? Christmas is here! Decorating the office during the jolly season can improve the mood and everyone’s spirit. As we are slowly going back to the office, a little touch here and there will be helpful to break the ice after working remotely for such a long time. If not all of your team members celebrate Christmas, you can bring the festivity by yourself or collectively. Although involving more people will be the merrier option, even if you are only doing it within the space of your cubicle, remember that it is the spirit that matters!

Today, Talentvis will share some fun, budget-friendly Christmas office decorations. What you can do next is to bring these wonderful ideas into fruition!

Complete office makeover

An office or department makeover obviously needs a collective work. In fact, you do not need to do much to see the changes. By following these steps, you can do simple things that require only minimum effort without having to compromise the holiday season vibe you aim for.

Set on a theme color

Christmas is not all about red and green! If you are looking for a different feel than the traditional Christmas nuances, then avoid being too cliche. You can choose a more natural color like white and sky blue as your winter wonderland’s theme colors. Perhaps, you ought to also consider your department’s situation. Are the walls painted in light colors or are they bright and fluorescent? Taking into account these things will save you a lot of money. Make sure you choose the right color because you do not want to accidentally mismatch and ruin the vibe!

Make the best out of the people

Office makeovers do not equal buying new decorations only to have them used once or twice before someone throws them away. Instead, try to make the best out of the most important when celebrating Christmas at the office; the people themselves!

Try setting up a professional dressing up “party” at your department. Follow the chosen theme color and ask everyone to show up at work wearing the dress code. Let’s say, you are choosing white and sky blue, then once everyone arrives your department floor will be on a full winter-esque display without spending a penny.

Recycle and reuse

It is crucial to not go overboard with your decoration. At the end of the day, the office is still a place where everyone needs to get their work done. That being said, that does not mean you cannot have fun with it. One of the ideas is to make paper Christmas trees with your office waste.

Paper Christmas tree

To create this, one only needs unused papers, a stick and a pair of scissors. In fact, just by looking at the picture, you probably have already figured out how to make it yourself. Basically you just need to cut down your unused papers into different sizes of rectangles and one star. After that, stick them into the wooden stick and put the star on the very top. Lo and behold, you have your own tiny little tree that is not only unique but also costs zero money and is environmentally friendly.

To wrap it up, just remember to not put much stress on planning these kinds of things. The idea of celebrating big holidays at the office is to share good memories with coworkers. Thus, you need to focus more on the process and your coworkers, rather than inanimate decorations which will soon be gone when the season is over. Merry Christmas everyone!
