From DIY projects that add a personal touch to smart shopping strategies that will maximise your savings, we've got you covered.
How To Decorate Your Home for a Birthday
With a little imagination and careful planning, you can create a memorable birthday celebration at home without breaking the bank. Start by deciding on a focal point for your event, usually the living room, where you can set up a camera and get ready for that perfect Instagram-worthy backdrop. Put up some balloons, streamers and birthday banners and make your party the talk of the town!
Make a Focal Feature with Balloons
Creating your very own balloon arch or garland is a simple yet incredibly effective way to craft a captivating focal point for your party. This trending sensation is not only easy to make but also a cost-effective means of turning your space into a lively party haven.
The number of balloons required for your garland will vary based on your desired garland size. To create a 5ft feature garland, you will need approximately 50 balloons.
Follow these simple steps to create your very own balloon extravaganza:
1. To assemble a balloon garland, inflate a set of four colourful birthday balloons.
2. Secure two balloons together and repeat this process with the remaining balloons, resulting in two sets of two, for a total of four balloons. Then, twist these two sets together, allowing them to interlock and form the base of the arch.
3. Wrap a piece of string around the balloon knots and tie them together, securing the balloons in place.
4. Repeat the above steps until you have another set of four balloons and arrange them to create your desired pattern - whether it's a spiral or an assorted colour arrangement. Then, gently wrap the ribbon around them to secure them together, ensuring not to put excessive pressure on the balloons to avoid popping or deflation.
5. Repeat this process several times until you are satisfied with the size of your balloon feature.
6. Position your balloon feature securely and prepare to smile for the camera!
You can even explore various balloon styles, such as our metallic balloons for an elegant arch or our confetti balloons to enhance the overall aesthetics. It's the perfect opportunity to create a stunning feature wall for our day of party celebrations!
Utilise Banners and Garlands
Decorating your party with banners and garlands is an excellent way to maintain a budget-friendly atmosphere. Consider placing them strategically around your home to continuously emphasise the reason your guests are there to celebrate with you. You can also create an inviting atmosphere with simple decorations like a dazzling metallic gold-fringed curtain paired with our eye-catching metallic "Hip Hip Hooray" banners, suitable for any occasion! Don't forget to coordinate the garland and banner colours to harmonise with your party's theme.
