Hi all,
Any ideas for either DIY or store bought decorations for a sukkah? We usually do the typical tinsell-y decorations they sell in the stores..the chains and all that. But I would love to do something that's A)more elegant B) reusable and C)more unique
Any ideas/inspiration would be appreciated. Tried looking on pinterest, but couldn't find much.
TIA!

If you want a more sophisticated version of the usual seasonal decor, you can get very nice realistic fake fruit, vegetables and flowers/greenery from major craft stores. They typically have beautiful ready-made garlands which you can hang along upright or horizontal beams or poles. While they are not intended for outdoor use, with proper care they can last for years.
I have rarely seen truly elegant "sukkah posters," but you can make your own. Any kind of artwork can be laminated. Photos are great for this.
Depending on the size of your sukkah and the ages of your children, you can do interesting things with candles: floating, pillars or tea lights. Or, you could use electric tea lights to highlight your plants or other decor safely.
A decent tablecloth makes a big difference, whether wipe-clean (much more practical) or microfiber cloth (much more laundry). Set the table with china or "nice" disposables.
I hope this helps, and happy decorating!

I have seen gorgeous silk screened sukkah artwork. They do it on widow shade rollers. The works are truly stunning and priced commensurately. DH looked into them, and they are in the 5 figures.
They sell very elegant xmas decorations. Some are suitable for this purpose.

Grape garlands strung across the schach, flower pomanders, laminated copies of paintings as posters on the wall.

Be sure to look for coupons before you shop. The big craft chains routinely have coupons or sales, so don't be dismayed by the price tags. Also consider buying only a few high-quality items each year.

Elegant decor can be glass globes hanging from ceiling with flowers in them. These were very popular last year.

I bought a bunch of different types of fake greenery from Michaels. They came in chains and I strung it around in various patterns. I also took fake flowers, put 1 each into these plastic balls that cut in half and you can snap back into place. Hung those up dangling from the ceiling, looked like floating flowers. I also bought these flower balls, I think I stuck to 2 colors only. Succah looked like a garden! Best thing was that these are all reusable, I take it out the year after and use again!

Growing up we used an extra heavy duty (no disposable) clear tablecloth to draw a beautiful mosaic piece with black permanent marker then filled in all the parts with different colors like a stained glass mosaic. Really beautiful and still around for use decades later. We would tack down tinsel all the way around the huge 'poster'. It look up most of the main sukkah wall.

Go to Marshalls or TJMax and look for fancy curtains. My mother bought a heavy dark green one with long fringes that was to heavy and dark for the room it was meant for, but it adds a majestic feel to our sukkah and blocks bright morning light for those who sleep there.

Into the glasa hanging globes you can put orbees...looks very effective.
Also you can make yarn globes around a balloon. Only need yarn glue and balloons. Nice activity with the kids too!
