How to decorate your living room for Christmas

 

Your living room is typically the hub for all things Christmas when the celebrations are in full swing. Decorating for the festive season is likely to be at the top of your to-do list this month, and we're here to help you make your living room look truly magical this year.

Prepare to transform your home for Christmas so you and your family can get into the holiday spirit. In this article, we'll be providing our favourite Christmas living room ideas for homeowners to implement.

 

Sophisticated neutrals

Sparkling silvers and glittering golds are what Christmas is all about. They pair beautifully with an array of interior designs and décors. You can easily incorporate these into an existing neutral colour scheme to ensure your home aesthetic remains sophisticated, even during the chaos of the holidays. 

Consider swapping out your cushions and various accents around the living room to add a little shimmer. Display tea lights in gold jars and lay glistening fairy lights around your coffee table or mantelpiece. When it comes to the tree, choose one that boasts frosted branches and hang beautiful gold and silver baubles to tie the whole room together.

 

Use pops of colour

There's nothing wrong with going all out at Christmas – in fact, we celebrate all the weird and wonderful decorations that come with the festive period! There really is a theme for everyone –you don't just have to follow the crowd. While some may prefer a more subtle approach, others may use this time as an excuse to bring bold and bright Christmas living room ideas to life.

Why not make a statement by adding pops of colour? Perhaps you could choose lavish and vibrant tree decorations or extraordinary festive ornaments that scream Christmas! Whether you choose to inject a little colour to complement your current living room scheme or tear up all the rules and go wild with various shades and tones, we're here for it all!  

 

Deep, muted tones

We understand that bright colours can be a little overwhelming for some. So, consider keeping things muted by opting for burgundy or forest green Christmas home ideas if subtle is more your style.

Keep things elegant by incorporating these shades with your cushions, ornaments and table decorations. Don’t forget to tie in the rest of your living room furniture, including any bookshelves and the fireplace, to create a truly cohesive space that still celebrates the festivities.

 

Go rustic

It's no secret that country-style living rooms look stunning paired with a rustic Christmas theme. Traditional decorations will never go out of style and we believe they'll be used in and around the home for years to come.

Decorate using handwoven wicker tree skirts and beautiful glass baubles to achieve this gentle, luxe appearance. These elements will look fabulous alongside wooden fitted furniture too.

Style your storage solutions using foliage, pinecones, fairy lights and LED mini Christmas trees. You can also display your favourite festive candles here, producing a warming glow and comforting scent to make your living room feel extra cosy.

 

Choose all white

Create the ultimate winter wonderland in your living room by opting for an all-white theme. If you enjoy keeping things monotone and minimal, this is the theme for you.

White decorations and faux snow can make the room feel truly magical and are great if you have kids. Fluffy, soft furnishings like throws and cushions are perfect for making the room look comfortable and inviting while helping to add texture to the room. White can often make a room feel cold and flat if not used well, but adding these extra elements will enhance the interior.
