How To Create a Beautiful Christmas: Holiday Living Room Ideas

Christmas is just one week away and most of you probably have your decorating completed. If not, you still have a little time to create a beautiful Christmas with today’s holiday living room ideas. And even if you thought you were done, you might just find bits of inspiration to add to your home.

A quick addition to a gorgeously decorated mantel is a few small presents placed on nearby shelves in the same color scheme. You can also toss a couple of holiday pillows on your couch for a bit of festive spirit and color.

 

Consider placing your tree in a new location if you haven’t set it up yet. Draw attention to an outdoor view by putting the Christmas tree near a window. It will look especially seasonal if it snows in time for Santa’s big day.

 

Why let the fireplace be the only location that features flickering flames? Add candles to the coffee table to enhance the cozy glow. Use hurricane lanterns to protect friends and family from flames. Place them on a serving tray with a few scattered pinecones to complete the vignette.

 

Create a white Christmas holiday living room by using a flocked tree in a white space. The look is frosty and elegant, especially when gold and white ornaments are used to decorate the tree. Make sure your wrapped presents echo the color of the ornaments for a coordinated scheme.

 

Here’s another beautiful living room with an equally amazing view. With ample seating and a wooden vaulted ceiling, this becomes a great space for entertaining. The whole family can fit comfortably. Add a couple furry pillows and throws onto the couches, along with a few candles on the table, and then let the tree take center stage.

 

If your holiday living room enjoys a view of the neighbor’s home decorated with lights, keep the curtains open to enjoy the outdoor scenery.

 

Maybe all your living room needs is a few pillows on the couch in holiday colors. Solids, buffalo checks, and stripes work beautifully together.

 

I love the cozy glow of lights and candles at night or even on gloomy days. There’s something magical about holiday lights in December. And who says presents should only be found under the tree? Stack a few near the fireplace for additional color.

 

Most stores are putting holiday decorations on sale right now, so it’s a great time to grab a few small tokens to create a pretty vignette on a table or shelf. Grab some evergreens and pinecones from outdoors to complete the look.

 

I hope you’re able to create moments of peace and quiet around the holiday season. It’s important to take a little “me time” to relax and destress. Whether that’s reading a book in a quiet corner, venturing outdoors for a walk, or soaking in a bubble bath – enjoy the solitude whenever and wherever you can.

 

I hope you enjoyed today’s collection of holiday living room ideas and walked away with some last minute inspiration for your home.
