25 Best Christmas Living Room Décor Ideas
1. Embrace the red and white color scheme!
Red and white go beautifully together, most especially when you’re going for a festive look. Invest in plaids and fluffy whites. Stripes and solid color patterns are a must too! Just take a look at this lovely red and white setting.
2. Red and white throw pillows
The holiday season can get cold and snuggling on the couch is a well loved activity. Create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort that doubles as a stunning décor accent by investing in color-coordinated pillows for your couch!
3. Decorate your mantle!
If you have a mantle in your living room, it’s always a fun idea to decorate it. The mantle can easily be neglected but let’s face it!
It wouldn’t be Christmas without it! Add in some Christmas socks, festive signs, boughs and ornaments to curate a truly amazing focal point.
4. Go for a magical winter wonderland
Christmas is such a magical time of the year with the endless sea of white just shimmering along the horizon, it can be tempting to bring it into your home.
Don’t be afraid to go for a winter wonderland theme! You can never go wrong with snow, silver and shimmery things. Create a fairytale fit for your wildest fantasies.
5. Blush and gold never gets old
Blush and gold are a timeless classic. You could opt for the sophisticated route and decorate your living room with white, gold and blush accents to truly embody an expensive Christmas.
Add in some flowers in a blush color, some bright white finery and a touch of gold to pull you through.
6. Set up a DIY holiday advent calendar feature
If you have some extra space on a small table, prop it up near a wall and create a truly magical countdown to Christmas right in your living room! This is a really fun idea to keep your holiday spirits up when it’s still a fair bit far away.
7. Install a stocking rack
Don’t have a mantle? No worries! Try your hand out at this adorable little rack for your stockings that you can either hang on the wall, place on a table or position near your tree. Keep the colors festive and tie these in to your theme easily.
8. Invest in little centerpieces
