5 Easy Ways to Decorate Your Living Room for a Warm & Bright Holiday Style
From the cozy hearth to the Christmas tree, the living room is often the central focus for holiday decorating. But adding festive touches to the heart of your home doesn’t have to be a whole to-do. Here are five easy ways to deck the halls like a professional interior designer — and still have time to wrap some gifts.
Play Up Your Best Features
Before you start unboxing your Christmas decorations, take a look around your living room. From banisters to windowsills to mantels, the holidays are a time to celebrate your home’s best architectural moments. Draw the eyes to these key areas with fluffy garlands, twinkling fairy lights, and mini trees.
Find Inspiration in Nature
We often think of spring and summer as nature’s time to shine. But we’re all about bringing a touch of earthiness indoors for a warm and serene vibe. Choose frocked trees, wreaths, and garlands for a classic winter wonderland look; evergreen trees and pinecones for a rustic Christmas; or minimalist holly branches in vases for a contemporary aesthetic.
Layer Up in Coziness
More of a feeling than a look, it’s essential to create a warm and inviting environment in the lounging area. Make sure you layer in throw blankets and decorative pillows for sensory delight. To add more fleecy softness, cozy warmth, and covetable texture, consider adding in more touchable details like chunky knit stockings and velvet bows.
Add Some Sparkle
Warm and softly layered light is in year-round — so let’s add some twinkling Christmas lights. You can string fairy lights throughout your space, from doorways to the mantel to the Christmas tree. We also recommend adding candles, glittering metal candlesticks, and mirrors that can further enhance all this extra sparkle.
Get Nostalgic & Personal
The holidays are synonymous with nostalgia, from singing traditional carols to enjoying homecooked recipes that have been passed down for generations. Let’s translate this focus on family traditions to you living room decor, including vintage Christmas ornaments, heirloom nutcrackers and trinkets, handmade accessories, and framed family photos.
