If you're looking for inspiration to create a truly enchanting space, here are The Home Company's top beautiful Christmas decorated living room ideas to bring holiday magic into your home.
1. The Classic Red and Green Revival
You can never go wrong with tradition. Focus on rich reds and deep forest greens.
Top Tips:
-
Mantle: Drape a thick pine garland adorned with red berries and bow accents.
- For the Christmas Tree: Use classic glass ornaments, strung popcorn/cranberry garlands, and a gold star topper.
What we love: Cosy Throw - Aubergine
2. Winter Wonderland (Icy Blue & Silver)
Embrace a shimmering, frosty look that mimics a fresh blanket of snow. This is a sophisticated take on Christmas living rooms.
Top Tips:
- Lighting: Use cool-toned LED lights for a bright, frosty glow.
- Accents: Place large mercury glass candle holders and sprinkle artificial snow on side tables.
- For The Christmas Tree: Opt for flocked (snow-dusted) branches. Decorate with silver and icy blue ornaments, white lights, and perhaps some acrylic icicles.
3. Rustic Farmhouse Charm
Warm woods, natural textures, and a cosy, slightly vintage feel.
Top Tips:
-
Materials: Incorporate burlap ribbons, wooden signs, and galvanized metal accents.
-
Stockings: Choose simple, knitted wool or cable-knit stockings hung with large wooden clothes pins.
-
Centrepiece: Fill a wooden bowl with pinecones, cinnamon sticks, and small brass bells.
4. Minimalist Scandinavian (Hygge)
This style focuses on simplicity, natural elements, and ultimate cosiness (Hygge).
Top Tips:
-
Colour Palette: Stick to white, cream, and natural wood tones. Very little bright colour.
-
Décor: Use simple paper stars, string lights, and small, live evergreen sprigs in glass jars.
-
Tree: A small, undecorated tabletop tree or one adorned only with warm white lights.
5. Jewel-Toned Opulence (Emerald, Sapphire, & Gold)
For a dramatic, luxurious space, move away from traditional colours and dive into rich jewel tones.
Top Tips:
-
Ornaments: Look for ornaments in deep emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple, all accented with gold glitter and trim.
-
Fabric: Use silk or satin ribbons on the tree and incorporate peacock feather accents.
-
Mantle: Use deep green velvet ribbon woven through a garland of dark, lush greenery.
6. Focus on the Fireplace Mantle
A well-decorated mantle can be the focal point, sometimes even more than the tree itself! Use different heights and textures: greenery on the top, candles on one side, and stockings on the other.
7. The Power of Plaid
Integrate plaid in unique ways beyond just throws. Try a plaid tree skirt, plaid ribbons on gift wrapping, or a plaid runner on a nearby console table.
8. Use Natural Elements
Gather pinecones, acorns, and evergreen cuttings from your yard or a local florist. Place them in vases, weave them into garlands, or use them as simple vase fillers. The scent of natural pine is an instant holiday mood-setter!
Remember, the best Christmas decorated living room ideas are those that reflect your personal style and create a cosy atmosphere for making memories. Whether you focus on a dramatic Jewel-Toned tree, layer up textures with The Power of Plaid, or simply enjoy the aroma of Natural Elements, your living room is ready to be transformed.
