Transforming your living room for the holidays is fun and exciting! Everyone enjoys a room that communicates the holiday spirit. Here are a few holiday decor tips to make it easier.
Swapping pillows and throw blankets will make a large impact in your space. Find pillows and throws in the accent colors of your Christmas decor. Layering will also help to bring in depth and textures. Use patterns like plaids and even wording to provide some pops of holiday spirit around the room.
Changing out rugs can be challenging in some areas, so simply layering a few animal hides over existing rugs will warm up a space and create a cozy feel. Where rugs are easy to change, like the entry and runners, bring in rugs that accent your holiday decor. Don’t be afraid to step out and use some colors and patterns that may seem “over the top.” Remember, Christmas is a great time to try things that normally you’d be afraid to do.
The tabletop is a critical part of decorating for the holidays. It consists of runners, tablecloths, holiday floral arrangements, dishware, candles and lanterns. Use tabletop on cocktail tables and dining tables. A festive table runner with lit candles will set a beautiful tone in your dining room.
Keep charger plates at each place setting at all times. They are both functional and attractive. Often, gold or silver work well for Christmas. Layering again is often used for tablecloths and runners. The ambiance of lanterns on mantles and hearths, tables or shelving units will create a cozy warm feeling people enjoy for the holidays.
