Creating a festive atmosphere with class is a challenge many homeowners face. A welcoming holiday atmosphere brings warmth and comfort to guests and helps them take in the Christmas season. Here are some of our best tips for decorating your living room for the holiday season.
Include comfortable pillows in soft finishes and oversized throw blankets to allow guests to curl up and stay warm as they wait for holiday dinner to be served. Coordinating holiday colors on these practical pieces repeats splashes of color throughout. Not only will this help everyone get comfortable in the space, it will also help guests enjoy their time. Large or small, any space can feel cozier with the right accessories.
Bringing these festive colors into your rooms will help set the holiday mood. Red and green are obvious choices, but explore different shades and tones of these colors, and you can create a unique effect that still evokes the traditional response from your guests. If you are tired of traditional colors, don’t be afraid to step out of your usual box, and try a color palette that is new and fresh to you. You can keep it low risk and use silver and gold, or you could really step out with pink and lime green. Have fun with it!
Precious metals are part of the holiday tradition, whether it’s the offerings that the three wise men brought to Baby Jesus, or the gold coins Jewish children play dreidel with as the Hanukkah approaches. Adding metallic touches to your living room helps to complement the other holiday colors in your decorating scheme. Metallic colors are the new neutrals, so you should feel free to sprinkle accents in silver, gold, copper and platinum on tabletops and on the walls, regardless of the dominant colors already in the room. Candles, throw pillows and sculptural art are all easy to add to your current living room and can easily be packed up or swapped out for non-holiday specific items when the holiday season is over.
