In most homes, the living room is the focal point where everything happens. This also applies to the upcoming holidays. It is the place where the Christmas tree is decorated, where we socialize with family and friends, where the presents are unwrapped, and where we watch the favorite Christmas movies or play games for hours. It is therefore important that the living room is festively decorated to ensure the ultimate Christmas atmosphere, where you can fully enjoy the festive days that unfortunately fly by. We have therefore listed 5 tips for decorating the living room in a festive way.
1. The festival of lights
Christmas is also known as the festival of lights. In an often dark world, Jesus called himself the light of the world. That is why the shops, streets and houses are decorated with a lot of light during this festive month. Be sure to add more light to the living room in addition to the illuminated Christmas tree. Think of a plateau with candles, a garland with lights in front of the windows or buy some extra lamps.
2. Go for festive decoration
To bring the festive feeling into your home even more, it is important to play with decoration. You can think of a Christmas piece or a beautiful bunch of flowers on the table, a Christmas wreath on the door, or add special home accessories to your interior. It is also nice to fill a vase with Christmas balls and/or a string of lights.
3. Make your house smell like Christmas
Scent immediately provides extra comfort in the house. Set potpourri, scented oil warmers, or scented candles in seasonal scents such as pine, cranberry, or cinnamon on the table. Or fill a bowl with fragrant pinecones on a side table for a subtle scent.
4. Play with color
Although the classic red-green theme has always dominated living rooms during Christmas, it is better to opt for a modern atmosphere. Black, white, gold and silver go well with various contemporary interiors, and are very stylish. And with a lot of color in the Christmas tree, you ensure that the focus is placed on it.
5. Add warm elements
To make the living room as warm and comfortable as possible, place Christmas themed cushions in soft fabrics on the sofas and chairs. Use large, solid-colored pillows as a backdrop for smaller decorated pillows. In addition, lovely soft blankets are a must. You can mix and match with beautiful colors and patterns to create the right look.
