Living Room Christmas Decor Ideas
Today, I’m thrilled to invite you into our home to share some Christmas living room decor ideas with you! I absolutely LOVE decorating for Christmas, and aways have fun switching up our decor each year. While there are never any hard and fast rules when it comes to Christmas decorating, I thought I would share some of my favorite ways to create a cozy and relaxing holiday living room.
Choose a color scheme.
Having a color scheme helps to give you a starting place for your holiday decor. This year, I decided to go with greens and whites and I love the cozy, relaxed vibe. I also added some metallic tones and champagne ribbon for some extra warmth.
Add cozy textures.
Layer on blankets and pillows in coordinating colors to create a cozy and relaxing space. Place extra blankets into a basket, drape them on a blanket ladder, or toss them over a chair or sofa.
Our new little kitten, Leo, enjoys the blankets too!
Dress up the tree.
Decorating the tree is always one of my favorite things to do! We actually have three trees in our home {we have another one in the bedroom and dining room that I’ll be showing you soon!} and I like to switch around the ornaments each year. I decorate quite early in the season, so I start off with the decorating and then we add our family decorations together as it gets closer to Christmas.
Usually I weave in wired ribbon on the tree, but this year I used this champagne colored satin ribbon and just tied it directly to the brnaches.. I really like the draping look of the ribbon – especially when the lights are on.
Bring in a little glam.
Add some sparkle with metallics, mercury glass, amber glass or other pretty items. I have been wanting to get some vintage brass bells for years now and can never seem to find them. These ones from Amazon are so pretty and reasonably priced.
I’ve also had these vintage style reindeer stocking hangers for years and they are one of my favorite Christmas pieces.
Adding ornaments to bowls or baskets is another easy way to bring in the glam. Add a few sprigs of greenery and some lights for an extra pretty touch.
Create a focal point with your mantel.
Create a Christmas Treat Cart.
For the past couple of years, I’ve put together a little Christmas treat/hot chocolate cart. It holds all of our favorite Christmas favorites and is perfect for Christmas movie nights. It has everything we need for making chocolate and holds Christmas cookies, chocolates and other treats. Bonus, that it can be rolled wherever we need it!
Add a touch of whimsy.
It’s always fun to add a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to your seasonal decor. I have a little collection of Christmas mice that I have displayed throughout the house.
I also love this cute little reindeer that hangs out with the presents under the tree.
Light it up.
Of course, the best part of any Christmas decor is the lights! I won’t say how long it took me to redo the lights on our tree this year, but I do think it was worth it in the end! I string our lights up and down each branch instead of just wrapping them around the tree and it creates such a pretty glow with lots of depth.
If only I could capture how pretty it is on camera – it just never looks the same as it does in real life. lol!
Well that wraps up our Christmas living room tour! I still have a lot more Christmas inspiration to share with you though so I hope you check back next week for the rest of the Christmas room tours. I still have our dining room…

I love your living room all dressed for Christmas, all the green is just gorgeous! Thank you for all of your tips and Leo is just adorable! XO Kristin
I love how festive and cozy your living room looks! Your tree is stunning and so is the rest of your tour. And hello little Leo, he is so cute!
Your decor is so pretty. I would like to know more about what you mean with the lighting on the tree. Can you do a video or explain more about the wrapping of branches. It looks so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Cute kitten too.
I’ll try to do a video and share it on social media. Basically I start at the stem of the tree with the lights, bring the string along the branch to the top and then string it back along the other side to the stem again. It definitely takes a little more time but I leave the lights on the tree between years so it lasts for a number of years.
Thank you for your reply. I look forward to watching your video. Again, your home is beautiful.
Jenn, I absolutely love your green and white color scheme but I have to say, little Leo steals the show!
I love the simplicity of the green and white. It is fresh and pretty and also soothing, I think. Happy Holidays-Diana
Hi Jenn!
Your home is so lovely! I love the white ornaments you used on your tree. And the sign above your fireplace is so cute. Love your hot coca cart – such a cute idea! I pinned your home to my christmas board. Love your ideas!!
xoxo
Can you share where you found your green plaid throw?
It was from HomeSense (or HomeGoods if you’re in the States). 🙂
I love your green and white Christmas decor. It’s so warm and welcoming. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas week!
