It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and if you’re ready to give your living room a makeover, there are many Christmas living room ideas to consider.
Whether you’re working with a small space or a large one, there are budget-friendly ways to add a little holiday cheer to any living room.
1. Red and white Christmas living room
You can’t go wrong with a classic red and white Christmas color palette in the living room.
To get this look, add in red accents through your cushions, throws, and of course, Christmas decorations.
You can even switch out your artwork temporarily for something with a bit of festive red in it.
2. Green and brown Christmas living room
This simple, natural color palette is perfect for a country living room.
The tree is decorated with chunky wooden ornaments,
and the color scheme is carried through the rest of the space with the use of fresh greenery and pinecones.
We love the way the colors of the tree are reflected in the landscape artwork, and the soft green cushions and throws.
These colors are so cozy and inviting and work perfectly in a living room that’s all about comfort.
3. Modern Christmas living room
This modern living room is giving us all the cool, contemporary Christmas vibes.
The color scheme is kept very simple, just a mix of black and white, and then pops of green from the Christmas tree and the garland.
The tree is decorated with simple, modern ornaments, and the look is topped off with a simple star.
The garland is a great addition to this living room, and it’s a style that is so easy to recreate.
Just pick up a eucalyptus garland and then add in some faux flowers and berries to give it a festive touch.
4. Traditional Christmas living room
If you want to embrace a traditional Christmas living room look, start with a classic red and green color palette.
You can then layer in all kinds of festive patterns, from tartan to toiles.
The mantel is the focal point of this traditional Christmas living room, with a lush garland, stockings, and a wreath.
The red and green colors are repeated in the cushions, throws, and ornaments, and the look is finished with a classic Christmas tree.
5. Scandinavian Christmas living room
If you are a fan of simple, understated decor, then a Scandinavian Christmas living room is the look for you.
This style is all about keeping things minimal, but still cozy.
The star of this look is that stunning tree. Lightly decorated with white and natural wood ornaments, it’s a lovely focal point but doesn’t take over the room.
6. Glam Christmas living room
If you are looking for a more glam Christmas living room idea, this look is for you.
The velvet sofa, the gold and navy color scheme and the more sophisticated decorations give this room a more elegant, grown-up feel.
You can use the same decorations you have always used to create this look,
just add in some more luxurious elements – think velvet textures, gold and crystal accents, and a more muted color scheme.
7. Rustic Christmas living room
Embrace the rustic look with lots of wood, natural textures and a neutral color palette.
You can still add in some festive greenery and a few Christmas decorations, but keep it simple and subtle.
We love how the white and wood scheme has been given a cozy update with the addition of the dark green and red cushions.
8. Coastal Christmas living room
If you love the look of a traditional Christmas but want to keep it light and airy, take inspiration from this gorgeous coastal Christmas living room.
All the traditional elements are there, the stockings, the tree, the garland, but the colors are all light and the room is filled with natural light.
The Christmas tree is decorated with a mix of blue and white ornaments, and the same colors are used in the garland.
The stockings, the pillows, and even the presents are all in the same soft color palette,
and you could easily add in more of your own favorite coastal colors too.
9. Farmhouse Christmas living room
Farmhouse and rustic decor is a popular choice for Christmas living rooms. The cozy, casual style is perfect for the holidays.
This living room from Liz Marie Blog is a great example of a farmhouse Christmas look.
The space is filled with cozy textures and decor in classic red and green.
10. Shabby chic Christmas living room
We love the shabby chic style in the living room. It’s a look that works all year round but can be easily updated for the festive season.
Keep the color scheme pale and interesting with some warm accent colors, and then you can just add in some Christmas decorations.
The tree is the star of the show here, with a simple string of lights and some baubles.
You could also use flowers to decorate your tree, they add a lovely softness to the room.
11. Boho Christmas living room
For a laid-back, boho Christmas living room, keep the space neutral and then add in pops of color with your Christmas decor.
Here, the reds and pinks add a festive touch without being too overwhelming.
We love the simplicity of this look, the lovely white living room with the exposed beams and the large tree that creates a lovely focal point.
12. Vintage Christmas living room
This traditional Christmas living room is filled with vintage touches, from the classic color scheme to the old-fashioned decorations.
We love the idea of bringing a retro feel to your living room with some of your festive decorating.
You could even mix in some of your family’s old decorations for an extra sentimental touch.
13. Classic Christmas living room
You can’t get more classic at Christmas than a red, white and gold color scheme. This living room decor is giving us all the traditional, festive feels.
The red and white striped cushions are a great way to introduce this color scheme into your living room,
and they can be easily switched out come January.
The same goes for the accessories on the mantel – just pop in some new decor and you have a completely different look.
14. Merry and bright Christmas living room
This is how you do a traditional Christmas living room, but with a twist.
It’s a traditional red living room, but the pops of green and the white walls keep it feeling fresh and bright.
The Christmas tree is a statement in this space, reaching all the way up to the ceiling.
And we love the idea of hanging wreaths on the wall behind the sofa to add even more festive foliage.
15. Blue and white Christmas living room
Blue and white is a classic Christmas color scheme and we love the pops of blue in this living room.
The Christmas tree is decorated with a mix of blue and white ornaments and
the color scheme is continued throughout the space with the presents and the throw pillows.
The blue and white is offset with the warm glow of the fireplace and the twinkly lights on the tree, creating a lovely balance of color and light.
16. Silver and gold Christmas living room
If you’re a fan of a more traditional Christmas color scheme, then this living room is your dream come true.
It’s just the right amount of glam with the silver and gold accents, and we love the hints of greenery throughout.
The mantel is the star of the show, with a stunning garland, candles, and a simple wreath.
The rest of the room is simply dressed with more festive foliage, and a few metallic accents.
17. Black and white Christmas living room
If you prefer a more neutral Christmas color scheme, black and white is a great option.
This living room features a black and white Christmas tree, black and white stockings,
and the same black and white theme is carried out in the mantel decor as well.
This living room has a more modern feel, so the Christmas decorations are simple and sleek.
The trees on the mantel are made from a wooden dowel and a few pom poms, and the black and white stockings are hung with command hooks.
18. Purple and pink Christmas living room
If you love pastel colors and want to incorporate them into your Christmas living room,
take a note from this space and go for a purple and pink color scheme.
The tree is decorated with blush pink and lavender ornaments,
and the colors are carried throughout the room with the gifts, the throw pillows, and the garland on the mantel.
19. Pastel Christmas living room
If you love a pastel color scheme in your home, there’s no reason why you can’t incorporate that into your Christmas decorating.
This living room is a masterclass in how to use pastel colors in a Christmas living room.
The pink and blue are balanced with plenty of white, and the touches of gold add some warmth.
The look is then grounded with a traditional red and white rug.
20. Rainbow Christmas living room
If you love color, then this is the Christmas living room for you. The rainbow palette gives a fun, modern twist to the traditional red and green look.
The color scheme is carried throughout the room with the rainbow baubles on the tree, the colorful throw pillows and the hanging decorations.
21. Colorful Christmas living room
If you’re a fan of color, Christmas is the perfect time to embrace the rainbow.
This living room is a masterclass in how to use color to create a fun, festive space.
The tree is adorned with a mix of bright baubles and fun decorations, and the mantel has been dressed with a colorful garland and a mix of stockings.
The colors in the room are tied together with a patterned rug, and the sofa has been piled high with colorful cushions.
We love how the colors in the room have been echoed in the artwork on the wall too.
22. Simple Christmas living room
Sometimes less is more, and that’s definitely the case in this simple Christmas living room. All the decorations are small, but the room still feels festive.
A small tree, a simple wreath, and a few other small decorations are all you need to make your living room feel like Christmas.
23. Minimal Christmas living room
If you are after a simple Christmas living room idea, a minimalist look is a great way to go.
This space is still full of festive touches, but it’s all been kept very subtle and stylish.
We love the mix of textures going on in this living room.
The layers of rugs, the sheepskin throws, the velvet cushions, and the linen curtains all add a lovely softness to the space.
