Our Favorite Real Home Christmas Living Rooms

A neutral living room becomes playful thanks to an eye-catching candelabra and ornaments. The mantel is accentuated with a fresh evergreen garland along with whimsical trinkets like miniature gnomes, red mushrooms, and mice.

Homeowner Lynn Eastin's sophisticated Christmas living room is filled with mirrored surfaces reflecting the soft glow put of the tree's string lights. A vase of tulips, potted paperwhites on the mantel, sequin pillows, and a wreath hung on the fireplace mirror contribute to the understated elegance of the nature-inspired space.

Everything about this cheery room -- eye-catching stockings, vibrant tree ornaments, and bright holiday figurines -- complement the existing orange sofa and pink, blue, and yellow pillows. Even a holiday wreath above the fireplace is adorned with colorful ribbons.

Keep a gold bar cart stocked and ready for seasonal entertaining in a Christmas living room full of warm and inviting accents. A large red banner spells out the mood while fleece and flannel fabrics in embroidery hoops on the mantel reinforce the cozy atmosphere.

Watch how to incorporate blue and green baubles in a living room for Christmas.

Artwork made by homeowner Way Way Allen’s friends and family add life to a crisp white wall while red and blue ikat pillows have the same effect on the sofa. A vase full of striped 'Popov' amaryllis flaunt more traditional holiday hues along with the classic red, white, and gold tree ornaments.

Coordinating with the existing antique theme, the homeowner sought after old-world stockings, pillows, and decorations to boost the cozy nature of this Christmas living room. Festive poinsettias dazzle in an enamelware pitcher on the neutral coffee table.

Keep choosing your decor simple when you pick one color to dominate the room. A white tree, chair slipcovers, and assorted candies offer a crisp, clean feel to an elegant home. Adorn the tree with ornaments in a light color palette to add drama.

Red, white, and blue aren't just for summertime. We love the nautical stockings and throws in this beachy home.

Year-round red accents in the living room make decorating for Christmas super easy! When holiday time comes, just add stockings that match the throw pillows, hang a few wreaths with some red ribbon, and remember the tree, of course.

Here's proof that Christmas decorating doesn't have to be over the top. A simple but matching tree, garland, and wreath dress up this living room with minimal effort.

Choose a pop of red for festive and traditional decor. Bright poinsettias and a classic tree take this white-walled room to Christmastime stardom.

Beige chairs and a trellis pattern rug let the gold and green Christmas decor do the talking. 

A rustic-looking home calls for outdoorsy Christmas decor. Drape greenery (real or faux) along ledges for a subtle but festive look that you won't want to take down.

Learn how to create a contemporary, non-traditional, cottage-style, or sophisticated space for the holiday season.

A large chalkboard calendar makes counting down until Christmas easy. Two bright white trees, which get added height from galvanized tub stands, balance out the gray tones of the rest of the room.

A Christmas living room with clean lines and patterns craves a tree with some spontaneity. Add texture with a pretty pom-pom garland. 

Gold curtains look like they were made for Christmastime when accented with a simple wreath and tree. Cozy blankets complete the scene and make warming up by the fireplace super comfy.

Bold silver ornaments on this Christmas tree match the subtle silver reindeer leaping over the mantel.
