Christmas Living Rooms Ideas.



It's where you open presents in the morning, fall asleep after Christmas dinner and have that last festive drink before bed - the living room is at the heart of your Christmas celebrations. These schemes are beautiful examples of how you can stylishly deck out your living space.



Festive Glamour
Your tree should be proportional to the size of your room, the table used as a plinth adds height, while the moss round the base of the tree disguises the unattractive pot in which it is planted, tonal bronze and gold, contrast of the metallics. Try a combination of electric lights placed discreetly on the inner parts of the branches and real flames on the outer; that way you have the best of both worlds.




Traditional Christmas Living Room
The focus is the Christmas tree: 'It has to be perfect because it is seen from every angle. Once we have checked it is the right size, we put it on its side, on trestles, so as not to damage the branches, then wind strings of fairy lights around the trunk, hiding the wire with tinsel. The baubles are put on when the tree is up, with the aid of enormous ladders.' On the chimneypiece is a fake-fir garland embellished with fairy lights, silver foliage and dove ornaments.




Matching Colours in Christmas Living Room
A selection of coloured baubles and pine cones have been spray-painted to match the bold colours of this room, which adds festivity without affecting the harmonious decoration scheme.




Foliage in Christmas Living Room
Traditional but pared-down schemes that look natural, light and fresh.




Classic
The easiest way to give a feeling of festive decoration with very little effort is to strew your surfaces with ivy and candles. Understated and cosy.
