The holidays are here, and it’s time to prepare your home for the festivities. Your to-do list may be long, but there’s still plenty of time to check everything off your list. Begin your preparations with the perfect living room furniture in Bonita Springs to compliment your home and holiday decor. Don’t forget to add extra elements of cheer to ring in the end of this year and the beginning of next!
There can be many obligations around this time of year, from furniture and home decor, to drinks and meal plans. Check out these tips to decorate your living room for the holidays, to make the most out of this magical season.
Have enough seating
Seating is a very important consideration when preparing your living room for the holidays. When accommodating friends and family, it is important to take into account their comfort in your space. You don’t have to have an over-sized living room to accommodate, but rather work with what you have.
For instance, House Beautiful names a few suggestions for fitting more seating in small homes: have a few Poufs that can be set out or put away in the closet until needed. Or, get Nesting Stools that add 2 to 4 bonus chairs to your already-full living room. Use your corners by hanging seats. Finally, consider window seats to add seating without taking up too much space.
Don’t forget the versatility of furniture when evaluating your seating plans. Ottoman’s can be used for seating just as comfortably as couches and chairs! Also, sofabeds are an excellent addition for homes that don’t have enough beds to accommodate guests.
Comfy and Cozy Elements
Speaking of comfort, a popular addition to this season’s holiday decor is conveniently placed throw blankets that match your Christmas decorations in the living room. You can have a few folded up in your Leather Ottoman for quick retrieval or casually draped over furniture to add a cozy element to your space.
Blankets are a wonderful preparation to have on hand for any event you may host. Guests differ from person to person. Having some throw blankets, preferably decorated in holiday cheer and matching your living room, will make you a lifesaver to the friends who get cold easily.
Weather or Not recommends hosts to “do [guests] a favor and have blankets at the ready” that compliment your decor. “It’ll pull in the color theme while offering a gift that helps them enjoy the event despite a cool chill.”
Extend Your Holiday Decorations
Extend your holiday decorations through the whole living room. A tree is a wonderful focal point for your holiday decor in the living room, but you don’t want to underestimate the power of a few accent pieces. Of course, the traditional accent pieces are a holiday must-have like stockings, holiday scented candles, and gift wrapping that compliments your tree. However, there are ways to take your holiday decor to the next level.
According to Better Homes & Garden, a few of the most popular Christmas tree accents in your living room include classic pine garland draped over your fireplace and an evergreen wreath matching the color theme of your tree. However, you should consider “white furnishings and a neutral rug [because they] provide a clean palette for classic green Christmas living room decorations.”
They explain that the secret to decorating your space is to “add simple holiday touches while allowing the tree to shine.”
