Step 1
Decide on a theme. If you decorate your Christmas tree in a certain theme (for instance, a country-style or perhaps a single color), you may choose to carry it out throughout the entire living room. You can also choose to use plain decorations in Christmas colors.
-
Step 2
Start with your furniture. Get festive-colored throws and pillows for your couches and chairs. If you choose solid colors you may even be able to use them at other times during the year. Have a few extra for guests or for snuggling around the tree.
-
Step 3
Hang festive-colored curtains or drapes in the windows. This will make a big difference in the look of the room. You can find colored fabric at a craft store to make into simple curtains, or find cheap solid colored curtains at places like Wal-Mart.
-
Step 4
Place candles all around the room to give the room a soft glow. You can find seasonal candles available in Christmas colors and scents at most craft stores.
-
Step 5
Wrap big boxes with Christmas wrapping paper and place in areas around the room. You can wrap the top of your coffee table to look like a gift.
-
Step 6
Play Christmas music in the living room. This added, with the scent of the candles and the look of the room, will fill your senses with the Christmas season.
