Inside: A Christmas home tour of our southern traditional living room decorated with classic and vintage elements in merry red and white! When I decorated the living room this year, all of this came together with this Christmas red and white color palette.
Today, let’s meet up in my living room and I’ll show how using red and white brought this classic Christmas feel!
Suzy’s dining room looks so lovely with its elegant burgundy and gold combination for Christmas, doesn’t it?
It not only creates an easy flow, but the colors just bring the “merry and bright” Christmas cheer throughout our living spaces. The tree becomes the centerpiece of the living room in December and it’s what greets you head-on when you walk in our front door.
Just like the decor and furniture in my house, this tree is the product of curating and collecting bits and pieces of Christmas ornaments and fillers and just things that I like over the years. At first glance, you might expect to see one of those coordinated trees because my base of ribbon and ball ornaments does have a color theme. New this year was a large set of silver and white ornaments that will go with all my future color combos (thinking ahead!)
I draped a cozy white blanket on the sofa because one of the most peaceful things this time of year is to sit in here at night when the Christmas tree lights are aglow. It’s one of my favorite Christmas decorating hacks to create a lush, full, expensive looking garland, but much cheaper and more custom! I hung our velvet red and white stockings in the living room this Christmas season.
I placed just a couple of simple decorations on the table to echo the red and white color theme. I couldn’t pass up these pretties this year at Decorator’s Warehouse because of their deep gorgeous red color and sparkly light frosted leaves! Thank you for taking the tour of our living room with me – I hope you found a bit of holiday cheer and decorating inspiration for your own home!
