STYLISH YET COZY CHRISTMAS LIVING ROOM DECOR

Kick back and relax in style with these holiday décor ideas

There’s always a certain type of magic in the air at this time of year that makes us all want to get in a cozy mood, snuggle up, and stay indoors. Christmas is known for parties, family time, and festive decorations that can, at times, be more gaudy than good. At CB2, we believe Christmas is the time for relaxing in style – seasonal style – with décor that doesn’t have to be obnoxious to inspire festive joy. This season, we’re talking about the best ways to create a stylish-yet-cozy living room. 

Bring things back to neutral with subtle textiles

Christmas colour palettes may typically be associated with reds and greens, but to us the way forward is lighter, neutral shades. Bring your sofa into focus with interesting throw-cushions and blankets, think faux fur and velvet for a touch of luxury. Whites, creams, and champagnes are on-trend and help to make a space comfortable without being overwhelmed by patterns or dense tones and giving you that authentic curling-up-by-the-fire feeling. Lighter textiles are also guaranteed to make your Christmas Day outfit pop, and while we’re not one for playing by the rules, a little nod to a White Christmas goes a long way.

Let your light shine with golden details 

Nothing says style like a pop of luxury gold detailing. Adding this touch of class to your living room is quick and easy and fits any already-existing décor scheme. Add a gold-leaf garland to the border of your fireplace or windowsill for an immediate style lift. Draw attention to surfaces such as shelves and coffee tables with smaller décor pieces, such as a gold or brass stocking holders, or a similar paperweight. 
Another way to add a golden touch to your living room is with twinkling golden fairy lights, which are undeniably festive. These gold details are sure to catch the light and are a seasonal décor staple. 

Bring that tree to life with a tree collar and baubles

The most overlooked décor is often the most effective, and that case remains true for tree collar. An exposed tree base can say unfinished but covering it with a stylish collar is quick and simple and can add a lot to a room. These days, tree collars come in a wide variety of colours, textiles, and styles. Some of our favourites include a cream faux fur circular tree collar for a traditional tree-in-the-snow look and a liquid brass tree collar for a luxurious and avant-garde vibe. 
Baubles are a must-have for any tree and are a great way to score style points while making your living room feel more personal. Whether you like to pick a theme or go with the flow, with a good colour scheme such as silver, champagne, gold, or white, you can’t go wrong with baubles! Top your tree off with an eye-catching decoration. Forget about the stereotypical angel and opt for a champagne-colour star to really stand out.
