Nothing marks the start of the holiday season quite like bringing out a dusty box of holiday decor from the depths of a storage closet, turning on a cheesy Christmas movie, whipping up some hot chocolate, and decking the halls to make your home a festive wonderland. Out of all the rooms in the house, the living room is obviously the most important when it comes to holiday decor. It’s the spot most visible to guests and the room where you can really go all out with garlands, lights, and the whole shebang. 

The goal is to make your space look and feel as warm and inviting as possible, and the internet is full of inspiration to help you do just that. Whether you’re working with what you already have or re-envisioning your whole holiday setup, look no further. These 10-holiday living rooms are so good, you’ll want to copy them immediately:

Filled with warm colors and traditional touches, this living room is the epitome of elevated yet festive. To recreate it for yourself, lean into cozy colors like burgundy, bronze, and blush for your tree trimmings and accents. Then work in classic holiday decor like a wreath and wooden bead garland to bring life and warmth to an already beautifully curated space.

Add in a cluster of candles and a few seasonal accents for a setup that feels fresh and appropriately festive.

When we first saw photos for this holiday home tour back in 2019, we audibly gasped, and we love it still to this day. It’s organic, it’s magical, and it’s probably one of our favorite holiday setups of all time. To achieve a similar look, let your greenery do the talking and add neutral accents like faux sheepskin throws and brass candlesticks.
