Grab branches of greenery and solid colored ornaments to fill in any blank or open spaces to pull the whole look together. Your collections will add texture, color and plenty of holiday cheer throughout your space without feeling crowded. If you have a vintage collection of holiday trinkets, mini Christmas trees or nutcrackers, give them a prominent spot in your living room. Now you have the space to present your holiday collections and decor. Pack up and put away the everyday decor that’s on your built-ins, hanging shelves and even your coffee table. Start with a clean slate when it’s time to decorate. Measure the space and subtract one foot and take these measurements with you when you choose your tree to ensure the perfect sized fir or spruce. Same goes for the floor space that your tree will cover. So if your ceiling height is eight feet, your maximum tree height should be seven and a half feet. These six inches will be for your tree topper and the extra height of the tree stand. Start by measuring how tall your ceiling is and then subtract six inches. Whether you choose a fresh-cut tree or you’re going with an artificial one, here’s how to make sure you pick one that’s the right size. If it’s too small, you won’t be able to display all of your ornaments. If you choose a tree that’s too big, it will overwhelm your space. The Christmas tree is the star attraction of your holiday decorating, and it’s important to get the right size tree for your living room. From ornaments that bring back memories of holidays past to new, modern pieces that incorporate a festive, but stylish, theme, here are some living room holiday decorating tips for inspiration as you begin to deck the halls.

After all, that’s where you’ll be watching holiday movies on repeat. Spread a little extra holiday cheer by making your living room decor the centerpiece of your holiday. Pour yourself a cup of hot chocolate and turn on your favorite Christmas music because it’s time to decorate for the holidays.
