Christmas Living Room Themes to Try This Year
Decorating your living room for Christmas isn’t just about making things look festive, it’s a total mood booster.
There’s something about twinkly lights, fluffy throws, and a tree in the corner that just makes everything feel warmer (even if it’s freezing outside).
Whether you lean cozy and neutral or love a bold red-and-gold moment, these 20 living room styles will help you create a space that feels merry, magical, and totally “you.”
Cozy Christmas Living Room
Layers of warmth and texture. Think fuzzy throws, soft lighting, and nostalgic charm.

Sophisticated tones like gold, ivory, and crystal with minimal clutter.

Farmhouse Christmas Living Room
Rustic charm meets holiday warmth: shiplap, burlap, and twinkly lights.

Whimsical or Themed Black & Red Christmas Living Room
Grinch, Nutcracker, Disney, buffalo plaid, or pastel-preppy. This one’s playful, full of character, and especially fun for families or themed parties.
See more of our Black and Red Theme for details.
Classic Red & Gold Christmas Living Room
Not too trendy, not too plain. Just the perfect balance of red, green, twinkle lights, and sentimental touches. Works with almost any style home.
Red and Blue Christmas Living Room
If you do not have a fireplace, adding a floating shelf “mantel” is a great way to give the feel of a fireplace mantel.
Unexpected, but stunning. Navy or icy blue paired with silver, white, or even gold gives a cool-toned twist on classic Christmas.
Blue Christmas Living Room
A shimmer of light blue, silver and white gives an elegant coastal feel without feeling overdone.
This happens to br the tree in the dining room but you could replicate this same feel in a living room that you want to give a light coastal feel to.

Tips for Choosing the Right Theme for Your Home
- Look at your current color palette. Don’t fight it, work with it.
- Consider your space (vaulted ceiling? small apartment?)
- Pick 2–3 anchor items (like a tree style, throw pillows, and garland)
- Layer in the rest with budget-friendly finds (cue the Amazon and Target links)
Want to Try More Than One Theme?
Who says you have to pick just one style? Mix and match for a look that’s all you. Here’s how to blend a few favorites:
