'Tis the season to deck the halls — and the living room. Whether this spot is your holiday party central or just the scene of a sweet Christmas morning with family, HGTV Magazine has all the inspiration you need to making your living room festive, inviting and ready for the holidays.
If it's hard to find space for a tree in your living room, a tabletop version can be just as jolly. In this modern apartment, a mini tree tops shelves filled with firewood, bringing all the cozy, holiday feels. And if you need more trees to get in the spirit, try adding bottle brush ones to your setup.
An easy way to bring holiday cheer to your living room: Add a novelty pillow to the sofa. The spherical peppermint candy pillow on this sectional is a small addition that packs a big punch of holly-jolly style.
Head to your local thrift store for some retro finds for your family room. Knit stockings, plastic Santas and other kitchsy items add personality and tap into the nostalgia of Christmases past. Plus, giving old holiday decor new life is an affordable way to decorate for the season that creates less waste — it doesn't get much merrier than that.
