Transform your living room- the heart of the home with these festive Christmas living room decorating ideas. From living room paint ideas to creating the perfect centrepiece, we have found ways to make every corner in the living room fun and festive.

Add warm textiles

You can add woolen throws and cushions on the sofa, armchairs and window seats for cosy days and nights. Keep additional throws close to hand in baskets for your guests to get warm and snuggly. For textiles, look for tones and designs to match your furniture and Christmas tree in the room for a well co-ordinated décor.

Create a festive wall

Metallic wall paint is beautiful at any time of the year but teamed with Christmas décor, it’s a stunning backdrop for your living room. This wall colour blends beautifully with painted and light tined wooden furniture, woven textures and a tall green tree.

 

Set a simple centrepiece

 

You don’t need a big fireplace or tree to create a focal point for a festive space. You can use something as simple as a coffee table and add fairy lights, candles, a cluster of pinecones and ornaments and a lantern to make the space feel festive.

 

Small space solution

 

If you have a small living room, a mini Christmas tree will get your space ready for the festive season without overwhelming the room. You can also add a wreath to your doors and window for an added charm.

 

Scandinavian décor

 

Embrace Scandinavian style and keep your décor streamlined and simple by sticking to one or two main colours and avoid decorating with unnecessary accents and décor pieces.

 

Use jewel tones for added warmth

 

Complement the warmth of the space with jewel tones that will enrich the look and add a touch of sophistication to your living room. Think jewel green, red, silver and gold, a sure shot way for a quick upgrade to make any space look festive.

Get crafty

The holidays can be a great time to show off your crafty side. You can DIY a wreath using pinecones, ornaments and flowers. You can also make your own candles and potpourri using warm scents like cinnamon, orange and cloves that are sure to bring in the festive vibes.

We hope these ideas help you to get your living room festive season ready!

Wall paint colours heavily influence the overall mood of the space. Depending on the vibe and aesthetics you are looking to create, you can choose colours to add personality and charm to your room. The colour experts at Berger Paints suggest staying away from fading trends and sticking to timeless shades. Browse through our picks for timeless wall colours for inspiration:

Blue

Shades of blue have a unique ability to add a sense of calmness and stability to the space. They pair well with neutrals such as cream and brown. So, if your room has hardwood flooring then this could be a great choice. Blue works equally well as an accent colour. It reflects the hues of sea and sky.

Grey

Grey walls can make your room seem more spacious than it actually is. It suits both décor styles- modern and vintage. If you want to experience with different colours and like to switch styles every now and then, you can opt for grey walls and incorporate pops of colours, textures and conversational pieces.

Red

Red has always been an impactful and powerful colour in the spectrum. This colour is particularly a good colour option for spaces that are highly energetic, like the dining room. Red blends well with metallic and neutral tones for a well-balanced look.

 

Beige

Considered as a go-to neutral for designers, beige is a safe and dependable wall colour option. Beige walls help create a minimalistic look that is classic and stunning. It is one of the most popular colour for living rooms and you can pair it with other neutrals like brown, black and white for a high impact look.

 

Black

Black is not the most obvious choice for wall colours and that is what makes it so great. Black walls can be dramatic and unexpected. Your furniture is more likely to pop against a black backdrop. There are many ways you can design a black space but ensure that your room is open and well lit to incorporate this colour in heavy doses.

Before choosing any colour, it is important to understand the effect of different light on the colour. Since the way the colour looks depends heavily on the lighting, what looks good to you in natural light, might look slightly different in the night with indoor lights on. Test the colour with swatches in different lights before painting all walls.

If you think your walls look old or and boring and could use a refresher, there are plenty of ways you can revamp your walls without a full paint job. You can transform one wall using hues of metallic paint or pastel hues or add wall stencils and textures without adding clutter or unnecessary big revamps.

Use these ideas to give any room in the house a fresh, new look without breaking the bank.

Metallic

For a truly show-stopping look, you can upgrade your walls to a metallic hue. There are plenty of ways you can incorporate this colour on your walls. But the trick remains in balance- ensuring there is a good mix of metallic and neutral so that the space doesn’t look overwhelming. If you are painting the entire room metallic, stick to neutral and wicker hues for furnishings. And if you are opting for one metallic wall, you can introduce a few pops of colours around the room for a more layered, put together look.

Stripes

Stripes are a timeless décor style and you can introduce a bit of class to your home walls by incorporating them. And there are different ways you can use this print- thin stripes or thick stripes, horizontal or vertical etc. that will add visual intrigue to your home walls.

Wall Stencils

Using wall stencils is an easy and simple way to add sophistication and personality to your walls. If you’re looking for a high impact on your décor without having to change things drastically, this one’s for you.

You can browse through hundreds of wall stencils from Berger Paints. There are plenty of unique designs available like flora, nova, Wi-Fi and radiant glow. You can breathe a new life into a space without a major revamp. For your kids’ room, you can also opt for Easy Clean Stencils. The stencils are available in fun and expressive themes like jungle, safari, nature or sports. Moreover, the stencils can be removed and stored for future applications which make it a great décor idea for kids who tend to outgrow things quickly

Colour Wash

Add some interior pizazz to your walls with a colour wash. It will add texture and depth to the walls, whether you go for vibrant colours or a more neutral one.
