The Most Beautiful Living Room Decorated for Christmas

‘Tis the season to be jolly, and what better way to embrace the holiday spirit than by adorning your living room with the most beautiful and elegant Christmas decorations? In this blog post, I’ll be sharing my Christmas decor in my living room decorated in shades of light pink and gold. From the flocked Christmas tree adorned with pink and gold accents to the fireplace mantle, I’ll share all the big and little details on how I decked out the halls for this holiday season. Did I mention that my name is Holly and I was due to be born on Christmas day so my parents named me Holly…….and then I married a guy with the last name Jolley! Yep, I’m Holly Jolley! So when I say have a Holly Jolley Christmas, I really mean it, literally!

The Christmas Living Room Color Palette

Today I’m sharing my Christmas living room décor with shades of light pink and gold – an unconventional yet beautiful color scheme that transformed my living room into a sophisticated winter wonderland. Bid farewell to the traditional Christmas colors and see all the details of my holiday living room adorned with delicate hues of pink and gold accents.

I will link as many of the items I used to create this look throughout the post and at the bottom of the post so be sure to scroll down.

My little bernedoodle Copper always loves to pose for my photos on the settee! I wish I could share the source for this but it was discontinued many years ago. It was purchased from Gatehouse in Orem, Utah.

The Living Room Christmas Tree

I absolutely love having a flocked Christmas tree! My husband despises the flocked trees but he always manages to help me put them up even though they make quite a mess! My tree is a 12′ Flocked Long Needle Pine. It comes pre-lit but I’ve learned that the lights rarely work so I add my own lights to the tree.

I always use a lot of ornaments when I decorate my trees and it’s surprising how many a big tree holds! I love adding ribbon throughout the tree and it’s one of my favorite ways to fill in any holes and add more color to the tree. Another way to add color and fill holes is to add berries, flowers, and some type of greenery or branches to the tree. For this tree, I used frosted gold eucalyptus, gold bay leaf sprays and other gold-colored cedar branches as well as weeping snowy pine cone branches.

For the top of the tree, I used some gold feather picks and more gold-frosted eucalyptus.

I always match my wrapping paper to the tree and colors that I decorate with to create a cohesive look. This year I used nesting boxes, gold and white gift boxes as well as pink, gold, and white wrapping paper with lots of ribbon in the same colors. I love how it looks when the presents match the tree. Here are some of my favorite wrapping paper and ribbon to wrap presents with! I also added more at the bottom in the shop my post section.

I used a four-inch wide gold-edged velvet ink ribbon for the tree. I cut long strips of the ribbon and then tied a green floral wire in the center of the ribbon and then wired it into the tree.

I used a variety of blush pink, gold, antiqued gold, bronze, and copper colored ornaments. I loved the variety on the tree. It’s amazing how many ornaments it takes to fill a up a 12′ tree!

The Christmas Living Room Accents

I also added other pink and gold accents to the living room to tie the tree and mantle together which makes it all cohesive. One thing I always love to add to the coffee table and shelves is a flower arrangement. I made this simple one using these Snowy Pink Peonies, Snowy Peony Spray, and Snowy Hydrangeas. I also added some other decorative accents like this gold deer head and a snow globe.

I also love to add in vases that match the decor colors and then I added in some reindeer, pink throw pillows and pink throw blankets. It adds more warmth and coziness to the room. Here’s a few from my shop HollyJHome.com but I added more options down below in the Shop The Post Section.

9 Christmas Kitchen Decor Ideas for the Best Holiday Charm

The post The Most Beautiful Living Room Decorated for Christmas appeared first on Home With Holly J.

From the Christmas lights to the holiday cheer, we are all looking to add a little festive feel to get us in the holiday spirit.

When we think about how to setup our holiday decor to bring about a merry Christmas, the typical Christmas decorations, and what you probably did last year, typically happen in the living room, dining room, or front porch.

But, what about creating a winter wonderland in the bedroom? This could be in a guest room, master bedroom, or kids room.

There’s no need to go overboard; a few simple additions can make all the difference in adding a little Christmas cheer to your home this Christmas season the easy way.

Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Choose a cozy Christmas bedroom color scheme.

First things first, pick your color scheme. This could be the same color scheme you use year round or updated to be a little more festive

You’ll want to choose a palette that reflects the overall tone of the holiday season.

You could do a color scheme with white, red, and a touch of black like Rachael from This Is Our Bliss did in her bedroom above.

For example, if you’re going for a more traditional look, you might opt for bright reds and lush greenery like Jenn and Vicki from 2 Bees in a Pod have in their guest bedroom.

However, if you’re looking for something a little more unique, you could try a blue and mustard color scheme like I have here.

Or you could go with an all white color scheme like Maria from Pure Happy Home did above.

Whatever you choose, you’ll need this step before heading in to my next tip… adding a tree.

Add in a bedroom Christmas tree.

Once you have your color scheme, you’ll want to use it as the baseline for decorating your bedroom Christmas tree.

If you don’t have the space for a full-sized tree, you can always opt for smaller table-top mini trees or even a half-tree like Christin from My Homier Home used in her guest bedroom.

Or for a children’s room, you can choose a 4-foot tree that has a smaller profile like the one Colleen from Lemon Thistle has in her daughter’s room.

A set of bottle brush trees with string lights, like what I have in the lanterns are a great way to add Christmas trees to the mix.

Choose ribbon and ornaments that complement your color scheme.

Add simple beaded garland for an elegant touch.

If you need more tree decorating tips, I have an entire article dedicated to just that. You can read all my tips for decorating a Christmas tree here.

You could even keep the Christmas tree naked in all it’s twinkling glory like Shannon from Fox Hollow Cottage did in her master bedroom.

Adding a Christmas tree to your bedroom will bring all the festive Christmas charm to your mornings and evenings. Such a great way to get in the holiday mood.

Add festive elements around the room.

Next, you’ll want to add little touches of the holidays throughout the room.

A simple way to add your festive colors is in the right bedding or throw blanket add to the end of the bed.

You could even add a Christmas wreath or evergreen garland like I have on the mantel or to the top of the headboard. Accent pillows go a long way in adding Christmas spirit too.

Don’t forget to add miniature Christmas trees to your lanterns or a small reindeer figurine to your bedside tables.

You could also DIY some beautiful wood snowflakes to add to the mix like Zoe from Pine and Poplar did above.

From your bedding to throw pillows to artwork or night stand, adding a few beautiful holiday additions will add a simple festive touch to your room.

Make time to snuggle up by the glow of the tree

Finally, don’t forget to make time to cozy up by the glow of your Christmas tree.

Whether you’re reading a book, chatting with friends, or simply enjoying the quiet of the season in your personal silent night. This is a great way to relax and enjoy the holidays.

Hopefully you enjoyed these simple ideas to a Christmas feel to your bedroom this holiday.

The holiday season is a great time to decorate your front porch and add some welcoming holiday decor. If you’re not sure where to begin, take a look at some of my outdoor Christmas decorating ideas for inspiration from both of my homes.

Start by adding a garland to the front door.

Adding wreaths or swags to the front doors, along with garland is always a great way to bring in a festive touch, and they’re so easy to add to your porch. I use silver command strip hooks to hang the wreaths and I use small nails to hang the garland above the doors. You can use fresh or faux greenery or both! In prefer to use faux garlands and wreaths at my Utah home because it’s a very dry climate and fresh evergreens dry out very quickly there. At my home in Washington where the weather is more humid, fresh evergreens last for months so I prefer to use fresh greenery at my home there. Be sure to add a few bows for a pop of color, and don’t forget the lights!

Christmas lights are the perfect way to add a touch of sparkle to your porch.

Add planters filled with fresh evergreens.

Here at my Utah home, I used some fresh evergreens to fill the front porch pot. I also added some sugar pine cones and some faux red berries stems to add some color. It’s okay to mix fresh and faux. I cut the greenery from my yard in Washington state where we have acres of evergreen trees! Would you believe I brought all these evergreen branches inside a suitcase and on the airplane to Utah? You can’t find greenery like this in Utah! My favorite evergreens to use are cedar and pine. They are the prettiest evergreens for your outdoor pots in my opinion and the easiest to use. There are many cedar and pine varieties too! Many nurseries and garden stores will sell evergreens.

Sams Club has fresh evergreen wreaths and garlands and they will ship them right to you! I’ll link them at the bottom of the post!

I also used three birch logs in the center of the pot to add some different textures to the pot. If you water the pot, the branches will last longer, especially if you live in a drier climate.

I snipped all these evergreens out of my yard in Washington and then I added in pine cones and fresh holly berry branches also cut from my yard.

In this pot at my Utah home I mixed fresh and faux again. I used these mini trees in the center, then added some fresh evergreens around the base of the mini tree. Last I added in some large sugar pine cones.

Add in a few special touches to tie it all together.

Add some pinecones to a box or bin. I like the cinnamon scented ones you can often find at the grocery store. I also like to add mini evergreen cypress trees to the porch. I placed them into some Galvinized metal cans.

Here I added a grapevine reindeer and some faux poinsettias in a galvanized metal can.

I added a wreath on the front pillars leading up the front porch then added a red velvet ribbon to the wreath.

Here I added some evergreens to my front porch pots. I push the evergreen branches into the dirt and arrange them from shortest to tallest. Then I added some holly berries for a pop of red color. I also added a large metal bell donned with red rope. No matter how you choose to decorate your porch, these outdoor Christmas decorating ideas will help you create a festive and inviting space for your guests.

Christmas Tree Decor Ideas

The Christmas tree is my favorite place to incorporate all the subtleties of the room’s decor. Think of the tree as the focal point. There are so many tips for decorating a Christmas tree, but here are some of my favorite ideas when it comes to the living room Christmas tree.

1. Incorporate an unexpected, yet nostalgic element to the room alongside the tree.

A rocking horse brings in a vintage element and makes the tree area feel more cozy rather than just a stand alone.

2. Use wood bead garland on the tree.

This wood bead garland is the perfect element to add to the tree in a way that doesn’t detract from the overall beauty.

3. Use layers of ribbon with a gold sleigh bell.

One of my favorite things to do with ribbon on the tree is to add it in layers. I take three types of ribbon and wire them together and then wire them into the tree.

4. Use frosted pip berry stems to add pops of red.

Berry stems are a great way to add a little pop of color without it coming off unnatural and the berries fill in any holes in the tree. I will sometimes layer a branch of greenery, an artificial flower, and a berry stem together and then tuck that into the tree.

5. Find ornaments with subtle color to compliment the neutrals.

The ornaments add in pops of color throughout the tree. I vary the different types of ornaments and usually try to have at least 6 of each type to go on the tree. I also wire the ornaments onto the tree rather than let them hang off the branches. This is great for making sure they stay put and they look nicer this way too!

Fireplace and Mantle Christmas Decor Ideas

In any living room, the fireplace and mantle, whether it be real or faux, is a prime area to focus on for your holiday decorating. Here are a few of my favorite tips for decorating this spot for Christmas.

6. Repeat the same layers of ribbon from the tree on the mantle garland.

Even though we decorate in segments of the room, you want to make sure that the overall aesthetic and theme carries through to all the areas. Adding the same ribbon from the tree is a great way to do this. I also carry the same ribbon or one of the three ribbons over to the staircase garland.

7. Group your stockings on one side of the mantle.

Stockings always look their best in groups of three on one side of the mantle.

8. Spruce up the garland with simple and elegant strings of beads.

Bring in some subtle flash of metallic on the mantel to make it feel more full and warm.

9. Add wrapped presents in your color scheme to the base of the hearth.

Don’t forget to incorporate your gift boxes with your color scheme and use them as decor at the base of the fireplace.

10. Add a deep green or red velvet blanket draped over the arm.

Who doesn’t love a warm fuzzy blanket during the holiday season? Make sure they are readily available and choose colors that compliment your decor.

11. Add throw pillows to create warmth and add pops of color.

My favorite type of throw pillow to add to the mix for the holidays is anything soft, but velvet specifically.

12. Group festive figurines in varying heights on top of a tray.

The key here is to vary the heights of each of the elements. If you are going to group a few small things together, ground those items with a tray. Also group decor items in groups of three or five. I always do things in odd numbers.

13. Add a short vase with evergreen clippings.

I always add some type of flower arrangement to the table or tray. Here I added some small frosted red berry picks to a compote bowl.

14. Incorporate colored taper candles with vintage gold candlesticks.

Adding candles and candlesticks are a great way to add decor to any space. I loved taper candles and you can do white or whatever color matches your decor. Here I did two different colors during the season.

15. Use your favorite Christmas books as decor.

And as always, don’t forget to bring in your favorite holiday books to warm up your decor and add height to the mix.

Christmas Front Porch Decorating Ideas and Tips

I’ve been so excited to share my Christmas Front Porch Decorating Ideas and Tips with you. I partnered with Martha Stewart and Macy’s to decorate my front porch at our Highland, Utah home. This was so much fun and I loved how easy it was to do this!

The Upper Porch

I have an upper and a lower porch so I’ll break it up so you can see both sections. I used a mix of fresh greenery that I bought from a local garden store, cut branches from trees in my yard, and  I also used artificial greenery from the Martha Stewart Holiday Collection at Macy’s. Mixing fresh and faux greenery is one of my favorite tips and tricks to use to decorate my porch.

In the upper flower pots, I added in the mini artificial trees into the middle of the pot. I nestled it right info the potting soil, then I layered fresh greenery around the base of the tree to cover up the potting soil. I pushed the branches right down into the dirt then added in some large and small pine cones.

To add some decor and color to this section of the porch, I added two reindeer on each side, then added the faux poinsettias into Galvinized metal cans. You can have items be the same on each side or mix it up. My porch has a lot of symmetry and a lot of space to fill up so I find that doing the same on both sides keeps things balanced.

The Front Door Wreaths and Garland

I loved the garland from the Martha Stewart holiday collection. It’s lightly frosted and once I hung it around the doors, it matched well with my silver doors. To hang the garland, I put small nail holes into the wood trim surrounding the doors. I used three of the Martha Stewart garlands from Macy’s to create this look. One on the top of the door, and one for each side.

I was amazed at how easy it was to hang the garlands. If you can’t add nails, outdoor command strips also work well and hold up better outside.

I always add two wreaths to my doors for the holiday season. I tied velvet ribbon bows onto the bottom and hung them with the bows on the bottom of the wreath. Make sure to always “fluff” your garlands and wreaths! Artificial wreaths and garlands need a good fluff when you pull them out of the box or bag they come in. Another tip and trick I used to hang my wreaths is command strips. I have silver ones that match my doors.

When you use command strips, make sure the surfaces you’re adhering them to is clean and dry. Apply the strip to the hook, then apply to the door and let set for at least twenty minutes. (if you have time to let it set overnight, it seems to hold up better) (directions for this are also on the command strip boxes).

I used thin green wire to attach the ribbons. Tie the ribbon around the wreath and then tie a bow. Once the bow is tied, I wrap the wire around the bow and wire it onto the wreath and twisting it on the back side of wreath. You can also tie a loop of wire onto the wreath at the top and to hang it by the wire onto the command strips too. Both options work great for hanging wreaths.

The Lower Porch

We have pavers steps up to the lower porch which makes for a grand entrance. I like having the lower flower pots on the front porch so I can decorate that area too. In these lower pots, I used mostly fresh greenery, birch logs, a few faux red berry stems, and more pine cones.

To create this look, I added the birch logs directly into the potting soil of the pot. I pushed them down a few inches until they could stand up on their own. I  put three in each pot towards the center. Then I took a variety of assorted evergreen branches (pine and cedar) and pushed them down into the dirt going all directions so that the branches were falling outward. The dirt helps the branches to stand up.

After the larger greenery branches were in, I used the smaller branches and nestled them into the area on the bottom to fill in any holes. You don’t want the dirt in the pot showing. I also added the faux red berry stems into the middle to add a pop of red. I would’ve preferred something fresh with red berries but I couldn’t find any this year.

Lastly I added in more pine cones to fill in any other gaps or holes, then I added the gold reindeers into the front of the pots.

To add a little more color and to tie into the upper porch, I added two more of the artificial Christmas trees into glavinzied metal pots and set them to the side of the bigger pots.

I also added a different wreath with red velvet ribbon to both the posts on the lower porch.

Hanging the Wreaths on the Upper Windows

One last inexpensive and easy tip is to add wreaths to the windows. I used command strip hooks on the upper windows and let them sit overnight. The next day, I hung three wreaths on the windows. I also added them to the French doors on the lower level but we had a crazy wind storm and it knocked them down. I will wait to attach them again on a less windy day!

The only thing missing now is the snow! We usually get a little snow by this time of year here in Utah. I hope it comes soon as this will all look so beautiful!

Oh and don’t forget to add a nice doormat by the front doors!

Christmas Tree Decor Ideas

I’m sharing some of my Christmas Tree Decor Ideas and many of these items are on sale too! I’ll link all the items below at the bottom of the post. Keep scrolling for a few tips on decorating a Christmas tree.

Green, Ivory, White, and Silver Flocked Tree

This tree is from 2019 and I think it’s still my favorite one to date. I used my 12′ flocked long needle pine artificial tree. The colors for the tree were green, white, ivory, and silver. I also had some bluish-gray plaid ribbon that I added into the blue decor in my home.

I always add in layers of ribbon. I layered the plaid ribbon with the satin ivory ribbon and the thinner dark green velvet ribbon. To get this look I cut equal lengths of each ribbon and wire it together in the middle and then wire it into the tree towards the back of the tree branch.

I don’t hang my ornaments with hooks. I cut 4-6 inch thin green wire and then attach the ornaments to the tree branches with the wire. For ornaments that have a ribbon or something that is hanging from them, I slide the ribbon or twine over the branch and then wrap it around the branch a few times so that it’s not dangling off the tree as much. Sometimes I will just let them hang but I mostly use the other techniques mentioned above to attach or hang the ornaments from the tree.

I also like to wrap presents in boxes and wrapping paper that match the tree and add other things around the tree like this gold reindeer. I tied some of the matching ribbon around it’s neck too.

My Master Bedroom Tree 2019

This is one of the newer trees I’ve added to my collection. I reuse and rotate my ornaments each year.

This tree had a variety of colors in it but the main color was sea salt blue. This matched my bedroom decor. I added in touches of rust, dark teal, ivory, gold, and silver. The tree is a flocked 7.5 artificial tree.

I also used two shades of velvet teal ribbon and wired it into the tree just as I did in the tree above.

The New Master Bedroom Tree

I bought a new tree for my master bedroom this year. I have vaulted ceilings and wanted a tree that was a little taller. I added some new bedding and colors to my master bedroom and I matched the tree to that. I added in some dark mustard and gold colors and I love how it looks.

One of my bernadoodles, Copper. He’s such a good little poser! Even Copper matches the tree!

Coco and Copper are micro mini bernadoodles and Oso is a long haired chiwawa.

Red, Green and White Traditional Tree

This year I went more traditional in my colors for the main tree in the living room. I used red, green, and white on the living room 12′ flocked long needle pine tree. I also used a lot of red berries and gray and red velvet ribbon.

I like to use branches and berry stems in my tree. I layer them together and then slide them into the tree.

I also used some large gold bells and wired those into the tree.

I only used red and ivory ornaments on this tree and added some green colors in by using the layered ribbons.

Heres a few photos with the lights turned on.

This Years Family Room Tree-Red, Green, and White

I used all my green ornaments on this tree in our family room. I also had red frosted berries and a red glittered star at the top.

There’s also mistletoe stems with white berries nestled into the tree and wooden bead garlands throughout.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my christmas tree decor ideas! I’ve linked many of the items I used below and many of them are on major sale including the trees!

TIPS FOR DECORATING A CHRISTMAS TREE

The post Christmas Tree Decor Ideas appeared first on Home With Holly J.

Christmas Home Tour 2019 – A Green and Ivory Christmas

I’m sharing all the details of how I decorated my home for Christmas 2019. This year I went with a green and ivory Christmas color scheme. I reuse my decor from previous years throughout my home and rotate the ornaments and other decor items to change things up. This years decorations are some of my favorite and I really love how it all turned out.

The Trees

I put up three Christmas trees this year and I always try to match or coordinate the tree decorations to the decor in the room.

For the the living room tree, I have a 12′ flocked long needle pine artificial tree. I used green, ivory, and white ornaments for this tree.

There are a mix of other ornaments, faux mistletoe stems, and ribbon throughout the tree. Here are some similar options:

// Green Hobnail Vintage Mercury Glass Ornament // Fur Ball Ornament White // Velvet Ribbon in Green // Checker Ribbon White Green //

For the family room tree I used a 7.5 foot flocked tree and set it into an antique French metal pot. The colors for this tree were blue, ivory, and brown with some greenery mixed into the tree and mantle.

Similar ornaments: Dark Blue Round Glass Ornament// Dark Blue Finial Glass Ornaments // Dark Wood Stained Christmas Ornament // Rustic Bell Ornament Trio // Ribbed Light Brown Round Glass Ornament  //

Garlands & Stems: Powdered Real Touch Cedar Garland// Frosted Fir Pine Garland W/Eucalyptus and Pinecones and Blueberries // Blueberry Spray // Blueberry Stem //

I added a new 7.5 flocked tree to my bedroom this year and the colors in this tree also match the decor in my room.

Gold Sparkle Finial Christmas Ornament// Beaded Mercury Glass 4″ Ornament //  Dusty Blue Velvet Ribbon 1.5″// Boho Bead Garland //

The Mantles

I always decorate the mantles in my living and family rooms.

To create this look on the mantle, I start with a base layer of greenery and then add in layers of individual greenery branches. To secure the garland, I used command strip hooks.

DELUXE NORFOLK PINE AND CEDAR GARLAND// NORFOLK PINE GARLAND //  DELUXE MIXED NORFOLK PINE & CEDAR //

64″ Eucalyptus Seed/Pod/Mixed Pine Mantel Piece Green // Glass Bead Garland in Kraft Box, Brushed Gold Finish

I added the wreath candle holders to the side with green velvet ribbon and then added the gold beaded garland on top of the greenery.

For the family room mantle, I used wooden beads, greenery, and faux floral stems that matched the blue in the room.

The Front Porch

To dress up the front porch, I added some fresh greenery to my flower pots and some large sugar pinecones on top of the greenery. I added more of the big pine cones into the bottom of the garden obelisks. I then added two fresh wreaths to the obelisks and tied them on with a ribbon.

For the upper porch I added some lanterns and two more wreaths onto the doors.

22″ Deluxe Cedar Wreath// DELUXE MIXED NORFOLK PINE & CEDAR WREATH, 26″ // WASHED CEDAR WREATH WITH CONE & BERRY, 24″ // 30″ Pine Cone/Berry/Cedar/Pine Wreath

The Entryway

Inside the front door I decorated the entryway table by adding a large ginger jar filled with winter greens and white frosted flowers. I also added some artwork to the table and my “holly jolly” christmas sign. (That is really my name!) I always have to have things that say “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!” This year I had a sign specially made with the correct spelling of my name.

I added some artificial cedar greenery to the staircase next to the entryway.

Our tiny sized bernadoodles, Coco and Copper always seem to make it into my photos!

The Kitchen and Dining Room

The kitchen is so much fun to decorate for the holidays. I like to add wreaths to the backs of my barstool chairs. Here I layered a frosted berry wreath on top of a slightly larger faux cedar wreath and wired them together. I then wired them onto my barstools.

10″ Iced Berry Wreath // 10″ CEDAR WREATH // 28″ Snowed Peony Spray Snow White // 30.5 SNOWED EUCALYPTUS LEAF SPRAY

I filled a white ginger jar with more faux branches and frosted white peony flowers and set it in the middle of the island.

I added some green and white festive dishes and other items to the open shelving in the kitchen.

I love the pops of green and silver throughout the kitchen. It’s a nice contrast against the white counter and cabinets.

I set up a hot coco bar in this little nook in the kitchen.

I set two different tablescapes this year in the dining room. The first is this green, silver, and white tablescape. Because I decorated before Thanksgiving, I made this tablescape work for both holidays. Here you can see how I added in silver turkeys and pumpkins for Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving, I took out all the fall related decor and swapped it out for Christmas decor.

Here’s the Christmas variation of my tablescape. Much of it is the same but with a few changes it looks like a different tablescape!

The Master Bedroom

Lastly, here’s a few more photos of my master bedroom. I loved the addition of this new tree!

Along with the new christmas tree that matched the bedroom decor, I added a few wintery faux branches to a vase on a tray at the end of my bed.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my Christmas decor for 2019. I’ll link as many sources as I can below.

Merry Christmas 2019!
