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.

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

Christmas Home Tour 2017 – Blue, Ivory, and Green Christmas

Welcome! Today I’m sharing all the decorations from our first Christmas at our Highland, Utah home. In our Christmas Home Tour 2017 – A  Blue, Ivory, and Green Christmas, we share all the details below. We have a lot of blue in our decor so I used varying shades of blue, ivory, and green in my decor. All the sources I am able to link will be at the bottom of the post.

Entryway

I filled a metal container with faux greens and flowers and added two wreaths to the front door.

We added a painted pine cone pick and blueberry picks to the wreaths, then added light blue ribbon tied in a bow. I hung the wreaths with silver command strip hooks. Once you attach the hooks, let them sit for about twenty minutes before you hang the wreath.

The Living Room Tree

We layered green cedar picks, faux blueberry picks, an white frosted hydrangeas and wired them together to go on the tree. Then we wired them into the tree in one piece.

We used a variety of blue, ivory, and green ornaments.

Similar blue ornaments:

There were a few other ornaments in the tree of varying colors and for the ribbon we wired long pieces together and then wired them into the tree.

The Living Room Mantle

The secret to creating a mantle like this is to start with command strip hooks. We then hung the base garland and attached it to the command strip hooks. It works best if you put the lights on and fluff the garland first.

Once the base garland was secure we added in different pine and cedar picks and then blueberry picks.

Last, we hung the stockings underneath the garland and placed the sign next to the mirror. We can’t leave out the reason for the season so that’s why I placed this sign where we could see it.

Family Room Tree

For the family room tree I used teal blue, brown, and ivory ornaments and a 7.5 flocked tree.

Similar Ornaments:

The Family Room Mantle

For the family room mantle we used a base green garland attached with command strip hooks then added frosted pine and frosted eucalyptus picks. Next we added frosted white berry stems and frosted magnolia flowers stems.

Last, we added a few more stockings, a silver star, and more blue and ivory ribbon.

Kitchen and Dining Room Decor

We attached these frosted berry wreaths to the backs of the barstool chairs with the same blue ribbon I used in the family room mantle and living room tree.

I added some fresh flowers in a silver vases to brighten up the kitchen.

The side counter is perfect for my hot cocoa bar in the kitchen.

My Christmas Tablescape

We created this beautiful centerpiece garland and was able to use it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Once the holidays are over, I take out all the Christmas decor out of the garland and you can leave the table unset with just the garland or you can set a new table that is winter themed. Either way this garland is very versatile.

I set the table with my light blue everyday dinnerware and added silver and green accents.

Throw pillows on the end chairs tie in all the green colors throughout the house.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the details of our Christmas decor from out first year in the Highland house.

Here’s a few more photos!

Since my real name is Holly Jolley, I always have to have a sign that say “Have a Holly Jolley Christmas”.

I shared a lot of photos here so I apologize but I didn’t want to leave out any details. I always say that the beauty lies in the details so I shared everything here!
