Living Room for Holiday Fun

As the holidays quickly approach, it’s time for you to start preparing your house for guests.
There’s still plenty of time to create the perfect living room space to host your holiday
gatherings. If you’re looking to elevate your home in preparation for the holiday season, whether
it be a small or large transformation, here are three ways you can achieve it.

Add Festive Decorations

Living room for your gathering

When you begin decorating your home for the holidays, be sure to incorporate festive
decorations throughout all areas of your house, especially your living room. This is an easy and
effective way to set the holiday mood for your guests during a holiday gathering. Outdoor
greenery such as a tree is often the focal point for the decor in a living room, while this definitely
adds beauty to the room, it’s also important to not forget about the power of adding a few other
decorations as well. Consider adding holiday throw pillows to your seating, burning scented
candles, and of course, turning the fireplace on to make the room cozy. As you start decorating
your house, get creative by incorporating your favorite holiday patterns or colors as this is an
easy way to express your personality to your guests.

Update Your Furniture

While you start hosting these holiday gatherings, your guests’ comfort is in your hands and this
may mean it’s time to update the furniture in your living room. When you begin searching for
new seating, take into consideration the size of the space and the various ways you can
incorporate seating. For example, if your space is smaller, consider purchasing a sectional sofa
that can easily fit into the corner of the room or an ottoman that can double as storage and an
additional seating place, with the ability to be moved throughout the room. When choosing
which furniture you’ll implement in your living room, consider options that will increase social
interaction rather than isolate individuals from one another. When it comes to finding a way to
finance your furniture upgrades, there are various options. In-store financing or a home equity
line of credit may be worthy of consideration depending on the extent of your upgrades. The
holidays can be costly, therefore finding ways to save money when upgrading your furniture can
help the longevity of your finances.

Declutter The Space

Since the holiday season is beginning, now is the perfect time to deep clean and declutter your
living room. If you are like most, this is something that you may have neglected up until now. As
you begin celebrating the holidays and hosting friends and family, the living room becomes a
central gathering point for conversations. Removing unnecessary clutter is important because it

can limit movement space for others and decrease socialization amongst your guests. During
this process, take your time in determining what you feel is necessary to keep in your living
room and what you feel comfortable removing. Storing away items that are not likely needed
throughout the gathering such as charging chords and blankets is a great start. While going
through your belongings, if you come across items that have not been used for some time,
consider donating them as a way to completely remove them from your house. After you’re
finished decluttering the space, you’ll be able to focus on the areas that are in need of deep
cleaning.
