Winter Decor For The Living Room

January 5, 2017 By Meegan 6 Comments

Sometimes just after the Holidays, you aren’t quite ready to take down all of your Christmas decor. So, why don’t you create some Winter Decor For The Living Room?

Winter Decor For The Living Room is pretty simple to create.

With a little imagination, a few Christmas decorations, and your own home decor, you can have a stunning living room in no time at all.

To add a Winter vignette on my coffee table. I used a Christmas crystal wreath and a vintage oil can as the centerpiece. Adding a few greenery pieces, faux hydrangeas and mercury glass votives I had the Winter look I was hoping for.

I like the sage greenery which adds a softer Winter look and feel.

Oh my! Wooden bead garlands are all the rage in farmhouse home decor right now. I happen to win one in an Instagram contest. How fun is that? I like to use my wooden bead garland in all my decorating now.

Creating a pretty vignette on my coffee table turned out so pretty, with just a few Christmas decorations and what I already have in my home.

I found this 6 cup muffin tin at the thrift store. As soon as I saw it, my creative juices started flowing. There are MORE ideas right here.

Create a Winter Slumber Chalkboard with a beautiful frame and a cereal box. I know, sounds crazy, but it works perfectly.

Mix in pine cones, vintage jars, and Epsom salt for a Winter vignette. You can see that I used the crystal wreath for my shelves. These simple ideas will help your Winter Decor For The Living Room become a welcoming area.

Tiny little crystals add just a small touch of glitter and glimmer. I believe I bought these at Hobby Lobby.

To welcome your Winter guests, add crisp blue pots right outside your front door. Place evergreens in them, along with succulents and pine cones. For a fun touch, add a sweet red cardinal right on top.

Your own Winter Decor For The Living Room will be impressive and stunning using your imagination.

What do you think you will try first?

Have a wonderful day and enjoy more Winter tips below.

Christmas Decorating Tour

Welcome to my Christmas Decorating Tour. I have always had a love of Vintage Christmas decorating. It might be because I grew up at a time with the Christmas decorations were all from the 40s and 50s. It was about 20-40 years old then. But it is what I grew up with so it is written upon my Christmas soul.

At Grandma and Grandpa’s house on Christmas Eve, our imaginations would go wild. As we sat by the Christmas tree with twinkling lights and the train going around and around the tree. The train whistle would blow and some how smoke would blow out of the stack.

It was magical and wondrous. Grandpa would play Christmas carols on the piano, the turkey was cooking in the oven and the rolls were rising on the counter.

The vintage pieces that I am drawn to are chippy, worn and colorful. Everything from colorful to faded and torn with some glitter thrown it there too.
