My final Christmas decorating idea is to add festive throw pillows to your family room or living room. This is an easy way to add holiday spirit in unexpected places. Decorating for the holidays can be done in layers taking advantage of all the surfaces in your home.
The family room shown in these pictures, I have added green and red pillows on a neutral sofa. The pillows have a satin sheen to them which gives the room a subtle festive look. The colors coordinate with the room's color scheme which makes it possible to put the pillows out early in the holiday season and you don't need to put them away until well after the new year.
The leather sofa in this picture has a hint of the holidays with a brown and green pillow and a red throw behind it. The petals on this pillow has a lot of texture and adds interest to this dark sofa. All the pillows above were purchased at TJ Maxx in the pillow section not the holiday section. I searched for the colors I wanted to use, not what the store deemed holiday decor.
I have included some other pillow designs to help you choose the right pillows for your holiday design. The beaded white pillow adds sparkle and shine. The red, green and brown pillows are a more contemporary options. Have a great holiday season.
