Living rooms are a perfect place to settle the holiday decor. Usually, there is a sofa with pillows that can be substituted with Christmas themed ones. The table can also be arranged according to the Christmas tradition.
Holiday Sofa Pillows
As we have already said, pillows are amazing in their ability to add a holiday flair in the room. A great idea is to combine giant metallic silk pillows and smaller in size ones that have been made in red, white and black patterns.
Ornament Lamps

Main Color Scheme
Black and white has the ability to become either a main color scheme or have a secondary identity, depending on the visual angel. Entering the house, the homeowners and their guests are welcomed by the strong presence of red and green. The traditional lines are broken up by black and white splashes. On the other hand, when one goes into the main living spaces, like the living room, he will immediately note that black and white prevail. This gradient change in the colorful composition is a fantastic professional way to play with colors and follow one strict main color scheme.
Contrasting Ornaments
Placing the Christmas tree decorations you should know one very simple rule, if using black and white of course. Black usually blends in, while white ornaments always stand out. The key to success is to form clusters of ornaments where one or two black components always accompany a white one.
Striped Poinsettias

Patterned Skirt
Tree skirts are another great way to make your personal experiment in having black and white decor. It is obvious that until the Holy Night, the tree skirt will remain without any presents and gifts, thus exposing the skirt at a clear view. When Christmas Eve comes and Santa Claus puts the gifts at the tree, you will hardly see it. An interesting approach to play with colors is to use black in a mix with another typical accent color, like red for example. Then, when putting presents in white colors you will have your visual contrast of black and white. Clever, isn’t it?

Plaid Tree Skirt
Plaid or tartan tree skirt are fantastic substitutes to the traditional reindeer and showflakes theme. It somehow creates a masculine look in the interior while keeping the overall appearance of the holiday decor unisex.
Natural-Toned Tree Decor

Lighted Focal Point
This lighting installation has been created form industrial globe string lights and cardboard letters. They strengthen the graphic impact in the interior of the room and become a focal point in the room. Of course, this happens when the letters are illuminated.

Bold Tree Pots
As an addition to the main Christmas tree, you can have several small cypress or juniper trees. Don’t overload them with decorations, just keep the things simple and elegant, instead. Choosing a black or white pot expects a few metallic or red ornaments as a tree decoration. If you want to make the trees a strong colorful accent in the room, place them in red or green pots. This time, make sure you have black and white tree ornaments. This way, you will get the needed balance in the colorful composition of the entire home.
