This living room, decorated for Christmas, is a beautiful example of simple Christmas decor. It is classic simplicity for those who prefer to keep things understated.

From Canadian House and Home, an understated living room is given a shot of punch with bright purple and orange toss cushions. The jewel tones are reiterated in the orange holiday ornaments on the ottoman to give a burst of cheer to the neutral palette.

A small and simple table top tree sits in front of the window, while the mantle is adorned, but with classic simplicity – a simple evergreen garland is swagged over the mantle, free of a lot of frou-frou, and a small silver-white ornamental Christmas tree stands on each end of the mantle top.

 Garland, Snowflakes, Candles and Cone Trees… and a partridge in a pear tree…? A Christmas Mantel decorated with faux pine garland lit with cluster lights and dangling snowflake ornaments. A row of 15 tea light candles glow on the hearth. And on either side of the fireplace are decorative Chrismtas trees, a glittering silver cone tree to one side, and a miniature pine tree to the other. It sounds a little ecclectic by the written word, but when you look at it, it all comes together nicely into one beautiful and cohesive display.

Christmas Mantel With Lime Decorations and Garland of Magnolia Leaves:  

A simple but beautiful garland of magnolia leaves swags across this white mantel, framing it in green.  Three wide glass cylinder vases are positioned on the top of the mantel, equally spaced, and filled with limes. A tall clear glass cylinder vase of pale red tropical flowers is placed at the center of the hearth of the fireplace, and the same tropical flowers are pinned to the garland at each edge of the mantel top. Its a bit of an eclectic combination really – and yet, it works.

What do you think? Would you keep the tropical flowers on this one or lose them?

Red Christmas tree cones against a white wall and mantel.

Red cones are placed on the floor next to the white mantel, and lend a sense of balance to offset the red chair on the other side. A round red famed mirror makes the space above the mantel pop.

A trio of red wreaths look spectacular hung above this white mantel.
