Christmas Living Room 2020

Interior decorator and home blogger Liz Fourez shares her beautiful Christmas tree and living room

light, bright & cozy…

That’s exactly how I would describe our living room for Christmas this year. I was waiting for the time to finish a few big projects in here before I shared this space with you, and while it’s not 100% complete yet, it’s perfect for now. The tree is up, the stockings are hung, and soon our little family will be celebrating here together. Welcome inside, sweet friends…

The big project I was hoping to complete before Christmas was moving the white bookshelf on the wall behind the sofa and adding a second one to create a beautiful backdrop for artwork and accessories. You may remember the DIY art shelf that was here before, and while I absolutely loved having that shelf to play with, these bookshelves fill the space so much better. 

I gave the new IKEA bookshelf the same custom backing as I did the first one, exchanging the flimsy piece of cardboard that comes with the furniture for sturdier, more visually appealing vertical shiplap (a.k.a. pine 1×4’s). 

Once the Christmas tree is gone and I can center the bookshelves on this wall, I plan to add a little bit of molding to give it a more “built-in” look. And I also have another idea up my sleeve that I’m SO excited to try!

For my tree this year, I decided to keep it on the minimal side, using a mixture of:

large pearl & matte bulbs
chunky cream knit garland
oversized pearl strands
my homemade clay ornaments
a few natural touches of pinecone & wood
some snowglobes
and pieces of white & baby blue ribbon tied onto the branches

I hadn’t planned on adding that soft blue to the tree this year, but when I found the prettiest blue wrapping paper at Target this year, I decided to carry the color up through the Christmas tree as well. Ribbon is such an easy way to do this, as it’s less expensive than ornaments, easy to store, and you can change the color ribbon from year to year without much expense or effort.

We spend a lot of time snuggled up here right now, watching Christmas movies and playing board games. Of course our little guy, Remy, is enjoying all the added coziness too in his favorite nap spot.

    Your decorations are great. I like the tree trimmed in white it is very attractive. The vignette is perfect for the setting. Enjoy your Christmas in that lovely decorated room.

I have all the details in today’s blog post including:
- how I customized the bookshelves
- where I found my plug-in lights
- the biggest tip I’ve learned for styling shelves like these
- plus sources for everything you see here (including the new coffee table I’m obsessed with)

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this project!! Do you love bookcase lighting as much as I do?

I hope you had a wonderful, restful weekend! I wan I hope you had a wonderful, restful weekend! I wanted to kick the week off with one of my favorite winter decorating tips. Once all the holiday decor is gone, I always crave clean & simple spaces. But soon the house goes from feeling soothing to slightly boring, and I need something to breathe a little life back into our home. Do you ever feel the same?

The easy answer: PLANTS. Faux, real... whatever works for you. It’s the perfect detail to get us through the dreariness of winter and ready for spring. I’m always a fan of faux because they’re just easier, but I do really love this sweet little angel vine I’ve had for several years now!

What’s your favorite house plant? And also,  how easy is it to keep alive? 🌿
