3 Themes to Style Your Home This Christmas

The countdown to Christmas is on, and it’s time to start styling your home for the festive season! From warm weather to long summer nights, this time of year is all about creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. If your Christmas décor could use a refresh, Koala Living is here to inspire you. Whether your style is understated, rustic, glam, or full of vibrant colour, we have ideas that will elevate your home.

To help you embrace the holiday spirit, we’ve put together three on-trend themes to bring festive cheer into your space: a Snowy White Christmas, a Rustic Dining Experience, and Luxe Décor. Choose your theme and let the magic of Christmas flow throughout your home.

A White Christmas

This season, frosted Christmas trees are all the rage—natural, snow-dusted trees that bring a touch of winter magic to your home. When it comes to decorating, the choice is yours, offering endless possibilities to create the perfect look. We’ve chosen a modern glam approach, using hints of Tiffany blue baubles, white accents, and silver ornaments to achieve an elegant and festive atmosphere. Pairing this look with our Vogue Sofa, the peacock blue velvet enhances the décor, making the ornaments truly stand out and bringing the whole theme together.

With a white style scheme, layering is key to enriching the room’s ambiance. Incorporate textures like our Callie Sofa to add a cosy and stylish touch, creating a warm backdrop for the festive decorations. Play with metallic elements and shapes to enhance visual depth, while big candle holders double as ornament displays. Even the wrapping paper can be tied into the room’s colour palette for a cohesive and sophisticated finish. The result is a chic, inviting space that’s perfectly dressed for the holidays.

Rustic Charm

If you’re aiming to bring rustic charm to your space this Christmas, start with the dining room—a warm, inviting area to gather with loved ones. Creating a dreamy, rustic festive table is all about blending natural materials, textures, and thoughtful décor for an effortlessly cosy vibe.

Wooden furniture is key to achieving that rustic feel. A wooden dining table, like our Ginny Dining Table, instantly warms up the room and sets an inviting tone—perfect for sharing a lavish Christmas meal. Pair it with complementary textures to enhance the rustic atmosphere. We’ve chosen our khaki Henry Dining Chairs in plush velvet, adding a modern touch that balances elegance with comfort while enhancing the natural wood’s warmth.

To complete the look, layer different textures for napkins and table runners—linen, burlap, or cotton bring an earthy touch that works beautifully with greenery and other neutral accents. Combine your décor with the food for a layered, multi-dimensional effect; mixing elements of varying heights adds visual interest and richness to the table. The result is a modern rustic setting that’s warm, inviting, and guaranteed to impress your guests this Christmas.

The Luxe Feel

Infuse your living room with an air of luxury this festive season by creating a space that exudes elegance and sophistication. Start by taking inspiration from our Kelly Couch, a true embodiment of class and style. To enhance the luxe atmosphere, opt for a modern twist on a Christmas tree, such as a twig-style tree adorned with metallic cream and gold decorations. Gift wrapping in gold and brown paper tied with matte gold ribbons seamlessly ties into this theme, while subtle hints of cream or champagne accents complete the look, elevating your décor to a new level of elegance.

For those who prefer a traditional Christmas tree but still want a modern interior feel, pair it with contemporary furniture for a balanced aesthetic. Our Walter Armchair in rich chocolate brown, paired with the sleek Chelsea Side Table, adds a hint of mid-century glam—making the festive setup warm, stylish, and perfect for the season.

Whether you lean toward classic décor or prefer a more modern approach, creativity is the key to achieving that luxe feel. Embrace an extravagant tree with rich detailing or keep it simple yet stunning with a minimalistic twig tree. Either way, your home will radiate festive elegance, making it the perfect backdrop for a holiday to remember.
