It's Christmas time again! Christmas parties are one of the most popular events in December, but these get-togethers can be stressful to plan. You want your Christmas party to be perfect, with beautiful decorations and delicious food. But where do you start? The living room, dining room, or focus on whatever room has the tree to start? Make sure you follow these suggestions for decorating a Christmas party so that you have everything set up perfectly when guests arrive.
Decorating the Living Room:
The living room is usually the main gathering place for Christmas parties, so it's important to make sure it looks its best. Start by putting up a Christmas tree in one corner of the room. If you have limited space, consider using a tabletop Christmas tree instead. We have table sets that will make your room have a cohesive look. This table set from Ashley Furniture will be nice to set a tree on, with the other two tables used as a frame to hold more decorations. A circular end table would also be a nice touch to hold a smaller tree, and this end table from Ashley Furniture looks like a perfect fit.

A cozy sectional is a key piece of furniture to have in your home, especially if you are your family's designated "host". Check out this Buster 5-Piece Power Reclining Sectional, it's big enough for a whole family to pile on, and watch some Christmas movies. This Kellex 2-Piece Sectional is another piece that is in stock, and its snowy white color fits in well with a holiday palette. If you have a smaller space but are still having people over, the Fluffy Cloud 5-Piece Sectional from Austin's Couch Potatoes is comfy, and the perfect size to entertain an intimate guest list. A sectional will allow your Christmas party guests to relax, enjoy snacks and drinks, play games, chat with friends...you get the idea. Make sure you have enough seating for everyone!

Decorating the Dining Room:
The dining room is often where Christmas dinner is served, so it's important to make sure this space looks its best. One way to do this is by using a Christmas runner on the table. This Tuscany Extension Table is long enough for a runner and will fit your family at the table. This dining table from Heartland Heritage is also an Amish-made piece which means it's made of genuine wood all the way through and was built with family in mind.
A bar cart would also be a nice touch in the dining room or another room in your home. You can decorate this cart with Christmas drink garnishes, bottles of wine or champagne, and the glasses guests will be drinking out of. In addition, with its mobility, you can push it around to wherever the crowd of people gathers making it a useful piece for a party.

Decorating the Bedroom:
If you're throwing a Christmas party in your home, you may also want to decorate the bedroom. This is a great place to put up a Christmas tree and hang some Christmas stockings. You can also add some Christmas lights to the bed frame or dresser for a touch of holiday cheer. This vintage-styled metal bed by Samuel Frederick Furniture has a frame that is easy to decorate and loop some lights or garland around if you so desire.

No matter where you choose to decorate for Christmas, you'll be able to create the perfect Christmas party atmosphere.
Make sure that all decorations will not damage your home furniture and flooring. Take care of electrical connections in advance so no one gets hurt during preparations. And finally, have fun! Christmas is a time to be with family and friends, so relax and enjoy the party.
