How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your living room in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Evergreen (#2F4A34) for tree, garlands, wreaths.
- 3Leave breathing room: empty surface space is what makes styled objects look deliberate.
- 4Bring in fresh or faux evergreen garlands and wreaths and warm white led string lights — the two signature materials of Christmas design.
- 5Add one statement piece: dressed christmas tree with a tree skirt or collar.
- 6Finish with cream white (#F6F1E7) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials
- Fresh or faux evergreen garlands and wreaths
- Warm white LED string lights
- Velvet ribbons and stockings
- Glass and metallic ornaments
- Natural pinecones and dried citrus
Furniture to look for
- Dressed Christmas tree with a tree skirt or collar
- Mantel garland with stockings and candles
- Festive table runner with a centerpiece
- Wreath and lantern arrangement at the front door
- Plaid or knit throw pillows and blankets
Mistakes to avoid
- Pushing all furniture against the walls, which leaves a dead empty zone in the middle of the room.
- Choosing a rug that is too small, making the seating area look like it is floating apart.
- Relying on a single overhead light, which flattens the room and creates harsh shadows.
Budget tips
- Rearrange existing furniture before buying anything — a new layout costs nothing and changes everything.
- Spend on the sofa and rug first; side tables, lamps and decor can be budget finds.
- Paint one accent wall instead of the whole room to cut paint cost and effort by three quarters.
