Christmas is all about twinkling lights, shiny ornaments, glitter, and sparkle! You can make your sofa light up with sequin pillows that practically reflect every light bulb, flickering candle, or twinkle light like a disco ball.

Color Is Everything

Draping bursts of color over your sofa can make it take on a whole new look in seconds! Drape a deep red throw blanket over the top or even running along the middle of the sofa to ignite it with some holiday hues.

Hang up a Wreath!

You don’t even need to touch your sofa to dress it up this way! Place a festive wreath right above your sofa and tie a big red bow to tie the whole look together. When it comes to holiday wall decor, there is nothing better than a nice juicy wreath!

Cozy Up With Fur

Throw on a few sheepskin hides over your sofa or even a few fur pillows to make your seating area look more inviting and intimate. Even if your couch looks plain and boring, you’d be surprised at how just adding a few cute accessories can really give it some life!
