Christmas Red

I really like this room decorated in Christmas red. I always like to see red used in holiday decorations. I love the tree and other decorations. Looks like a real home. Love the lived in cozy look. There are no major changes needed for me. 🥰

Beautiful room! Love the decorations.

I don't "get" those high windows.....wouldn't want to dust those sills or clean the glass!

Very warm and cozy. Yes, it looks like a real home.

Not a fan of a 2 story house, but I do like the room and especially the use of red.

@alicedee. Those are called clerestory windows and are very big in Southwest architecture. Here's a little info on their purpose.

How do clerestory windows work?

Because they are placed high up compared to other windows, clerestories can deliver sunlight far deeper into a living space than normal vertical glazing. Their main function is twofold: they deliver extra daylighting and they provide a method of heating thermal mass in north walls which would normally be in shade

Thanks @Kachina624 ! I learn stuff here every day.

I always worry that my house is too cluttered, until I see some of these rooms. However, I do like the hutch and the afghan.

Magenta and aqua/turquoise say Christmas to me because when I was growing up that's what mother did--on a flocked white tree.

Mother always marched to her own drummer. I love that I see this color combination a lot in lighting in our area.

A happy Christmas room, love everything about it. A real room for a real family.

I agree with the majority; it's a beautiful room, warm and welcoming. Lovely without being overdone.

I was trying to see what's in that basket in the corner. Is it a dog with a santa hat on? Or another cushion? Too fuzzy to see, when enlarged.

This is a very pretty Christmas Room. I am not a fan of red after Christmas but this works for sure.

The tree is pretty and I like the throw. I don't much care for anything else. Agree, don't like the double height room with upper windows, the furniture or most of the remaining holiday decorating. Just sort of pedestrian.

Red is my favorite color any time of the year. @wilma , the room looks beautiful. It looks like a real inviting, cozy place to be!

I love that room. Very relaxed and inviting.

Love seeing it decorated Christmas. An extra foot between each piece of furniture would be nice.

I like it very much.

Only thing missing is the hot chocolate or mulled apple cider. Yum!
