If you are an avid admirer of home décor, you already know how dynamic a living room is. This room can be used as a home entertainment center, a gathering area for guests, or simply a place to relax. Compared to other areas of the house, your living room allows for more creativity, personality, and uniqueness in the layout. 

For some homeowners, a living room can be difficult to decorate because there are so many design possibilities. A popular approach is to use current décor trends as a starting point. The trends will lead you to wholesale home décor retailers, where you can browse through different collections. Once a few interesting items have caught your eye, you can narrow down the options for your living room decorations.

From minimalist home décor products to Instagram-ready artistic expressions, the latest interior design trends are wide and varied. Let’s check out the top ten trending living room decorations this season!

1. Bookends

A popular décor trend is adding a small book collection in between a sophisticated pair of bookends. The bookends fit just as well on a mounted shelf as they do on a coffee table. The book collection expresses some of your interests in a subtle and classy way. Even if you aren’t a big reader, fill your book collection with biographies of people you admire. The books can serve as conversation starters between yourself and any guests. 

2. Clean edges

The Scandinavian style of home décor is trendy right now. Many homeowners enjoy the aesthetic characterized predominantly by clean edges and lines. Usually, the clean edges apply to furniture, but the idea can also apply to décors, such as boxes, storage organizers, and lamps. Through edges and lines, you get a very organized and directional feel to your living room.

3. Faux greenery

Artificial plants and faux flowers open up many possibilities on how to bring in vibrant textures. If you have the time to care for a real plant, that’s even better. To enhance the living room décor with plants, blend in other materials like wood, stones, and crystals. A small waterfall is also a fun decoration, but you should be careful about overembellishing. Too many accessories may detract from the beauty of your plants.

4. Wall art

What you hang on your wall takes up no additional space in the room. If you have a small living room, use the wall space to decorate wisely. A large photograph, an art canvas, or signage are all great ideas. If you aren’t renting, you may also want to take things to the next level with decals or wallpaper. For those artistically inclined, an abstract mural can accentuate a wall and introduce a new look to your living room.

5. Area rugs

A rug is another way you can decorate a living room without taking up square footage. Place the rug underneath your furniture to make the area feel cozier. For larger living rooms, you may choose to use multiple rugs. Layering rugs is also occasionally done, although it takes an astute eye to pull off this trendy décor style.

6. Throw pillows

Throw pillows, blankets, and fabrics help to make a living room feel lived-in. They can also be rotated in and out according to the season, so you can play around with colors and textures. For example, a throw pillow that may feel so warm and cozy in winter won’t be right for summer. For the more ambitious home decorator, a rotation of living room looks will always keep the décor looking fresh.

7. Candles & lanterns

Lights don’t have to be so bland. A minimalist candle or stylish lantern serves as both a living room décor and a warm way to light the room. You can mount or hang a lantern, positioning it where you need lighting the most. By optimizing your light arrangements, you create a more intriguing living room with an atmospheric ambiance.

8. Centerpiece

In every living room, try to find an object, sculpture, artwork, or centerpiece that acts as a talking point for the room. Find an item that is most representative of you as a person. The centerpiece adds uniqueness to the home décor so that your living room doesn’t just follow what’s trendy right now.

9. Planter

A small planter can add style, color, and shape. There are many Instagram-friendly, photo-ready plants available in wholesale home décor retailers. Contrary to expectations, your planter doesn’t necessarily have to contain a plant either. You can leave your planter empty, keeping it available for any small knick-knacks, keys, loose change, or buttons. 

10. Window curtains

The right window curtains will help to filter light, control temperature, and add a pleasant dynamic to a living room. Fabric curtains are arguably preferred over shutters or blinds, but you can make anything work in the right décor context. Alternatively, you can repurpose old fabric to make your own customized curtains.

The living room is the central space in the home. It should feature comforting design elements that create a homely and welcoming ambiance. 

Create a plush and vibrant atmosphere in your living room by utilizing some or all of the tips outlined in this article. 

Here are five effective ways to create a comfortable, plush, and welcoming ambiance in your living room. 

Colour and Texture 

When you walk into a room, the colors and textures instantly catch your eye. From the wall color to the fabrics chosen, using the right colors and textures can transform the look and feel of your living room. 

If you choose neutral shades, add pops of color to compliment your chosen color theme and use fabrics like velvet and satin to add a luxury feel to your living room space. 

Furniture 

Furniture is the key component that will transform your living room from drab to bold and luxurious. Add velvet-covered stools and leather ottomans. Your couch should make a statement and it should be durable, functional, and stylish. A performance velvet sofa is a good choice, especially if you want style, practicality, and durability. Decorate your couch with throw cushions and decorative fabric to add a welcoming, elegant element to your living room. 

Art 

Decorate your walls with art that fits your taste and style. Purchase unique pieces from local artists, thrift stores, and art markets. You can also find some interesting pieces online or create your own personalized wall art. 

Create a photo wall by gathering memorable photos of your loved ones and framing them with antique picture frames or homemade DIY frames

Accessories 

Accessories compliment the room and reinforce the design elements in the space. For example, a neutral space with a grey accent wall would look great with Fuschia pink, yellow or turquoise accessories. 

Throw cushions, lamps, ornaments, and vases are good choices for your living space. 

Lighting 

Lighting changes everything, you can transform the whole mood of a space just by focusing on lighting design. Soft lighting instantly adds a plush, romantic vibe to the room. Add a distinctive edge by including thrift store finds like vintage lampshades, candle holders, and lanterns. 

Floor Rugs 

Floor rugs make a room feel cozy and inviting. Soft, fluffy rugs or luxury cashmere rugs in bold colors will instantly give your living space that plush and vibrant edge. 

Creating a plush and vibrant living room doesn’t have to be difficult. Add a personal touch and focus on playing with color and texture. Search for unique fabrics in thrift stores, markets, and fabric stores. Add bold accessories, distinctive wall art, memorable pictures, and luxury floor rugs to give your living room a whole new vibe. Pay close attention to the lighting and create a welcoming ambiance using soft lighting and accessories such as lamps, lanterns, and candles. 

High-quality furniture is a must, choose fabrics like velvet, satin, and leather to complement the accessories and statement pieces in the room.

When you move into a new home you are facing lots of challenging situations when it comes to picking the right furniture pieces and using the best available space. Once you are done with that you may think that your job there is done, but then you face the empty windowless wall in the living room and you are clueless again.

Are you finding it hard to come to terms with a boring wall in the most frequently used room in the house? There are plenty of ways to add style and bring excitement to your living room. By incorporating some stunning art prints or other wall treatments you will be able to give your walls the attention they truly deserve. 

What is the best way to spruce up drab walls?

Wall art will help you personalize your room.

Some beautiful wall art pieces might be a great way to add a modern look to your space. To add instant art to your living room, choose complementary colors that complement the base shades in your room.

Wood may be used to add warmth.

Woodwork is an elegant improvement that also adds warmth. Depending on the scale, staining, and spacing of the paneling, it can skew contemporary or traditional.

Add Beautiful Stone.

No one can deny the allure of a stone-clad wall in any space. It instantly adds character and much-needed charm to a space. This wall treatment is also appropriate for kitchen backsplashes, making it a versatile option. Install a stone-clad wall behind your TV unit and see how your guests respond.

Think about turning it into a brick wall.

Exposed brick has long been a sought-after accent wall material in historic structures and lofts. The good news is that brick veneer has come a long way and can now be found in almost every theme, from modern to antique, at a fraction of the cost of the real thing.

Grab the paint.

Paint is the quickest way to revitalize a room, whether you choose a solid color to cover all four surfaces, a bright color for an accent wall, or an unusual visual effect, such as stripes. Bonus: It’s also the simplest finish to apply and adjust depending on your mood.

Add mirrors.

Mirrors, which reflect light and create the illusion of additional space, are the fastest way to make a room appear larger. A wall of mirrored frames adds a worldly patina as well as a sleek elegance.

Cover the wall with a wallpaper.

Wallpaper has undoubtedly grown since the time of our ancestors. With the textures and patterns, it has a lot of potential for adding dimension to a small room. Any wallpaper style can be used to produce a variety of atmospheres.

With these fascinating wall treatment ideas, you can breathe new life into your dull living room and turn it into a super modern and comfortable spot for the whole family! Do you already know what you are going to do with the empty wall in your living room?

Choosing a coffee table is not that easy. In addition to the aesthetic criteria, there are quite a few technical details to take into account. And because this piece is in the center of a leisure area – the place for gatherings in any home, it must be both functional and well thought out. That’s why now is exactly the time to look into the matter!

Source

1. The shape

There is something for everyone: round, oval, square, rectangular, triangular, indefinite in shape. This is not just a matter of taste, each shape has its advantages and disadvantages.

– Round and oval shapes are more suitable for children and for more restricted spaces, because they can easily be bypassed.

– Square and round shapes are more user-friendly for meals with friends, for example, because everyone is at the same distance from the center of the table.

– Rectangular and elongated shapes are preferred for spacious lounges, ideal between two large sofas facing each other.

2. The height

We often think that a coffee table’s height is standard, like that of a dining table. Yes but no. In a living room, the height of the seats can vary greatly, and this will influence the height of the coffee table. The rule of thumb is that a coffee table should be at the same height as the lowest seat in the living room.

If your coffee table needs to do a little more or a little less than this measurement, let it better be a little lower. Obviously, it’s also a question of use: if you eat all your meals on your coffee table, there is no point in breaking your back while eating 20 cm from the ground. But if discussing the purely decorative spirit, this decision looks more aesthetic and harmonious, allowing not to overcrowd the space and soften the lines.

3. How many of them?

You don’t have to limit yourself to one coffee table, our specialists always recommend having a second small side table to put down your book, a small mood lamp or your glass of wine on, when you are a little far from the main table.

This side table can be completely different from the coffee table, in another style, another material, another color, and also a little higher, at armrest height, for example.

4. The material

Raw wood, laminate, glass, metal, plastic, etc. The possibilities are numerous. There are, however, a few things to know to help you decide:

– Wood is a natural material, it immediately brings warmth and authenticity to a room. It is the easiest material to combine, it goes with all styles: Scandinavian, bohemian, country, rustic, industrial, vintage, contemporary;

– Metal is often mixed with another material ( wood or glass). By its color, it will either have a rather industrial / loft connotation, or a more chic and elegant spirit (especially with gold and brass);

– Laminate is the main material of most commercial furniture. It is less chic, but also less expensive, super resistant and easy to maintain,  if you have children who draw on tables, a husband who regularly spills his glass of wine, or a cat who uses their claws where they shouldn’t;

Glass: perfect for lightening a space. It also gives an elegant touch, especially when paired with metal;

– Stone gives character to a room. This material is perfect for adding marble chic or some concrete industrial vibes.

5. Storage capacity

A coffee table can also be used as storage space, especially for a stack of magazines, or all those little things that you never really know where to store (remote controls, batteries, take-away menus, duplicate keys.

So, of course, it would be handy to have a drawer or a shelf under your coffee table. Still, avoid turning it into a full-fledged storage unit. Not only because your table risks being very massive and making a bit of a concrete block placed in the middle of your living room, but also because the more room you have to store, the more you store, you accumulate … and you become messy .

So choose a model with one drawer or a double tray to be able to store a few magazines, or use a pretty box, but keep in mind that your coffee table is the center of attention in your living room.

6. The originality

Think outside the box! Can’t find what you are looking for despite all these tips? Well that’s good! Look beyond the pages of coffee table catalogs, and invent your own: a large plank of raw wood placed on metal feet, casters screwed under an old pallet, a composition in wine boxes, cut wooden logs at the right height, a bench found in an online catalog like nyfurnitureoutlets.com, a large ottoman, a chest. As long as there is a flat surface, and you like it, it works!

THE ADDITIONAL TIP: ACCESSORIZATION

The armchair has its blanket, the sofa has its tribe of cushions, the sideboard has its little decorative trinkets … your coffee table also deserves a little attention!

It can be 2 or 3 pretty books placed in a pile, a small series of candles, a bouquet of scented flowers, or a beautiful trinket.

We advise leaving 2 or 3 small objects lying around, because you’ll need the extra space for practical and user-friendly reasons! If you have several tables: take the opportunity to leave one completely free.

We hope these little ideas have helped you in your choice. !

In the winter cold days, it can get pretty drab. I know it’s pretty tempting to buy some fresh beautiful flowers from the corner store, but why not consider some winter-blooming plants.

African Violet

Source

African violets are one of the easiest flower plants to grow, particularly because they adjust well to the drier air often found indoors. It is best to keep it close to a window facing north, to do well in. They like locations with more natural light, but a south-facing window would be far too hot for them. These are relatively compact plants, but they are present in many trailing varieties.

Jasmine

Source

Jasmine typically blooms in the spring through fall but is often sold in stores during the winter months in bloom. If you want to produce winter blossoms in your home, you will need to give your jasmine a period of rest during fall. Nights should be dark, as any light, like streetlights or indoor lights, can affect the growth. Once it blooms, prune it back quite heavily, which in general is a very good practice since jasmine tends to grow unwieldy.

Desert Rose

Source

Desert Roses have bright, showy flowers that are quite stunning. They can bloom at any time, and in winter too! During their period, the plant can become pretty bare, dropping leaves, until there is new regrowth in the summer months. If you place the Desert Rose outdoors during the summer it will begin to sprout plenty of new leaves. Once the temperature starts to drop, bring it indoors and beautiful flowers will begin to emerge.

Lipstick plant

Source

Lipstick plants in the home often and they are best kept in a partially shady area. Because these are originally epiphytic plants, the best soil would be a mixture of sphagnum and potting soil. The plants prefer a warm, humid environment with some good light. This will mimics more of their native environment, tucked away in some damp forests. To encourage buds, you could keep them at 65° to 70°F, though in winter, they can be cooler and drier. After they flower, it is best to prune their stems back to a height of 6″ to encourage new growth.

Poinsettia

Source

The Poinsettia’s flowers are the inconspicuous little yellow buds that are subtended by the stunning red, white and pink bracts. These plants are most of the time-tossed after the holidays, but you can continue having the Poinsettia around your home. If you take care of it well, it may even turn into a shrub. The key to taking care of this beautiful plant is to keep it in a warm place since it hates drafts. And also it needs to be in a sunny area but kept away from the hot afternoon sun.

String-of-Pearls

Source

This beautiful succulent is a member of the Asteraceae family and prefers to be in well-drained soil for succulents. It doesn’t mind being in slightly colder conditions in the winter, around 50°F, but keep your plant near a drafty window and it will still put out great flowers. It’s not atypical for these plants to die down after some years, so if you see signs, just make a cutting and it’ll restart the plant and it’ll look gorgeous.

Are you planning to redecorate your living room with a focus on your fireplace? You want to make a cozy and warm living room atmosphere? Here are some ideas for you to create a wonderful looking home with only focusing on the fire mantle and the surrounding space.

Wall paint colors

Why don’t you use wall paint to color your fireplace? It will be easy and it won’t take much time to do it. Choose colors like mustard yellow, navy blue, or sage green to paint your fireplace. These colors will bring an elegant look to the living room. Don’t forget to add decorative touches to highlight your mantel by hanging antique mirrors, vintage paintings, or filling it with beautiful lush plants.

Minimalism

If you go for the minimalistic look, you can create a boho mantel. Try to be selective as much as possible and keep your décor to the minimum so that the walls can be the spotlight. On the mantel, install shiplap backing above and below the mantel and place a small stack of trinkets, such as books, vases, and candles. The whole space will look unique with these artsy combinations.

Scandinavian vibe

Do you want to add a bit of a Scandinavian vibe to your house? To get that, put neutral pieces on your mantel. For example, a stack of books, branches, and greenery. Create different levels of a design scheme by using props and pictures in different places up at different heights. This will bring a Scandinavian vibe to your living room.

A letter board

Add a letter board with an interesting quote and replace the pine cone garland with something seasonally appropriate. Propping up a letter board with a fun quote is a great way to welcome guests into your home and show off your wit. You can also add a small lamp and mirror, which can help throw light around your mantel space.

Choose a maximalistic look

If you want to go all the way and fill up your fireplace mantle, then do it. Decorate it to the maximum. You can add whatever you like and every piece of collectibles that you have. Everything you place on your wall will bring out your personality and taste. Go for place topiaries, fresh or dried flowers, candles, and a big mirror to be your focal point.

Add a classical look with a big clock

Add a traditional touch by placing a big round clock above your mantle. Frame photos or floral ornaments are a good option to keep it more personal and modest.

Mirror

With a mirror, you can never go wrong. Adding it above the mantle will beam a natural light across your living room and make it look bigger. It will bring a natural element to your space. With the mirror, combine a beautiful brass piece, a mini-bust, few feathers, a nice stack of books, and a plant on your mantle. With this combination, you will have a natural design look and freshness in your living room space.

The most essential room in your house, especially concerning decorating, is the living room. This is a space where you will spend most of your free time, enjoy holidays with your family and loved ones, entertain guests, throw parties, and celebrate joyous occasions. Since there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration, decorating your living room can be a bit of a challenge.

Source

The following tips will guide you through all the essentials you need to know when it comes to living room decor. They will help you create a harmonious space you can only see in the latest home improvement magazines.

Furniture

Before you even select furniture, you need to think about the layout of your living room. If you are low on space, smart storage pieces are a great option. Select items that have an actual purpose rather than just taking up your space. Plan in advance and make a furniture layout so that every piece is in a certain place for a reason. This way, you will maximize your space, regardless of the actual size of your living room.

 

Once you’ve done that, it’s time for you to do some furniture shopping. The first thing that comes to our minds when we think about the living room is the sofa. Selecting a great sofa can be a challenging task because it is the one piece of furniture that will dominate your entire living room. Our tip is to look for both comfort and design, as there is nothing better than relaxing on your comfy sofa at the end of a tiring day. 

Rugs

Never underestimate the power of a good rug. These seemingly unimportant pieces can transform your living room in an instant. If chosen in the right style and size, they have the ability to tie your whole room together. The majority of designers suggest that you select a rug that covers your sitting area. This way, you will create a sitting zone and the carpet itself won’t overwhelm the whole space. 

Floors

Choosing the right flooring option for your living room should be your priority. There are many options to choose from like laminate, vinyl, and hardwood flooring. Our pro tip is to invest in high-quality flooring options like bamboo flooring. Not only are they extremely durable, but they are also really easy to clean and maintain since they do not trap dust or allergens. 

 

On top of that, bamboo floors are:

  • Eco-friendly
  • Safe for you and your family
  • Reasonably priced.

 

What is more, they come in a variety of colors, from very light ivories to dark coffee shades, so you will definitely be able to find something that works for your living room space. 

Color Scheme

Another very important step you should consider is selecting the right color scheme. If you buy pieces randomly without thinking of color coordination, you will end up with a colorful mess. Our advice is to pick one main color and then work your way around it. This way, you can add several accent colors later, and they will help you set the whole mood of the room. So, have a look at that color wheel one more time before making any rash decisions. 

Pick a Style

Although it is popular to mix and match various styles, both in fashion and in home decor, be careful! It is very easy to get caught up in all the recent trends. Choose one predominant style that suits your current lifestyle and needs, and then add elements that will complement it. A living room should be a space where you can relax and be yourself, so take your time. Look at those Pinterest boards and find solutions that work for you and your family. 

Add Character

Once you have completed all the previous steps, it’s time to add some character to your living room. Add some unique art, family photos, incorporate house plants, cozy cushions and throws — play with different colors and textures. This is your time to be creative! You will be pleasantly surprised once you see the results. 

Final Thoughts 

Decorating your living room has never been easier! We hope that these tips will help you create the ideal space for you and your loved ones. When you are done, make sure you enjoy it in all its glory!

Perhaps nothing beats resting your tired muscles on a comfy chair or couch. But, before you can get around to experiencing that, you need to pick the most comfortable chair and couch you can find on the market. So, here are four tips to help you find the comfiest pieces of furniture for your living spaces. 

Try Before You Buy

Travel to a local furniture store, and ask the salesperson if you can sit on the furniture pieces. Check each chair or couch that attracts your attention or interest, and feel their material and padding. 

Remember, don’t limit yourself to conventional chairs or couches, especially if your budget allows it. For example, consider purchasing a good massage chair to enjoy more features than the standard seat. 

The massage chair you choose might even offer additional features to make your “me time” more relaxing than usual. Some extra features that you should check out may include:

  • Different massage techniques
  • Depth and position of recline
  • Therapeutic heating
  • Deep-tissue massage
  • Additional rollers

However, be warned that sitting on these chairs might make it very challenging for you to leave the seat! 

Also, you might be wondering how to check the comfort level of a chair or couch if you’re buying online. Buying from an online retailer poses more of a challenge since you can’t test the material and padding. Instead, consider checking online reviews to see if the furniture you choose is the right model for your living space. 

Check The Size

You might think that there’s no sense in buying a chair or couch if it’s not a good fit. But, the right fit doesn’t necessarily mean that you can squeeze into the furniture piece while you’re sitting on it. 

Instead, think of the various positions that you’ll use when you’re utilizing your new chair or couch. For example, you might think about putting your feet up on the chair. Otherwise, you might be considering using the couch as a place for your afternoon naps. 

Check the dimensions of the furniture before finalizing the purchase. You don’t want a chair or couch that inhibits you from relaxing in your most comfortable sitting or sleeping position. 

Choose An Appropriate Seat Depth

Seat depth is an essential factor to consider when choosing a comfortable chair and couch for your living space. Proper seat depth should allow you to sit or lie back comfortably without using a pillow. 

Check if the chair or couch can support your thighs. Your knees should be at a 90-degree angle while sitting on your selected piece of furniture. Furthermore, your feet shouldn’t hang as they should be touching the floor comfortably. 

If the seat depth is incorrect, blood flow to the lower parts of your body, particularly your feet, might become irregular. This scenario will result in poor circulation, causing a loss of feeling. You may notice that the sense of touch is escaping your legs if you feel a tingly feeling starting to surface. 

Thus, it’s essential to choose the correct seat depth for your living area, especially if you’re choosing furniture for a modern dining space. You don’t want to find it tough to stand after eating meals because of dining seats with incorrect seat depths. 

Tall people should choose a seat depth of about 23 to 25 inches. Individuals with average height, on the other hand, may consider seat depths of roughly 21 to 22 inches. 

Select The Right Cushion Filling

Don’t disregard the filling used in the back and bottom cushions of your selected chair and couch. This particular component can make or break the comfort levels of your chosen piece of furniture. 

You can choose between different filling options, such as:

  • High-density foam
  • Wool
  • Feathers
  • Poly Fiber
  • Natural Latex

Each filling material will have their unique pros and cons. For example, high-density foam can deliver excellent levels of comfort and durability. But, this option might be too expensive for furniture buyers on a tight budget. 

Conversely, you can choose down and feathers if you want that “sinking” feeling when you’re sitting or lying back on your chair or couch. But, the feathers can shift, which means you may need to readjust your position frequently.

Parting Thoughts

Use these four tips to help you choose the most comfortable chair and couch on the market. Remember to consider the cushion filling, size, and seat depth when you’re shopping for the best piece of furniture for your living space. Also, if you can shop around local furniture stores, don’t forget to try the product before you buy to ensure that you receive excellent value for your money.

Choosing the perfect home decor can bring warmth, comfort, and relaxation to your living room.

Generally, interior designing can save you money, if you do it to pass time or if it’s a hobby. But, it’s crucial to first get the right ideas before going ahead to making decorations in your living room. Otherwise, you’ll make a fool out of yourself when things go wrong.

Here are six tips you should know before taking the plunge to decorate your living room:

  1. The Lighting of Your Space Matters

Before making a start on the home decor, make attempts to breaking down your room into functional areas to know the lighting in every section.

There are different kinds of light placement and concentration which mainly show how localized or focused the light is. They include;

  • Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting can help improve the overall lighting in your living room. It helps create a warm glow in your living room area.

It may fill the room but can’t be used for specific activities that require concentration, e.g. Reading. You can use chandeliers, pendant lights, wall sconces, and flush lights to create this type of glow in your living room.

  • Task Lighting

Specific tasks require bright light to give you an easy time while performing specific tasks. 

You can use table lamps, desk lamps, reading lamps, or full-spectrum lamps to enhance your light while reading or working on tasks that require much of your attention.

  • Accent Lighting

Accent lights help to add a local soft glow in highlighted areas. Their main use is to decorate and add a sense of touch to the lighting in your living room.

You can accent your living room’s lighting using spotlights, up-lights, or even accent lamps.

  1. Play with Color

Your living room is definitely the most common room in your house, and adding your best splash of paint should be in your must-do list. Color creates the mood in a room. It can either be neutral, bright or even bold.

Remember, this is the place you spend most of your time in, either with friends or family, so its good to be sensitive on your color range. Brighter colors are usually more appealing, rejuvenating, and they also activate your moods.

When choosing the perfect color for your home décor, consult with available paint dealers before settling on the type of color you want to be painted on your living room walls.

  1. Don’t Forget Your Flooring

Much of your attention when setting up your living room décor should also be centered on the type of flooring you opt to use. It’s very important because flooring determines your mobility within the room. Opting a smooth flooring can be risky to you and your little ones (especially walking on it when it’s damp) which can pose dangers of sliding and even falling.

Choose a rather rough-looking/ textured finish to give you a grip and reduce the risks of falling. Also, lay a keen eye on the floor temperature. A cold floor can bring health problems compared to a wooden one.

Alternatively, you can carpet your floor if you see it as unsuitable to walk on with bare feet.

  1. Express Yourself

Most people fail to add a touch of their personalities on the choices they make when decorating their living rooms. Adding a sense of character in your decorations can be easily achieved through the love and affection you have for things, places, or even features.

Popping a hand-crafted wall clock, beadwork or even a portrait picture of a legendary leader on your wall can showcase your personality too. To learn more, go to https://www.photowall.com/canvas-prints 

  1. Choice of Fabrics

 A set of factors come into play when you go shopping for fabrics to decorate your living room décor. Just like paint, the choice of fabric color can bring in a dramatic effect in your living room. You can create a bold accent by choosing a bright color.

But, you should consider your pets. If you’re a pet lover, opt for a natural blend and fluffy textures. If you’re allergic, go for smooth, synthetic blends as they offer fewer depositories for dust.

  1. Functional Yet Elegant Furniture

Before selecting the right furniture for your home, consider the feeling you want to create in those spaces. Pick up on pieces that best reflect your feeling.

If you prefer making the room feel minimal and elevated, run for pieces with clean, sharp lines.

Additionally, leather can be a perfect match for a neutral backdrop and can match whatever rugs or prints you fill your space with while having its own, unique qualities.

Opting for accessories with a few marble and metal pieces will add interest visually without squeezing up your space.
