Define your style first. Choosing a style—modern, classic, eclectic, or minimalist—will drive your design options.
Create a room focal point with a fireplace, feature wall, or beautiful furnishings. This anchors the space and invites attention.
Invest in comfortable and well-proportioned furniture that suits the scale of your living room. Consider a mix of seating options, including a sofa, chairs, and possibly a coffee table or ottoman.
Furniture should stimulate conversation and traffic flow. Position the sofa, coffee table, and TV to create a balanced and effective layout.
Create layers of light with multiple sources. Enhance the atmosphere with overhead, floor, table, and accent lighting. Think about dimmers for versatility.
Living room color scheme should be coherent. Select colors that match and set the mood. Consider mixing neutrals with accent colors.
Use toss pillows, blankets, and area rugs to provide texture and design. Multi-textured spaces give depth and visual intrigue.
Showcase family photos, artwork, and treasures. These touches make the place feel personal and warm.
Buy attractive storage to organize the living room. To store and display objects, consider built-in shelving, media units, or attractive baskets.
