The living room is a place where you and your guests spend most of their time. Hence, it’s important that the room is cozy and inviting. Here are some tips and tricks for amping up your living room design:
Choose a theme for your living room design
Before anything, you need to decide upon a theme. The theme should complement your personality, style, and lifestyle. Here are some of the most popular living room themes of the season:
- Modern
- Traditional
- Retro
- Asian
- Contemporary
- Scavandian
- County
- Craftsman
- Eccentric
- Rustic
- Mid-century
- Cabin
- Victorian
Find the right couch/sofa
The couch is the first piece of furniture that you buy for your living room. Take your time to find the best couch or sofa set available in your budget bracket. While choosing a sofa, make sure to consider the fabric of the furniture. You want something that is most suitable for your lifestyle. So if you have kids or pets in your home, choose your furniture accordingly. A ‘sit test’ is essential before you pay the bill.
Add warm lightings
While having a lot of natural light coming in is a plus, adding beautiful lamps totally transforms the mood. Use a floor lamp or overhead lamps with warm lighting to establish a cozy mood.
Add texture with layered rugs
Rugs can make your room look very rich and luxurious, especially if they are layered. Find two or three stunning rug designs that complement each other. Make sure that they together cover a space larger than the seating area.
Establish a cozy mood with textile
The next step is to add colorful and lively fabrics – curtains, sheets, throws, cushions, and table mats. Pillows are a great way to bring in a pop of color. You can go very bold with the pillows and pick pieces that bring contrast with the overall color scheme. Make sure whatever you choose, the style is in coordination with the theme of the room.
Bring in a statement piece
Every room must have one statement piece, not less, not more, that becomes the focal point. It could be a large scale art, an art series, a sofa, a statement table cloth, or even a rug.
