The living room is an important area of your home, and it is important that you decorate it with thought and attention. The decor used should reflect your personality and stamp your identity on the home.
Here are some living room decor ideas.
Use a pop of color or contrast
A simple way to decorate your living room is to mix things up a little and use contrasts and patterns. If you have sofas and walls in neutral shades, you could introduce a bit of color by way of a contrasting color or pattern. You could use zebra stripes or a pop of purple if the walls and sofa upholstery is neutral. If you have curtains that are white or off-white walls also of a soft shade and floors that have a neutral shade, then a bright pop of color on a cushion or multi-colored art on the wall help.
Vintage advantage
Bring out the vintage stuff to lend character to your living space. Have an old gramophone player that has no use? Display it, so you can have conversations around it. An old metal trunk could be a nice center-table or a side table, and what’s more, an excellent conversation starter. Brass knick-knacks handed down from your parents could make for excellent decor.
Make a grand statement
A great way to liven up your living space is to make a statement. You can group a collection of frames (of art/photographs) and use it as a statement. Or you could use one large artwork on the wall to draw attention, rather than use art pieces scattered across the living room.
Bring in a dash of greenery.
One of the most cost-effective methods and easy to execute ideas is to use plants in your living space. The greenery is not only relaxing but also beneficial. Plants purify the air inside, boost your productivity and focus, and lower your stress.
Wallpaper wonders
Use wallpaper on one wall that has a floral print in line with the colors used elsewhere in the living space. For instance, if your living room has a green rug, cushion covers in mild green prints, you could use wallpaper that has a white/beige background with green colored prints.
Wallpaper can make a difference in any living room. You can use a graphics printed one or a muted one, depending on the colors and patterns used in the rest of the space.
Designing on a budget
Apart from these above five ideas, there are other simple living room design ideas you can implement on a budget.
You could hang plates in different textures, and sizes in a wall arrangement. You could also use fresh flowers in the living room in an imaginative manner. Grouping scented, and colored candles on a table or a cabinet shelf also add value – one of the many living room design ideas if you are on a budget.
