The living room is the heart and the soul of a home, which is why it should be perfectly decorated so that it reflects the family that lives in the house. Sometimes it can be challenging to furnish a room, especially if it is too small or maybe too large. Fortunately, with various colors, items, and furniture, every living room can look just like those from home décor magazines.
White For Elegance
The majority of people feel like the white walls in a living room give off too cold an atmosphere. However, if incorporated well with other colors and textures, white will make your living room look highly elegant. Combine black or purple furniture with a nubby rug and beige end tables. Match curtains to the furniture so that the room can get the ultimate coordinated look. If white is too bright for you, the eggshell or cream walls with cream furniture would be the best alternative. Brown carpets, end tables, and coffee tables incorporated with the cream will provide the perfect warm ambiance.
Happy Bright Colours
While some prefer the elegant and classy feel, others are more open to vibrant colors. Therefore, if a room is painted in a light shade of pink, yellow, or green, furniture in highly saturated colors will make the room pop. An ocean blue Chesterfield sofa and lime green bamboo side chairs will look gorgeous in the spring-like ambiance. A glass coffee table over a zebra-striped carpet and a black end table by the sofa are all you need for the perfect colorful living room. The couch can have lime green pillows, whereas a green sofa can feature an ocean blue one for the ideal color balance.
A Polished Style
With perfectly combined icy blue, white, yellow, ivory, and elegant khaki colors, a living room develops a genuine sense of harmony. The polished look these colors provide calls for a large table in front of the fireplace that will divide the space into two areas. Add a yellow-and-white cotton striped tablecloth to the bottom of the table for the ultimate lively feeling. Matching rugs will correctly define both sides of the room. A vase with flowers on top of the fireplace and a hanging pot of flowers in the corner of the living room will bring a little nature into the entire ambiance.
Small Room Decoration
Small spaces are perfect for bright glass lamps and Lucite tables. They do not take up much of the visual area and correctly style the room. Wall, floor, and table lamps will give additional light to the room, which will make it look larger. What is more, if you live in a house, build as many big windows as possible to visually enlarge the room.
When the space is small, you look for every possibility to make it bigger and to remove all the unnecessary space invaders. Therefore, instead of having a regular door for the backyard exit, opt for sliding doors. They are much more suitable because they will also provide you with additional light and save space by not opening inwards or outwards.
Mirrors are another perfect way to make the room visually more significant because they reflect light and space around the room. However, before you hang any of the mirrors in the room, make sure you check out all the angles to see if the view that reflects is the right one. You do not want clutter to be revealed and to make your room look overcrowded.
