The living room is the area of the home where visitors and guests are welcomed. It is a public space where family and friends congregate for chit-chat and to watch movies and TV together.

Think About The Basics 

The interior design plan of a house is determined by the layout and available space. While you are developing your design idea, you must keep consistency across the property. Every room can have its own personality, but it should also fit in with the general concept of your house. The living room should establish the tone and ambiance for the whole home and accurately represent your personality. This is why it’s so important to think about the basics, such as the color scheme and the materials you intend to use, as well as the kind of décor – traditional, contemporary, floral, rustic, and so on – that you might want. Knowing this will help you get everything else right. 

 

Accent Your Floor

The floor plays an important role in establishing the living space area and defining it. To create a pleasant environment, you use patterned or plain color carpets and place rugs in the appropriate areas (remember, you might not need both of these things – often, you will use a rug over tiles or wooden flooring rather than carpet). Always choose flooring that draws attention to your room and provides the sense of a larger space, as this will help keep your room more comfortable. 

 

Throws And Pillows

Even with the most comfortable sofas, it’s essential to add soft cushions and pillows to complete the look. Another great addition is a warm blanket to keep you snuggly and cozy when you curl up with a cup of hot coffee and a good book on a chilly night. If you make these accessories colorful and vibrant, perhaps with a pattern too, they will add a dash of excitement to any living room. 

 

Potted Plants 

In addition to beautifying your surroundings, potted plants help to filter the air. To make your potted plants last longer and look their best, place them in areas with plenty of natural daylight but out of direct sunshine.

 

Alternatively, you can also add fresh-cut flowers to the vases on your center table to soften the wood, stone, and metal décor components and create a pleasant atmosphere in your living room. Get a fresh cut flower delivery every week and change the varieties you use to add a new look each time. 

 

Candles And Lamps 

You can use scented candles to surround ceramic décor elements in the living area. These pieces will add character to your home, and the candles will keep your living room smelling wonderful. Adding a striking lamp to your side table can offer a captivating light aspect while also contributing to the décor mood.

  1. Great ideas for accessorizing your living room. Floor accents definitely go a long way. As a tile contractor, I would suggest going for a more permanent and strong flooring rather than carpets. While carpets and other floor coverings are great, floor tiles are just better in terms of durability, creativity, etc.
