When it’s time to relax, entertain and spend time together, your living room is where you go. And, depending on your home’s layout, your living room often serves multiple purposes. Sometimes it’s a formal space, but often the living area is used for watching TV, playing games and spending time with family. Whether it’s an elegant sitting area, or an inviting comfortable room where the whole family gathers, there are a few simple interior decorating ideas that will help you bring personality, style and fashion to your living room space.
1. Create a Sophisticated Setting
If you already have a family room for watching TV and other family activities, your living room can be a more formal area for hosting, entertaining, reading or having conversations. To make your home decor more sophisticated, choose living room furniture that offers fine upholstery with decorative trimmings and impeccable tailoring. Put your own style forward with sofas, settees, loveseats, chairs and ottomans upholstered in fashionable fabrics and modern prints.
2. Be Bold with Leather
Quality leather furniture, handcrafted using the best materials, adds distinction, comfort and bold style to any space. Buttery soft seating with unique details, exposed wood and modern designs can be customized to provide your room with a contemporary or traditional feel.
3. Slip on a Cover
An easy way to change your living room furniture is with slipcovers. Whether your furniture is a little dirty, or you just want a new look, high quality slipcovers give you the option to get exactly what you want. Choose furniture that is specifically crafted to accommodate changing slipcovers, and you’ll have the freedom to change your living room furniture with every season if you want.
4. Add Fresh Color
Don’t be afraid to mix color into your living room interior decorating plans. Wall paper and fabric in a fresh color palette can help you capitalize on bold new trends. Get inspired with colorful options in wall coverings, upholstery and furnishings in classic styles or unique designs. Whether your tastes lean toward historic reproductions, toile, and chinoiserie or to tropical and novelty patterns, adding furnishings or wall paper with fresh color will make your room pop.
5. Be Creative
Make your own statement with creative furnishing options. Modern furniture with a vintage twist, clean lines and unique details gives your living room decor a delightful mix that evokes feelings of comfort, whimsy and warmth. By juxtaposing classic curves with contemporary patterns, you can create a space that’s as unique as you are.
6. Opt for Comfort
When your living room is the only space in your home for gathering, entertaining and watching TV, you need high quality furniture that will stand up to the high use. It might be tempting to choose lesser quality furnishings for a room that is used by the whole family, but to achieve true comfort and style, you need to opt for furniture that is solid and well-built. Customize your furniture so that it suits the various purposes of your living room, while still offering the color and stylish details that display your personal taste.
Whether it’s formal or informal, your living room is one of the most important spaces in your home and should tell a great story about you and your family — how you live, who you are, and what makes you special. Choosing furnishings that help you tell that story will bring personality and distinctive style to your living room space.
