Living Room Decor Ideas
1.Keep it Natural

Keeping things natural in your living room means having a light open space that is peaceful like nature.
White, beige and green are colors you should focus on. White and beige will be your main shades of color and green will be the accent.
Cushions are the key, so don’t be afraid to have a lot on your sofas.
2.Color Drenching

It’s time we all step away from millennial grey and bring some color to our homes.
Color drenching is an amazing way to totally transform your living room.
Paint everything your walls, ceilings, doors and fireplace. Any color is welcome.
3.A Touch of Pink

Pink is an amazing accent color to have in a living room, especially if you’re obsessed with pink.
Pink works best against white and beige. So use it as a highlight, carpets, blankets, cushions and fresh flowers etc.
we love how Sarah has used all shades of pink in her living room.
4.Use Wood for a Cozy Atmosphere

Wood is an amazing material to have in your living room.
It’s cozy and fits well in any color scheme, modern or vintage style and brings warmth to a space.
If you have wood flooring then layer your furniture with a rug.
5.White Sofas

This one may be a bit controversial but we prefer a white sofa over any other color.
Yes it is more prone to staining and has more upkeep however they look absolutely stunning.
A white sofa that is cozy and seems to be trending these days is a sherpa fabric sofa.
6.Decorate your Coffee Table

A decor idea that will make your living room look more put together and aesthetically pleasing is by simply decorating your coffee table.
Use books as your base and then place candles, bowls and flowers on top.
You can use any book or decor, color isn’t the focus, we’re all about layering.
7.Brown Tones

Brown is another amazing accent color, it brings an earthy element to the room.
Which is why brown ceramics are a great decor item in your living room.
Paired with dark wooden furniture that contrast against a white wall, a beige sofa and rug.
8.Put Slipcovers on your Sofas

Instead of buying a new sofa why not just use slipcovers.
Modern slipcovers are an amazing way of updating your living room. Not only do they look amazing they’re also easy to clean and update.
We recommend using linen or polyester-cotton fabrics.
9.Statement Stripes

If you’re looking for a coastal element to your living room then stripes are a pattern you need.
We love a statement sofa, and a cream sofa contrasted with blue stripes is a perfect addition to the living room.
10.Built in Bookshelf

Built in bookshelves are a step up from shelving. Especially when installed into the wall on either side of the fireplace.
They are seamless, great for storage and look great decorated.
11.A Hint of Yellow

Yellow is a bright, fun color that creates a cheerful atmosphere, it’s a warm color that can counteract cool areas in your living room.
Pale and lighter shades of yellow are perfect for your walls and brighter shades are perfect as an accent color in your furnishings and decor.
12.A Country Look

If your a fan of the country look then decorate your living room with fancy armchairs, bespoke shelving, statement sofas and florals.
It’s all about creating a cozy country like atmosphere.
13.Bring Color to your Living Room

Color is a powerful tool when it comes to decorating, it can make or break a space.
Be bold and create a color palette for your living room. Don’t be afraid to incorporate a range of colors.
14.A Busy Living Room
credit @chalkwhitearrow
A living room should look lived in, meaning it has to look busy.
Bring character to the space by layering, don’t stick to one style of furniture and use books, cushions and other furnishings that contrast.
The goal is to use layering to create a busy environment.
15.A Coastal Look
credit @mollyinmaine
We love a good coastal designed living room.It’s as easy as shades of blue and white as your color palette.
Wood and rattan being the main materials and don’t forget stripes as your primary pattern.
If your looking for an upgrade, then coastal is the way to go.
16.Hang your Curtains High
credit @jamesjohnjetel
A styling hack everyone should use in any room they have curtains is too hang them higher than the window.
Whether its between the ceiling and window, or right up to the ceiling, you’ll love this hack.
17.An Ottoman Coffee Table
credit @alexbaxter.co
Ottomans were used for putting your feet up, but it’s time for them to be used as an actual coffee table.
A stack of books and a floral arrangement placed on a decorative plate, when styled they look just as great as a coffee table.
18.Stick to One Color
credit @thelopezhome
Sometimes just sticking to one color can make decorating so much easier.
The key is to use different textures. Having one color can make your living room look flat, which means you’ll have to use texture as your contrast to build and layer.
19.Hang Artwork in Gold Frames

Hanging artwork is something that will never go out of fashion. And who doesn’t love a little art display.
Put your paintings in gold frames, specifically vintage looking frames.
20.Wooden Beams for a Cottage Look
credit @jennachristianblog
We have seen a recent rise in the cottage core trend. Cottage core is all about the old English cottage style and way of living.
And wooden beams are essential in a cottage, which are perfect for homes with low ceilings.
21.You Need a Rug in Your Living Room

A rug is a staple item that everyone should have in their living room.
And a rug that seems to never go out of style is a Persian rug.
22.Panel your Walls
credit @maddy_athome
Walls can be boring and flat, to add depth and character why not install panelling.
They are an interesting feature to add to your living room especially when you have your sofa placed against them.
23.Mix and Match Textures and Colors
credit @studiomcgee
You need to have different textures, patterns and colors in your living room for an interesting, visually aesthetic space.
For example marble and wood, or a beige sofa and patterned cushions, paired with an oriental rug. They are all opposites yet blend perfectly when together.
24.A Tree in the Living Room
credit @mcgeeandco
Whether it’s a fake one or a real one, a tree is something you need in your living room.
It’s all about bringing nature inside the home, a little bit of greenery can go a long way.
25.A Coffee Table Set
credit @jacqui_turk
If you have a big family, or your place is always the hangout spot then a large coffee table is a must.
We love a set of round, wavy coffee tables as they are more functional especially when it comes to moving things around.
26.Orange Furniture
credit @alexanderjamesinteriors
Sometimes you need to just take a leap of faith and go for that ridiculously bright, bold furniture item than you know might dramatically elevate your space.
Orange furniture works well in a room that features a neutral theme. Be bold, you might find yourself falling in love.
27.Individual Seating
credit @jenniferbarroninteriors
Sofas tend to take up a lot of space, covering a lot of area in your living room.
Which is why armchairs and ottomans are a perfect furniture item to have. We recommend having two different sets for contrast.
