laurawhite's blog: Three ways to bring style to your living room

Posted on May 22, 2015 12:40 AM

Your living room is one of the places you use most in your home, whether that is for family gatherings, watching TV, or getting together with a group of friends. And since it is the one room in the house seen by almost everyone who comes over, why not work hard to give it a sense of style? Here are three ways you can bring some more style your living room.

Start with a good rug

A rug can change the feeling in any room making it feel a little more dramatic, calm it down, or throw in some fun color. Whatever mood you feel like portraying, put it in the rug you choose. One thing is for certain, a well-picked rug will completely change the way people feel when they walk into your living room and can keep the room from feeling really boring. It is also the first decorating piece you should always use because you can match anything to a rug, but you may not be able to find a rug to match the other colors you’ve put in the room.

Accent seating

Most people throw a couple of comfortable couches in their living room and a TV, and call it good. However, a good one or two accent seating pieces can style up the room in an instant and provide more seating for those you’ve invited into your home.

Look up for once

One part of the room most people forget is the ceiling, according to the Huffington Post. They forget that the feeling from the ceiling can be just as essential to the style of the room as anything else in it. You can try painting the ceiling a soft color just slightly off from the color of the walls to create a different look or even just get a new, interesting light fixture to draw the visitor’s eye up if you aren’t brave enough to paint your ceiling. Whatever you choose, looking up may be what brings your decorating project what it most needs.
