Decorating a room can either be a nightmare or fun experience, depending on your perspective of decoration. Enjoy decorating but do not go overboard. What is important is to find a balance and create a room that is inviting, relaxing and lovely to look at.
A Few Ideas
A Cozy Corner
The above image demonstrates excellent use of the wooden focal wall adjacent to the long window that gives the room a design uplift. The subtle leather furniture with the low coffee table and side table add to the simplicity of the room. The light-colored furnishings make the room appear big, neat and also brighter. You can use this design when your room is small and you don't have too much space to experiment.
Go White
Confused over the right color combination for the lounge room? If yes, then play safe with white. White sofa sets when combined with the wooden coffee table and the floor lamp make the room look brighter and spacious. The spacious look is furniture-enhanced with the use of an in-the-wall bookshelf and wall unit. The USP of the room is the hanging white lamp! It gives a finishing touch to the room.
Contemporary Feel
If you have a lot of space in your sitting room, then this is a good design idea for you. The bold mix of black, red and white just lifts your mood. All naked walls with just a big wall clock is the USP of the room. The fireplace is aptly kept small. The black-colored sofas are well-complemented with multicolored cushions. If you want to sit and have a cozy chat, this room invites you to do just that! And with no television set, your chats will be uninterrupted!
The Good Ol' Days
Go back in time with this 'rustic feel' front room design. The antique furniture and the huge fireplace give a 70s' look! The light color of the drapes complements the light-colored scheme of the room. The USP of the room, for me, will be the huge candle stand placed right beside the fireplace and the few candles placed on the table. Go ahead, switch off the lights and let the room be lit with the brightness of the candles and the fireplace. Anyone for a candid candlelight chat?
Twist in the Tale
If you are looking for a makeover to your current living room, this design can help you. The addition of the accent wall makes all the difference to the otherwise white-colored room. The frame that is added to the blue-colored accent wall is the focal point. Though a bit glitzy, the frame adds the much-needed spice to the room. The wooden plus white-colored furniture blends well with the focal wall. The decoration is kept minimum, with just the flower vase and hanging lights used.
Now, if you just want to redo your lounge room without changing a lot of things around, you can accessorize it with the following decorating items. Choose the one that you feel is the best for your house!
A Few Accessories
Wall Units
Adding this piece of furniture to one of the walls will give the room a new look that you might be on the lookout for! You can choose from the smaller unit to gigantic ones that fill up the entire wall.
Clocks
If you love naked walls and would not like to add too many decorative pieces to them, then add a fine-looking clock to one of the walls. Clocks act as great focal points. My personal favorite from the lot is the "Grandfather's clock" that gives an antique feel!
Bookshelf
How about flaunting your collection of books using these stylish bookshelf designs? Add it to one of the walls of the room and notice the drastic change it brings to your room!
Candle Holders
Want to get romantic and looking for that perfect setting? If your answer is in the affirmative, then add lots of candle holders to your front room! Not only do they create the perfect romantic atmosphere, but are pretty looking as well. Get them and get cozy.
Chandeliers
These lovely hanging lamps are a great addition to your room. They act as a great source of alternative lighting. Place it over the coffee table or near the wall unit or right at the room entrance. Choose the best from the whole lot of designs available.
Couches
The most highlighted piece of furniture in the living room is the couch! The best way to redo your room will be to change them.
Drapes
Curtains add a new definition to the room. While selecting them, consider the lighting factor. Darker curtains block lights and sheer ones let in a lot of sunshine. Curtains are available in different fabrics for you to choose from. Ensure you select the right color, else you may completely ruin the look of your room.
Cushions
What can be the easiest and an economic addition to your living room? Cushions! They are available in different shapes, sizes, and fabrics as well. Get the ones that complement the sofa set in your room.
Lamps
Adding lamps (table or floor) will let a particular corner of the room brighten up and also add the "beauty" factor to it! You can go with the same styled lamp like your other furniture or you can mix styles together!
Fireplace
A fireplace addition makes the room spacious, and if you have a big room, then you can cover the unused spaces in the room with a fireplace.
You can check out garage sales and auction sites online, and do not forget to raid your grandmother's attic for some great finds! Go ahead and decorate the room as per your taste.
