Define your own style

The living room gives a lot of play. You can work multiple possibilities, but we recommend that you decide for what you like and what you can identify with; that is, if you have a more modern and updated spirit, you can opt for styles such as minimalist or contemporary, while if you prefer something more alternative, there is the boho chic, urban style or bohemian.

It's all a matter of observing, analyzing and determining what you like best. In the same way we could talk about the furniture, which must be functional and comfortable. These two premises must be met, only then you will feel that the living room is well equipped. However, aesthetics is important, hence a harmonious relationship between all the elements.

In the end, it is important that you find the right colors to make interesting combinations and apply the prints with which to show a more curious image of the environment.

In this sense, we recommend you to take a look at these 10 ideas for decorating the living room. It becomes a good opportunity for you to build an attractive design and in which you feel at ease. There is nothing better than being proud of the house; in this way, you will break with the lack of style and show more personality.

1. Decoration in pairs

Playing with symmetry and repetition is one of the resources most used by decorators. There must be a reason for this.

It is common to find two lamps on a sideboard, two paintings, two vases? What happens when it is not abused? Well, attention is immediately drawn to the pieces.

In this living room, there are two identical coffee tables that, in addition, do not pose an obstacle to the circulation in the living area.

2. Windows

Curtains or blinds, better sheers? It's hard to imagine how they will look, isn't it? With few exceptions, windows and windows are dressed, and it is better to do it right. They are unique to raise the decorative level of the living room and make it more welcoming.

Our advice: see the windows of the houses we publish and let us advise you in the store where they are made. The length, the drape, the transparency of the fabric, the colors? If there are several windows in the living room, as a general rule, it is advisable to use the same or similar fabrics so that the whole is coherent.

In this living room, they were dressed with a combination of blinds of different opacity to control the entry of light.

3. A new environment

Create a cozy corner where before there was only a white wall. It will be one more room in the living room, which can be decorated in a different style. You could even enhance that wall with a wallpaper to highlight it and make it a focal point. The new room can be just pretty or pretty and functional.

In this living room it was created with a mini desk with a cantilevered console, shallow back, and a stool.

4. Cushions to love

A living room without accessories is like a garden without flowers. Cushions, in particular, can easily transform the look of a sofa.

In tune, in contrast, plain, printed.... A mix of pastel or vibrant colors brings dynamism to the decor.

Infallible: mix cushions in different sizes.

5. Walls with more visual interest

Bland walls don't add anything to the living room. But with a collage of photos they gain prominence.

The advantage of this type of composition, where the photos are arranged on shelves with little background, is that you can change them as many times as you want, add other complements...

Ideally, you should alternate photos of different sizes.

6. Clean image

Order is an essential condition in the decoration of the living room.

It is true that you can decorate by creating an effect of apparent disorder, which brings naturalness, but it would always be apparent. Each object, in fact, is arranged to bring style to the environment. And if there is something to hide, it is hidden behind the door of a piece of furniture.

In the case of shelves full of books, it is necessary to arrange them carefully. It also works to leave some gaps and alternate books with deco pieces and photographs, in order to lighten the visual weight.

7. Optimal illumination

Surely the general lighting of the living room is solved with spotlights on the ceiling, but the light they provide has nothing to do with "creating scenes", depending on the activity you perform.

It would be a mistake to illuminate the whole room, if you are just going to read or if you have invited some friends and you are chatting on the sofa. In the first case, spot light with a floor lamp, and in the second, ambient light with table lamps.

If you also want to illuminate like a decorator, use accent lighting. It is the one that highlights a painting, a work of art, a textured coating...

8. Flower power

An open secret in decoration: flowers always add, not subtract. Take a look at the atmospheres designed by the most prestigious interior designers. There are always flowers.

In your living room, it can be an imposing floral arrangement or one with a wild and natural air. It can be in a vase and a conventional centerpiece or look just as beautiful in an improvised container, such as a jar or a vintage box.

If they are fresh, perfect. If they are artificial, bet only for quality and with good design because some imitations hardly contribute, but they can detract from the style of the room.

9. A peaceful environment

The living room is a meeting place where everyone feels comfortable.

It is good to think of others, but without giving up your own personality and tastes in the decoration, because then the living room will no longer feel like your own.

Decorating with evocative pieces, like the boat in this living room, or with a special meaning, always makes us feel good.

10. Fusion of styles

Mix and match furniture and accessories from yesterday and today, dare!

It is trendy to combine current and Nordic designs with vintage, shabby and country pieces.
