Your living room

Fit your living room for your and your guests' comfort.

Whether it is the spice up an existing living room or to create an entirely new one, there are a few tips and tricks you can try to create the perfect living room.

• Use open or see-through shelves to expose books or decorations without overfilling the space.
• Add a discrete mirror to a room to make it feel more open, whether it is full length or smaller, hanged above shelves; it will add space to the room.
• Decorate the room by adding plants to otherwise unused space (in a corner or on top of a shelf) to give a fresh look and personality to your living room. With the right colour scheme and a design patterned pot it with become the focal point of the room.

• Replace heavy curtains with light semi-transparent ones to bring more natural light and space to a room.
• Use durable fabrics if children often play in this room such as a leather couch, plastic chairs or a lacquer table.
• Add a touch of colours like yellow or orange to give more warmth to an otherwise neutral coloured room.

• Use area rugs to define the different rooms within a large open space. By respecting the flow of the room and how your guest will enter from one room to another, you can use a recurring pattern.
• Low furniture enables you to create this feeling of openness and minimalism for an uncrowded living room.
• A large clock can become a nice piece of decoration as well as being practical. 

• Prepare a space for your television screen in the original planning of your living room, with enough space to hide wires.
• Match certain pieces of your furniture together to create a mix and match effect.
• Add a dark accent at the opposite of the colour spectrum to an otherwise pale room to make it pop.

• Think about the style you want to give to the room: rustic, country house, minimalism, Scandinavian, maximalism, Bohemian...
• A coffee table or couch colourful or different from the rest of the furniture can become a nice centrepiece to the room.
• Having a colour or pattern theme or throughout the house will help to unite the different styles of the house, such as pastels soft colours or a stronger palette or even pairing soft colours with muted prints in the same palette.

• Paint the fireplace to renew the look of your living room for traditional to modern. By painting it accordingly to a feature wall it creates a sense of unity between the modern-traditional style of furniture.
• Match your wooden floor to a specific colour scheme of furniture.
• Using a patterned carpet linked with other subtle parts of your decoration, such as pillows or art, will give a unity to the room.

• Replace a big bulky sofa, with a softer smaller one paired with armchairs in different parts of the room for a more convivial setting.
• By coordinating the structure of your furniture you can have a clearer look, for example, privilege a largely rectangular furniture scheme with only a few round pieces
• Think about the flow of the room.

• To be able to change the design of your living room about twice a year or with the seasons and special events, start with an all-white canvas and change easily replaceable furniture (rug, decorations, additional seats or flowers) to the atmosphere of the season.
