If you've recently started thinking over decorating your house, and first on the list is your living room, you may be overpowered to put every piece together to make a harmonious and engaging space. But you need to consider the paint tones for the walls, what sort of furniture you already have and what you need, and how to arrange and accessorize it.

Listed below are a few tips that might help you to decorate your living room:

Pick the right furniture

When picking the furniture pieces for your living room, try not to compromise on space for beauty. Try to add some multifunctional pieces that are not bulky. Purchase chairs that can double as storage spaces for books and trinkets. Pick side tables that may fill in as wardrobes also. Instead of strong cupboards, purchase cupboards that might be bolted on the walls. Also, if your budget allows, purchase home entertainment furnishings that might be installed on the wall.

ArtWorks

Empty walls are a sign of an unfinished room. But this doesn't mean you need to fill each inch, yet decorating the walls with some artwork is essential. Artwork can be expensive, especially framed artwork, and this can be a  problem if you are on a tight spending plan. However, canvas prints are a great way to embellish your home, and they offer style and affordability. There are hundreds of pre-made designs available, and you can even get your designs printed if you need to.

Paint the room neutral

Wall colors showcase the true vibes of your house. Comfort and spaciousness are the ones commonly desired to be expressed through paint color. Accordingly, it is essential to pick neutral colors in painting your living room. Light and neutral colors give the deception of the room. Yellow exudes a warm, comfortable feeling, while blue-dim has a calming effect. By utilizing these characteristics of the paint, you will economically and successfully decorate your living room.

Take advantage of windows

If privacy isn't an issue with you and your family, it is nice to keep windows open. Allow natural light to enter by putting sheer curtains instead of strong linen, and if possible, don't put curtains or blinds by any stretch. Open windows allow you to bring outside in and give the sense of an extended living room. The outdoors instantly turns into a piece of your living room without having to put in wallpaper.

Use two area rugs

Rugs can add class to any home. You might need to add a carpet to beautify your living room. Ensure that you utilize two mats instead of one. By placing two rugs apart with enough distance in the middle, you can make your living room look big and more extensive. The tips of the rugs can mark the finish of different areas, while the gap in between the carpets will look like extra space. Utilizing just one mat will provide the illusion of a limited floor area in your living room.

The Bottom Line

The living area is one of the first rooms that guests will see upon entering a house and one of the first decorated rooms. I hope these tips can help you change your living room game and leave your guests with a big WOW!
