People spend a lot of time in their living room. It can be a place for friends to gather and reminisce after some time apart, for the family to come together and unwind after a long day or for individuals to snuggle up and enjoy a book or movie. Regardless of the purpose of the room, below are some decorating ideas that will give the space energy and infuse it with style and personality.
1. Floating Shelves
Floating shelves work wonders for plain walls. They decorate the wall and provide streamlined and stylish storage solutions without hogging floor space. They can hold books, baubles, pieces of art, and other items.
2. Gallery Wall
Artwork can be extroverted, so it can look perfect with companions around it — whether almost identical or madly different. Create a balanced gallery wall by placing an assortment of photos such as different pieces of art, family photos, and other memorabilia. A gallery wall will add personality, energy, and interest to a room.
3. Rope Rug
Rugs are an understated way of dividing up the living room’s space and color coordinating the room. The rope rug will look great on the living room floor because of its unique rope cord makeup. The fabric is durable and comfy. It can add the perfect classic comfort to decorations and give a traditional living room an excellent finishing touch. It may take some time to weave this rug, but the final feel and look will make it worth all the effort.
4. Coffee Table with Wheels
A wheeled wooden coffee table adds warmth, character, and a playful look to the living room. What’s more, it can be easily moved away when extra space is required.
5. Colorful 3D Wall Art
A fantastic way to get the creative juices flowing is by fashioning 3D artwork. The 3D wall art is as unique as it is colorful. Mixing five different colors can create a very festive design. This art piece is inexpensive and easy to make. It calls for easily available supplies like wood circles, acrylic craft paint, and glue.
6. Rainbow Floral Arrangement
Adding floral elements to the living room is a wonderful way to bring the beauty of Mother Nature indoors. A rainbow-colored bouquet, for example of tulips and dahlias, placed in vases or painted bottles introduces vibrancy to the room.
7. Wall Mural
A mural spectacularly alters the sensation of the living room’s spatial proportions. It can be hand-painted to match the existing furniture.
8. Acrylic Wall Decal
Acrylic painting allows ordinary people to get the quality and vibrancy of oil paints without having to spend as much time or money. Turning family photos into acrylic art paintings is an excellent way to brighten up a dull wall.
9. Potted Plants
Greenery turns the living room to an extension of the lovely outdoors. It also keeps the space fresh and light. Houseplants help improve indoor air quality. It’s no wonder they tend to be paired with essential oil diffusers as in the photo.
10. Grid of Mirrors
Mirrors magnify space and make small living rooms appear bigger than they really are. They flood a space with light, making a room feel airy and expansive. They also add lots of character, helping create a stunning vintage or striking modern design.
11. Striped Floor
The floor has the biggest surface area in the living room. For that reason, paying some attention to it can have a big impact. Adding a large-scale pattern to it while keeping the rest of the elements in the room light produces a striking look without going over the top.
12. Hanging Pendant Lights
Pendant lights add classical elegance to the living room. They can also make it look taller.
13. Photo Board
Family photographs are not only timeless but also stamp personality on the living room. Choose a little corner or wall, mount a decorative photo board, and fill it with recent snapshots of a vacation, bike ride, family hike, or any other special family event.
14. Mason Jar Window Treatment
White has a magical way of brightening up spaces. Fresh white flowers paired with mason jars as vases create a window treatment that enhances the view of people as they look at the living room’s windows. Command hooks and jute are all that’s needed to hang the jars at the windows.
15. Chunky Farmhouse Coffee Table
The farmhouse coffee table can be the focal point of both a rustic and modern living room. It’s a welcome contrast in a living room with modern furniture. The creamy weathered legs and dark glossy wooden top also up the rural charm of a farmhouse living room.
16. Go for Gold
A glint of gold in accessories and fabrics, such as yellow upholstery, can make the living room always sunny regardless of the weather outside. For extra punctuation, install a sunburst mirror consisting of a simple round mirror and bamboo sticks, and then spray paint the sticks with a golden color.
17. Pressed Plants
Pluck branches and leaves from green plants in the park or fields near the home and then press them. Frame the plants for an earthy and natural living room décor.
18. Mix Instead of Match
Mixing patterns and colors is a great way to infuse a room with a happy mood. For a cohesive look, choose patterns of the same color family but vary their scale.
19. Pressed Flowers
On the next hike or walk, pick flowers that can look excellent on the living room wall. Press them and then put them in matching frames. Violets, daisies, and roses with single petals are the easiest to press.
20. Honeycomb Shelves
Swap boring shelves for decorative options like honeycomb shelves. The wood planks not only make the piece aesthetically appealing but also help declutter the living room.
21. Wooden Storage Ladder
It’s simple to construct this ladder. It’s chic, functional, and adds character to the room.
22. Photo Wallpaper
It’s possible to display family photos without framing them. Simply print them onto removable wallpaper to liven up the living room. You can easily change the photos whenever you want.
These creative ideas will help you create a comfortable space that suits your lifestyle, whether you prefer entertaining guests or just relaxing.
