Living Room Decorating

There's a reason why the iconic retailer has been a sofa go-to for decades.

This is the best life hack for indecisive art shoppers.

A common problem with many living spaces is either going too overboard with stuff that the whole space feels unpleasant, or trying to go minimal and ending up with a room that feels empty. But there’s a perfect sweet spot where you can have a room that has just the right amount of elements. We think this living room gets it just right. This room from Hannah & Brandon’s “Ever Evolving” Classically Modern Reno is working beautifully because of these design details: 1.

You're going to love the rattan sofa we found.

One of the trickiest things about decorating a new space is picking out colors. So I’ve selected ten rooms that get color right, in hopes that one of them will catch your eye. Get ready for some serious inspiration. Above: the soft blues and greys of this space, from Woman Magazine, get just the right dose of warmth from a Beni Ourain rug and a pair of wooden side tables. This joyful combination of colors reads as less than riotous because it’s set against a white background.

It's simply stunning.

Curtains have never looked so chic.

It’s a common misconception that small spaces can’t handle large furnishings. One large piece can do a lot to make a small room inviting, anchored, and even feel bigger! Take the sofa, for instance. Arranging a small sofa in a tight space with a couple of other chairs can make a space feel over-full, with little spots of furniture all over the place (not to mention all of those legs!).

After you’ve picked out the architecture (or are working with what you’ve been stuck with) and after you’ve chosen the major furnishings and the paint colors, there’s the other thing that can make a room sing: skillful styling. This year, make each room pop like never before with these potent styling tricks for stand-out spaces! Add visual height to your spaces — all of them.

Have you ever been in a home that just feels right? One where chairs pull out easily from the dining table and conversation can be made without shouting across the living room? Well there are reasons for that, and they probably have a lot to do with the spacing and placement of furniture. Following a few simple guidelines on furniture placement will make a world of difference in the functionality of your home’s layout.

It looks so luxe and everyone asks me about it.

We all want our living rooms to reflect the very best version of ourselves, but we also want them to be a haven to relax in at the end of the day. These rooms do just that.

From small-space-friendly lighting to luxe-looking throw pillows.
