Tips on How to Decorate a Living Room

Regardless of your style, there’s an art to decorating a room that fits your aesthetic. Here are some tips on how to decorate a living room like a professional.

Mix Light and Dark Paint Colors

We’re used to seeing rooms in one color only. But, when you combine dark and light living room paint colors, you create a dynamic look that adds depth and balance to your space.

Contrast Neutral Colors

On that same note, remember that you can contrast neutral colors as well. For example, white walls can create a crisp contrast to caramel leather accents and brass hardware. Using contrasting tones makes the palette feel richer, and it will give you a striking look as you start adding more color and texture. 
 

Play With Texture

If you don’t feel confident using color to create a unique look, incorporate different textures instead. You can include texture by adding leather, cotton, wool, stone, glass, and many other textures as you wish. 

Mix Your Upholstery

As you start to be more creative and playful with your furniture choices, try to mix up your upholstery. Mix and match pieces to give your decor more personality and break up the style. One of the safest ways to do this is to mix leather chairs with a fabric sofa or vice versa. 

Choose Movable Furniture

When choosing your tables, stools, and ottomans, make sure they’re easy to move. This will give you many options to choose from, and it creates a more dynamic living room space that can adapt to your needs.
