How to Decorate a Living Room: 10 Ideas You Will Love

Some people spend their evenings here with family, others - loud parties with friends. In any case, the living room design should be stylish and memorable, as it is the 'face' of your home. We tell you how to make the room's interior even more impactful.

1. Carpet Constructor

Carpeting is once again in style (large Soviet palas hiding the entire floor - not included). Designers experiment with shape, shades, and materials. A modern solution is an original carpet constructor. It can become a colorful accent in a monochrome interior. Unusual prints or vibrant color palettes are welcome.

2. Blinds Instead of Curtains

Not the most popular, but very modern and functional solution for a living room. The main advantage over traditional curtains is the ability to adjust the light flow. This is especially convenient if there is a lot of technology in the room (TV, computer), which needs to be hidden from bright sunlight during the day.

Blinds are also used when it's necessary to visually expand the space, creating an illusion of its continuation behind the windows.

3. TV as an Art Object

Instead of a standard black screen, you can choose original models. Samsung's The Frame TV, for example, looks like a painting when turned off. Similar effects can be achieved with several passepartout modes, removable frames, and the ability to mount paintings by artists or your own photos on the screen.

The Frame can be mounted on the wall: thanks to its special mounting structure, there is no gap between the screen and the wall. All functional elements of the device are placed in a separate block, which is connected using a thin, inconspicuous cable.

Alternatively, The Frame can be mounted on a special stand-leg: this variant looks very unusual. The smart cable management system will free you from the eternal problem of hanging and tangled cables.

4. Paintings and Art Objects

They can be just part of the decor or set the tone for the entire room. The choice is vast: from classical art objects, family photos to truly unusual modern compositions. To tone down overly loud art objects, use interesting ideas: for example, collage the artwork.

5. Bar Counter

An impressive way to zone, combining decorative and functional elements. The dining area, a place for activities and creativity, friendly conversations - you will easily find use for this useful and stylish interior item. To further highlight the space, use several suspended zone lighting fixtures.

6. Cozy Living Room

To some, fur in interior design, especially artificial fur, seems cheap and kitsch. But ultimately, it all depends on proper use. Soft fur throws - a detail that can make the setting truly cozy. To avoid crossing the line, refrain from complex forms and overly bright decor: there should only be one accent, and it should be solely on the fur corner.

7. Bright Accessories

Monochrome interiors come alive with bright details. These can be carpets, throws, cushions, tables, paintings - whatever the heart desires. The key is not to do everything at once.

8. More Greenery

A simple way to quickly liven up the interior. Today, various vertical gardens in living spaces are gaining popularity. Following the latest fashion trends is not necessary, caring for such a wall is not simple. However, a couple of large floor plants will noticeably refresh the atmosphere. They improve air humidity and help 'rest' your eyes.

9. Chalkboard or Board

A real must-have for natural creative and unconventional people. Leave a message, draw something funny, write down a phone number - with the functionality, you'll easily figure it out yourself.

You can choose neat mobile boards, wall panels, or even decorate an entire wall with chalkboard coating. However, there are clear drawbacks: dark tones can make the setting gloomy and shadowed. If there is already little light in the interior, use only small chalkboards.

10. Suspended Hammock Chair

An unusual interior element will become a cozy spot for rest and at the same time an effective design solution. We usually encounter suspended hammocks on spacious garden verandas and in outdoor settings. What prevents installing an original chair in the living room is a lack of space, but if there's enough room - go for it. Placing such an item in the living room will bring romance of summer evenings outdoors.
