Color/wallpaper

This is one of the simplest and most important tips you can follow in your design. Color influences in many ways our mood and our engagement with spaces, and with that premise, the best you can do is refresh your living room with a new color or even opt for a bolder wallpaper.

The focus of their collections is to elevate raw materials in their natural state, intertwining history with technological innovation by bringing out the best that production methods can provide.

Furniture Layout

A living room with a layout that can be moved around gives you a multitude of decorative options. Over time we create a static image of our surroundings, and the likelihood of getting tired of that look is quite high. To prevent this from happening, bet on changing some pieces of furniture and you will have a new room to enjoy your relaxing time.

Cushions, rugs, and curtains

The changing seasons are a great excuse to renew your living room decor with a small investment.

Cushion covers are one of the easiest pieces to change and will bring a freshness to your sofa that you won’t expect.  By replacing the covers, you will automatically create a significantly more comfortable focal point, both in the look of the space and the feel.

At the same time, curtains play a key role when it comes to determining whether a living room is comfortable enough or not. Change your curtains for ones of a different color or texture and you will feel that they will fill a void, creating an understated harmony between everything.

To complement everything else, rugs do an incredible job in creating a cozy, standout aesthetic. Renew your main rug and you will experience an even more comfortable living room.

Frames and mirrors

Blank walls take away the cozy feel of the space and provide no emotion to those who visit. Add a picture or a mirror to your walls, so that they match the rest of the decoration. Frames with family photos are wonderful solutions, or even with drawings painted by the little ones. Modern art is great for those looking for a contemporary vibe. Antique and wooden clocks make the room look elegant, as well as a mirror in a metal frame to complete a more modern style.

Decorative Items

The world of decorative items is infinite, and this is where you can take a chance and put all your personality and taste in selecting pieces that will really make a difference in your interior. Changing fragrances according to the season is a very interesting tip. The association of smell to change stimulates you to think of new things and automatically the mood changes. Decorative bowls and exclusive books denote your good taste to follow the trends and to keep up with what is modern. Invest in it!

Lighting

They come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. Placing different types of lamps will make your living room eclectic and sophisticated. Arrange them in different corners of your living room and the atmosphere will be sublime. Scented candles bring an indispensable mystique to a renovated room, which will provoke feelings of stimulation or relaxation of the mind.

Bookcases and Shelves

When styling a bookcase in your space, it is essential to envision a cohesion between the decorative elements you choose. Vary the shapes, sizes and heights of all of them to maintain a sophisticated connection. Bet on a family picture frame, a painting by an inspiring artist, a souvenir of your dream trip, or a photo album. These are some of the most beautiful features you can fill your bookshelf with, making you look at it and feel that everything that is really important to you is there.
