Relax in Style with These Modern Living Room Design Ideas!
1. Add an Accent Wall
The focal point of a room is the most eye-catching part of the decor because, by nature, it draws attention. Either paint your accent wall or wallpaper it to match and make all the other details in that space turn into supporting roles, acting in conjunction with the main element of your accent wall. For example, if you decide to paint an entire room but have one large wall covered in wallpaper then the artwork on that wall will become one of the glorious highlights. To have a theme throughout the room choose a color for your overall design first – then draw out ideas for different pieces using those colors as inspiration.
2. Frame a Fireplace
Consider building a built-in set of shelves above your fireplace, which will create an immediate focal point in any room of the house. These built-in features are relatively easy to add on, and they look best when they’re all roughly the same size and they’re symmetrical. However, you may want to consider covering up the bottom section to use it for extra storage, behind doors. For this living room design, we decided to go with open shelves to allow light from the windows to flow freely into the space – but feel free to decorate this area with some accessories if you prefer it closed off! Place a pair of sconces or wall lights on either side of these new and impressive shelves and then complete the matching theme by hanging a large mirror or painting above them for an eye-catching focal point in your home.
3. Cluster Coffee Tables
If you find yourself short on space but in need of an appropriate place to set your drinks, try pairing up your smaller tables. In theory, a coffee table is another table but this can be put together to double the size or just create an extra surface. Try mixing and matching different shapes sizes and styles. Napkin holders, magazines, remotes, etc will help give that used-chic vibe.
4. Compose an Art Wall
Hanging artwork can be a bit of a challenge sometimes. If you’ve got a big wall, try grouping smaller pieces together to create an art wall. Arrange them on the floor first to see how you want your gallery-style collage to look. A good rule of thumb is to keep the same amount of space between each piece.
