Living Rooms
Before decorating your living room remove everything that does not belong and put it away. This will eliminate clutter. The living room is the central place in your home for family and social gatherings. There are several styles to choose from when decorating your living room. The styles are traditional, symmetry, contemporary, and casual/country living rooms. First decide what makes you comfortable and design and decorate around that. You will create a place that makes you and your guests feel special and pampered.A Traditional living Room does not have to be boring or dull. You can mix and match your furniture with antiques to accent the traditional furniture. As long as the wood matches you can accent the room with different styles. Accenting the living room with fabrics with a bit of sheen will enhance the traditional setting. This can be also achieved with tailored sofa skirts and exposed legs, re-upholstering furniture or adding throw pillows in chintzes, jacquards, any fabric with sheen.
Symmetry living rooms tend to be formal and balanced. You decorate in threes; one large piece with two smaller ones. If you have one window in your living room place a chair on each side, large artwork - add a sconce on either side. This will add balance and give you a new look. Hang one large painting centered above the sofa to join the space. Matching wood tones and upholstery will complement your setting.
A Contemporary living room is stylish and refined with clean lines. You begin with a focal point - something big and bold. An oversized print with a simple frame for example. Accessorize with glass tables, stainless steel or brushed aluminum. Choose furniture and accessories that are simple: essentially express their own materials. Contemporary fabrics can include the unusual or the texturedleather, linen, velvet. Lighting is an essential element. In the contemporary setting spot lights on artwork or sculptures will add elegance and drama.
A Casual/Country living room is an informal setting. The textures are rough rather than smooth. Consider easy care fabrics no shiny textiles or dry clean only fabrics. Denims and homespun cottons make you feel at home. Casual fabrics are the same as casual clothingdenim, khaki, flannels… think comfort. In casual living rooms a mixture of furnishings will relax your room. Adding a throw across the back of the couch or adding throw pillows can change the atmosphere.
No matter what style you choose, if you add or change lighting in your living room the ambiance changes. Adding new window coverings or accents around the room will also make a difference. Enjoy and have fun with your new living room.
Hire a decorator for Living room

Decide if you want to use the current furniture or start over with new. The advantage of hiring a decorator is that they take the worry out of decorating. They are the professionals. The decorator brings the color swatches of material to you and you choose your colors for your living room.
