They say simplicity wins.However its important to understand that simplicity doesn't mean absence of style. For something to appear and feel simple, it has to be appealing to the eye.
For a design to be considered simple yet appealing, one has to do the following.
1. Mix light and dark.
When a living room is all white and bright, it can feel too “clean” and unapproachable. This doesn’t give a relaxing feeling as much as a living room should be.
2. Create some Contrast
Beyond including some white and some black, decorating a living room with a variety of contrasting colours goes a long way toward making it feel rich and welcoming.A good example is when you have white walls, caramel sofa, brass hardware, grey sofa and blue-grey cabinets all contrast with one another, which highlights their different finishes and undertones. This makes the palette feel rich even before other key elements pattern and texture, are added.
3. Make good choices for texture
One may be wondering why texture should matter yet it is mainly judged by touching unlike other elements that are seen. It’s good to note that the right textures makes a living room feel cosy. Comforter pillows are a great place to start while decorating a living room.
4. Mix up your upholstery
Traditionally, it has been perceived that a good décor theme is made of matching furnishes. This concept is now out-dated. If you want a living room to feel cosy and welcoming, mix and match your upholstered pieces to give the design a bit more personality. One of the safest ways to do this is to mix leather chairs with a fabric sofa or vice versa, so the materials contrast in an obviously intentional way. It gives the living room design some diversity, which can also give members of the family different options to suit their seating preferences.
5. Keep it neat
Soiled furnishes gives a bad impression of your space.
No matter how expensive your upholstery may be, if they are un-kept they won’t bring out the design and the warmth that they should. Choosing fabrics that can be cleaned easily is a great way of ensuring neatness in your living room.
6. Include some nice wood work
We can’t talk about living room without talking about wood. There are so many ways to add wood, any of which will make a space feel a bit more inviting. Consider wall panelling, side tables, movable stools, picture frames, sofa legs and carved pieces of art as just a few of the many options.
