Living room: Must have accessories for your living room
Giving your living room a quick and easy makeover is a great way to brighten up the mood around your house. Living room is the focal point of a home and is much more than a place for recreation and relaxation. It’s a room where you relax and play…a room where you would like to put your feet up and read a nice book sipping your cup of coffee after a long day or cosy up with your family or simply entertain.
Commonfloor helps you bring the right balance in your living room with our list of must have accessories which can magically transform your living area.
Small Touches:
If elegant, dark tones are more your style, toss in a few bright accessories for an unexpected burst of color. In this space, red pillows and flowers pop against the cool, neutral color scheme.
Glamour and Glitz:
Fabulous fabrics and continuous color give this room a glamorous feel. A zebra-stripe chair and a glitzy light fixture provide a youthful oomph, while the colors in the collage of record covers are repeated in the throw pillows and centerpiece items.
The Lamp:
“Lamps are the No. 1 item you can place in a room and truly transform it. The color of a lamp is like a new handbag. You get a new handbag, and it helps you transform outfits and add a pop of color,” says decorator, Vinita Chaitanya.
Wall art:
Artwork is a really great way to add color to a room. Bold and dramatic, it can magically transform your living area into a conversation piece. Stark living room with dramatic artwork does not require any other décor elements. And if you are working on a budget, then don on your creative hat. Combine thrift store finds and bargain buys into a fun, colorful gallery. To bring a little coordination to an eclectic look, carry a common color theme throughout accessories.
Commonfloor tip: Use a neutral background as the canvas for pops of bright color, clean lines, and funky patterns. If your walls are gray or off white in color, then chocolate brown sofas form the perfect accessory with bright plants, art and accessories which keep the room from looking cold.
Stand Out
Be bold and choose a primary color that makes a statement, such as this vibrant yellow. Blue and pink accessories bring lively blocks of accent colors, and a classic black-and-white area rug and artwork ensure that color doesn’t overwhelm the eye.
Candles:
To create an ambience that oozes charm can be as simple as dotting your living area with candles. An instant make over magic – the room oozes of visual warmth that the soft glow of the candles radiate.
A storage tray:
Having a beautiful tray or a bowl in your living room will make your room look organized. Ensure that the storage objects that you choose should be delicate and grab the visitor’s attention.
Create an innovative wall by hanging wall arts in the living room. You can also create a memory wall in your living room by carefully framing all your family pictures and hanging them on the wall. Other wall arts can include pictures, posters, hangings, art work, craft work and so on. Apart from just the wall art you can also have a painted wall, textured wall or an accent wall in your living room.
An apt set of furniture:
Buy a bean bag or a lounge chair and place it in an apt place of your living room. Futons and colorful mats also create a beautiful visual poetry in your living space. Dot a corner with a grandpa chair or a bamboo swing.
Indoor plants:
Nothing can inject a sense of life into a room better than a living thing. And when it comes to a living thing, what can be more beautiful than a living green plant in a decorative plant stand? If you think that introducing a plant thing is too much of high maintenance, then you can introduce a pot filled with oversize leaves, flowers and branches can give your living room a fresh and serene look by placing attractive indoor plants. Apart from just cultivating plants in a pot you can also have container plants and vertical garden in your living room area with sunlight.
