Living room decor creates an inviting space for guests or homeowners by filling the area with throw pillows, blankets, and soft textures. Additionally, choose seating arrangements that encourage conversation or help situate a space for a specific task. Finally, adding plants or scented candles adds a warm, welcoming touch to a room.
Decorating on a budget is about making the most out of what you have. For example, use existing decor in a new arrangement (such as a gallery wall) or update a space with artificial plants for a natural look. Minimalism will also transform your area, making the room feel fresh and modern.

Colorful, jewel-toned throw pillows add a liveliness to the room, which features subtle pale gray-green walls and neutral fabrics. Artwork placed directly across a tinted yellow mirror balances out the opposite side of the room and allows the artwork to be seen from those sitting directly under the sofa.
Botanical artworks compliment the textiles and add to the country feel. Clean white walls and white pieces such as the lamp and side table ensure the space feels modern, light and airy - useful if you're looking for small living room ideas.

A harmonious and joyful living room has been created using the colors in the rug as the center point, pulling tones out to feature within the scheme. Muted pink walls offer just the right background palette and work well set against the crisp whites, which are key in the mix to offer breathing space amid all the color.
A common solution for a bay window in a living room is to covert it into a window seat. Instead, use a bay window as a bright-but-cozy inlet for a statement sofa, a la this space by Connecticut-based Camden Grace Interiors. Think of it as the window seat's sophisticated older cousin. Add sconces and you'll have your new favorite reading nook.
More often than not, we choose our living room art ideas at the end of the decorating process, but actually, a favorite painting can be used as your starting point, as Cath Beckett, Co-Founder of British Interior Design Studio, Yellow London explains:
How we love the terracotta tones of this living room, which has been created with a Zinc Textile x Martin Hulbert Design collaboration. Plaster-effect walls combine with dark wood to conjure up a desert-home feel that's really appealing. The low-slung sofa is a clever trick designers use to make rooms seem loftier.
There are a few ways to pull off such a daring look. One, choose an inspiration piece, like a rug or artwork, to pull hues from. This ensures your room stays cohesive and creates a reference point for each color.
'In a quiet corner, the elegant form of a classical pedestal table offers the perfect perch for a display of shapely vessels. The cool white marble top, ensures a modern classic feel, as does the monochrome palette which works beautifully against the natural plaster walls and warmth of the cane chair seat, wooden floors and woven rug,' says H&G's decorating editor Emma Thomas, of this room that we recently created for a Classic Decorating set.
She brings this to the living rooms she designs by combining neutrals with a ton of wood textures, which make the spaces feel easy to live with, airy and bright, but warm and welcoming, too. Here, the wooden ceiling is the star of the show, subtly echoed below by the warm tones in the furniture and soft furnishings.
If you are looking for long living room ideas that make cold and disunited spaces feel more cohesive and welcoming, look to this room. Lots of texture in furnishings, furniture and even wall surfaces and flooring, can make the space feel more cohesive and warmer.
In the living room picture above, the rug is the dominant textural feature in the room, echoed by the material the blinds are made from and the various pieces of wooden or wicker furniture. The effect is heightened and complemented by the texture of the wall panels.

At that point, it's time to consider how to choose your living room furniture, taking into account how you use the space, what kind of sofa you prefer, how many armchairs you can fit in, whether you need a sofa bed, and the importance of a coffee table or ottoman, and of course side tables to put a drink on. The right furniture can make a huge difference to the feeling of a room. Consider the scale of it - you don't want tiny furniture drowning in a huge room, although small living rooms can often benefit from some oversized furniture. In an open plan living room-cum-kitchen, furniture can be essential for breaking up the space; a sofa with its back turned to the dining table is a handy way of differentiating between the living space and the dining space. And consider how you use your furniture before you make the final decision - do you prefer to lounge on a squashy sofa or is this a more formal room where you'd prefer to sit upright?

A painting by Catharine Warren provides a distinctive focal point.

The sitting room of this charming Notting Hill pied--terre designed by The List member Sarah Peake of design firm Studio Peake, with fabrics put together by Sophy Toller of Studio Peake, is where both the client and the studio flexed their love of textiles.

It's an unprecious space, as Kate explains, and the dogs are allowed on the sofa.

For this couple with a young child, it was a priority to live in a house that lent itself to family life as much as to entertaining. With the help of Tiffany Duggan, the small terrace in Chelsea is now a space that thrills as much as it functions.
