Keep it simple yet elegant: Elegance lies in being simple. ‘The more the better’ is a phrase that should only be used when talking about food. Ha-Ha.

Add some smooth lighting to the room and you’ll be all praised.

This way your living room will always reflect happiness and positive, cheerful vibes. Paint the walls in some interesting bright color, and get the furniture in the contrasting colors. Some colorful curtains and cushions can take this up a notch.

A comfortable living room is easy to have. Just add some extra pillows and cushion, with a soft blanket (if needed). Some soft rugs, and warm sofa and/or sectionals can do absolute wonder.

No matter what colors come in fashion, what designs are award-winning, your place would never run out of style. How cool is that? All you need to do is to pick two colors and make everything in your living room accordingly. What could be a better option than going for two most evergreen colors, black and white. They would make you look subtle and graceful

Just keep it minimal. Get in a couch, a chair, a decent mat, and a wall unit for the TV, accessories and other items. This way you would look clean and crisp with not extra efforts. This style is beneficial for both, houses with small living rooms, and the ones with spacious living rooms.
