10 Rules to Keep in Mind When Decorating a Living Room

Whether you're lounging on the couch, watching TV with family, or entertaining friends, you likely use your living room every single day. Learn how to decorate yours so that it looks its very best with these tips.

Living rooms serve many functions. Some homes have formal living rooms, while others use the space for a family room, playroom, or TV room. Whatever you use this space for, designing a room that's comfortable and inviting is key to making the most of it. Here, learn how to organize and position your living room furniture in the most effective and appealing way.

Focus on the Focal Point

Do you have a large piece of artwork, entertainment system, or fireplace in your living room? Finding a room's natural focal point is a great place to start when creating your design. Most homes will have one major point of interest that is the first thing you notice when entering the room, and while not all furniture has to face it, you should consider centering the room around this main feature.

Create a Center

Whether it's a coffee table, ottoman, or group of chairs, it's important that your living room has a noticeable center. If you have a larger room you can incorporate multiple center points, such as a coffee table at one end of the room and an additional seating area at the other end.

Make It Functional

The layout of your living room should always be functional. This is best achieved by considering how many people will be using the room and what will it be used for. You can then decide the style, size, and amount of furnishings you will need.

Select Scaled Pieces

Another rule of thumb for decorating a living room is to create balance by choosing scaled pieces. If you want a well-balanced atmosphere, pick pieces differing in size and height that balance each other out. Place the larger pieces in the room first, then arrange the smaller items around the main furniture.

Add Dimension

Texture and dimension will top off your living room by adding visual appeal and interest. While decorations are usually the last details to be selected for a space, picking the right ones can be the biggest struggle. Create height and depth to your living room by adding artwork, photos, shelves, or mirrors to the walls. When hanging any art or items on the wall, consider the height from the wall edge and the ceiling; it's best to put décor at eye level and centered.

Incorporate Lighting

In order to create a bright and open living room, it's important to layer light sources. Even if you have one main overhead light, try incorporating different styles of light fixtures, such as lamps on side tables, accent lighting within bookshelves, and even candles. One of the easiest ways to add light to your living room is by arranging the furniture around your windows.

Shop smart when selecting your rug.

If you're starting with the sofa, choose the rug next, advises Gage. "Make sure you measure the room and order the proper size," she shares, noting to also consider the general wear of the room when making this purchase. "For most people, their living room is a high-traffic area, housing children, pets, and guests. Wool is going to be a durable option for that reason." And when it's time to consider the color, think back to your couch selection. "If you chose a bright sofa, perhaps you want a neutral rug with some pattern. If you picked a gray linen sectional, opt for a rug that will add a pop of color to your space," she says.
