Living Room Essentials To Have Now

Whether you are lounging in the comfort of your own home or having friends and family over, most of the time spent takes place in the living room. This room represents the owners personality and style in some way or form. Here are some inspirational ideas to spice things up and transform your Living Room look:

Conversation Pieces

A coffee table made out of tree-trunk oak, gigantic sea shells you’ve hand picked from your snorkeling adventure in Cozumel, a unique sculpture depicting two dancers in love, crocodile boxes that store blankets; These are examples of something unique that can stir up conversation. It can be something representative of you, your culture, passions, hobbies, and makes for a great conversation starter.

Textured and Fabric Wall Paper

Better than paint in our humble opinion. Our favorites are the genuine Mother of Pearl shell in Madam’s Hilton’s bathroom to plush lavender velvet.

Lighting

Lighting is all the difference and setting the mood for any room is key. In the living room you want to have access to create a great vibe for either entertaining or even a low-key type of night. Whether it be from recessed lighting with a ‘dimming’ feature (Lamps with lower watts also accomplish this purpose) to candles, it will create a sexy ambience.

Artwork

Art can transform any room, and take you to a place that is not even real. It can be real or fiction but either case it will make you think outside of where you are standing at the moment.

Throw Blanket, Statement Pillows, and Colorful Rugs

In the fall and winter when you want a cozier vibe with fur throws, in the spring and summer switch it up with color and cotton.

Mirrors

Any mirror can make a room seem bigger, but they also add dimension. If used properly a mirror can change a room dramatically. In fact, a new trend in interior design is mirrored furniture, these ultimately make any room look larger.

Accent Chairs

The ultimate piece of seating, almost throne like and depending on your style, it very could well be. This chair should be an extension of not only your furniture but also the decor. It will help harmonize practicality and art.

Center Pieces 

The focal point of the room. Where your eyes first go to, what do you want that to be? Depending on the setup of your living room, this could be a statue or sculpture placed on your mantle. Whatever it is make you sure you love it, as it will set the tone for the rest of the room.

Collectables with or without Numismatic Value

Whether it be classic boardgames from your childhood, or magazines that have inspired you over the years, put them on display or give them a home so you can easily access them whenever you want.

Coffee Table Books Suited To Your Taste

Even just glancing at the collection you can identify the type of person you are and the interests you may have. Whether your collection includes fashion, music, architecture, culinary, or even travel, they can also even help inspire your interior design.

Pictures of you YOLO-ing and Having Fun with Friends and Family

Family, friends, vacations, these are the things we love. The fun part is picking out the frames to store your memories in, it is a time to get creative! Either keeping it simple with a uniform look or switching it up by harmonizing different frames, whatever suites your room.
