Living Room Essentials

The living room is a high-traffic area of the home where guests tend to congregate, making it a space that's always on display. As such, it deserves special attention when it comes to decor.
Here are the essential items you need to elevate your living room into the perfect hang-out spot:

A COMFORTABLE LOUNGE

Invest in a stylish and comfortable sofa that's perfect for binge-watching Netflix or spending a rainy day on. Be sure to test out different options before settling on the perfect one for you. Add some plush cushions for extra comfort.

A COSY THROW

A cosy throw is essential for curling up on the sofa and watching a movie. It adds both comfort and texture to your living room decor.

A READING CHAIR

Your living room needs a reading chair, also known as an accent chair or armchair, for flexible guest seating and a place to enjoy a cup of tea all to yourself. Choose a chair that you absolutely love and fits the proportions of your room, it doesn't have to match your sofa.

A STATEMENT RUG

An area rug adds texture and creates clear zones in your living room, making it look more put-together. Be sure to choose a rug that's large enough for your sofa legs to sit on top of it.

STATEMENT ART

Make your living room more interesting by incorporating statement art. This can be a beautiful piece of original art or a photographic print that reflects your personality and style. Experiment with colour through your art, especially if you're keeping your furniture neutral.

COFFEE TABLE

A coffee table is a central piece of furniture in a living room that can hold refreshments, books, and decorative objects. Coffee table books also serve as decor and can be entertaining for guests. When choosing a coffee table, consider the size and clearance required to prevent obstruction and overcrowding.

GREENERY

Houseplants add a touch of nature to your living room, providing a connection to the outdoors that is often lacking in urban environments. Whether you prefer succulents or tropical palms, plants are a must-have for a stylish living room.

LIGHTING

Lamps create a more flattering and aesthetically pleasing ambiance than ceiling lights alone. Floor lamps, wall sconces, and table lamps are all great options to introduce secondary sources of mood lighting to your living room.

MIRRORS

Mirrors can make a room appear larger and brighter by reflecting light and creating the illusion of space. Lean a mirror against a wall or hang it above a fireplace to achieve this effect.

PERSONALISE

Decorate your living room with personal items that reflect your personality, travels, and cherished relationships. Picture frames and souvenirs from your travels can serve as a reminder of happy times and boost your mood on low days. Create a vignette with a few meaningful items to showcase them.
