If you’ve just moved into your spectacular Middle Tennessee home (or if you’re only thinking about buying a custom home in the Nashville area), you’re probably thinking in overdrive about how you’re going to decorate. If you haven’t already hired a professional, check out these simple décor ideas that can turn your house into a magazine-worthy showplace.
10 Amazing Living Room Decorating Ideas
- Mix-and-match. Blending vintage pieces with modern architecture can create a wonderfully refreshing environment.
- Layer neutral colors. If your walls are cream-colored, think about having your window frames and door frames painted light brown; this can add depth and visual aesthetics.
- Create your own gallery. Establish one wall to use to display art. Use a contrasting mix of frames, sizes and even shapes to make that wall a fabulous focal point.
- Skip the heavy drapes. Opting for mobile shoji screens instead of blinds, drapes or curtains can let in more natural light and make the room appear even larger.
- Embrace nature. Use natural, neutral colors and accessorize with bamboo tables, teak shelves or other outdoor-inspired materials.
- Add memories to your décor. Grandma’s knitted throw, Uncle Bob’s football trophies and the antique family photo you dug out of your great-aunt’s attic add serious charm (and great focal points) to any living room.
- Go bold, or go… home. It’s okay to have one extremely bold pattern—as long as it’s kept to one or two pieces—because it prevents boredom and adds a splash of style.
- Set up a conversation spot. One corner of your living room can serve as a cozy spot where you unwind with your other half and chat in comfortable chairs with a cozy ottoman or two.
- Symmetry is back in. Add balance to your living room by making sure your furnishings are lined up and are close matches in size.
- Pick a bold accent color. When all of your decorative elements seem to blend together because the colors are so similar, pick something boldly different and add a few throw pillows, a rug, a table or even an ottoman to create a vibrant, lively look.
