When you decorate your home, you want to create a space that reflects your personality and provides comfort to your family and guests. This is especially true for your living room, where you do a lot of your entertaining. Here are five decorating ideas to enhance your living room.

Unique Ways to Decorate a Living Room

1. Utilize Houseplants 

Houseplants improve your home’s air quality and add color to your living room. They will draw your guests’ attention, so place them in an area that you want to highlight. 

2. Use Light Colors to Brighten the Room

3. Think Local

Have your living room reflect your community, by decorating it with objects and materials from your area. Buy local plants, antiques from your area, and furniture from a local store.

4. Match Furniture Textures

Match the textures, patterns, and colors in the room. For example, use only leather couches and chairs to create a comfortable and elegant feel. Make sure that your leather couches and chairs all have a similar color and texture. 

5. Create Open Space

To create space in your room, place the furniture close to the center of the room. This helps your living room look more open, and if you host frequent parties and social events, it will provide sufficient room for people to mingle.
