Your Guide to a Perfectly Decorated Living Room

home renovation san diego

If you’re looking for a way to liven up the interior of your home, your living room is definitely the right place to start. With the help of trusted home renovation experts in San Diego, you can introduce the latest living room design trends and create a look that sparks creativity and reflects your style and personality.

These skilled pros will assist you through every stage of the project, ensuring you select the right paint for the walls, pick quality furniture, and avoid making some of the most common decorating mistakes. Let’s learn more about the most important aspects of living room design and get some fresh ideas on how you can decorate yours with zero hassle.

How should I decorate my living room?

Take a look at the following living room design tips and choose your favorite ones:

1. Mix light and dark colors

If your living room is small, you might want to incorporate bright tones into its design to create an illusion of spaciousness. However, going all white can make the room seem too sterile and devoid of character. On the other hand, too many dark nuances can make even a large room seem cramped and unappealing. So, instead of choosing one or the other option, create a nice balance and incorporate both dark and light hues.

2. Combine different textures

As with the colors, you should try to strike a nice balance between different textures in your living room. On the one hand, soft textures like plush, cotton, and wool will make your living room feel comfy, while the hard ones like metal, stone, and glass will add a nice contrast to the design and create a more contemporary vibe.

3. Choose durable materials

Aside from focusing on the aesthetic appeal of your living room and ensuring that the seating is comfortable, you need to make sure it’s durable as well. Fabrics have come a long way in the technical department and “performance” fabrics that are impervious to stains and tears and an especially popular choice among families with small children and pets. Additionally, fabrics like corduroy and denim can look super chic and are at the same time very low-maintenance and practical. 

Another great choice is leather. If treated with proper protectants, leather can be very resilient to stains and can be easily cleaned. However, if you have pets, it might not be the best option since it is easily scratched. To pick the best materials for your living room, you should take your needs and lifestyle into consideration and consult the experts for advice.

4. Add a splash of color

Adding some vivid and bright tones to your living room design will make it look more inviting and warm. Whether it’s an accent wall, cheerful wall art, or chic accessories, you should be looking for hues that are pleasing to the eye and work great with the rest of the design. Adding a dash of color to your living room is also a great way to express your creativity and get a place that is a perfect representation of who you are and what you like.

5. Purchase lightweight furniture

Finally, to achieve flexibility in the design and ensure you can always adjust it to your needs, you might want to opt for less bulky/heavy furniture that can be moved around easily. That way, you can always re-arrange the seating in the room and get a fresh look without introducing a single new piece.
