I need help decorating a living room?
I have a very large living room and I love it but I am not sure how to decorate it and neither does my boyfriend. We really want to make this place our own but were not sure where to start. Oh and we are allowed to paint. My landlord does not care.
We want to create a very bright and inviting living room. We have people over a lot and party a lot so we want it to make people feel welcome and comfortable.
I am not sure what to do first and I am not sure what colors would be good. We are very unpicky people. We just really want it to look good. We do want it classy though because we want it to feel like home.
If you have any suggestions or comments, I would love to hear them. Or if you know of good webpages to go to for easy and simply projects to do and stuff like that I would apprechiate it. I am desperate because I have no idea what I am doing. Thank you!
Find your focal point – what do you want to emphasize – window/view, fireplace, archway; try to arrange your room to accent that view. Look in your closets to see what colors you are both drawn (sic) to. Use that as your base pallette. Mix textures and tones and prints in your soft goods to avoid going too feminine or too masculine. It also helps to go thru magazines and pick photos that you like, assemble a bunch and them and then determine what the commonalities are – style, color,etc.
Also consider dividing your room into 2 seating areas that can be pulled together for entertaining larger groups.
Have fun!

Try sponge painting the wall in several different shades to match your floors and accessories. It is fun and easy.

if you’re renting, don’t waste your time with a faux finish of any sort, a professional is very expensive, and if you have no experience and you do it, then it will look terrible.
paint the room a light gold tone of some sort, if the trim and other woodwork is painted, then paint it white. if it is stained wood, just polish it with furniture polish. liquid gold comes to mind….

why don’t you create an accent wall (bold/fun) first? If you like the effect, you can paint the remaining 3 walls, or just leave it at that.
