• Central Storage

A living room without a central table is almost like a model without lipstick. These have many purposes, from display to storage. A coffee table placed at the centre of your sofa set can act as a storage place where you can keep the important stuff that you need while seated on a sofa, such as a TV remote, magazines, books, etc. It can also serve as a place where you can keep your drinks while relaxing on your sofa.

So, a coffee table is a must for a living room, especially because it can help a great deal to keep your space clean as it discourages the temptation to place things wherever you are. There is a whole good range of different coffee table designs that you can buy to match your sofa set and the theme. Coffee tables specially made of glass, wood and steel can give your space a rich vibe without much effort. It acts as a stylistic and functional piece altogether.

• Chair Fanatic

• Go Green

This can be the most interesting thing to add to your living space décor items. Greenery helps in adding life and calmness to your living room. The way it fills your space with positive energy is immense, and one could always feel that energy everywhere in the room. Whether you opt for succulents or indoor plants, adding green plants can make your space a happy space and is an easy way to breathe life into your space, especially if it’s a compact space.

Indoor plants such as snake plants, dracaena, succulents, spider plants, money plants, peace lily, aloe vera, etc., are a great option to incorporate greenery into your space as they require less sunlight. There is a natural flow of oxygen that these plants ensure to keep ourselves relaxed and calm. These are also air-purifying plants and are easy to maintain as well. Keeping plants in your room is also known to reduce stress while boosting your mood. 

• Fabric Play

Decorating the living room with textured and cosy fabrics is a great way to add personality to your space. You can place some throw blankets onto your chair or sofa to make your living space a little bit cosier. This is especially good in cold areas to add a touch of warmth to your living room. Throw blankets are also not heavy, so you can place them without any effort. These not only look good but also acts as a decorative accent. Mastering a few folding or draping techniques will help you to display your favourite throws with a designer look. Throw blankets can be used to cover or hide any stained or damaged part of your sofa, chair or furniture as well. Choose a good quality throw blanket, and you are good to go.

Apart from throw blankets, you can also include carpets and rugs on your floor to keep your floors clean and neat, along with adding some fun to your floors. There are plenty of designer rugs and carpets available in the market to choose from. Additionally, these reduce dust and are comfortable to walk on. Rugs and carpets can also create harmony, and we can use them pretty much to define and separate areas such as seating or dining areas. There are also different shapes of rugs and carpets available to match the personality of your living space.

• Sheer Curtains

Include curtains if you want to control the amount of light entering your living space. Curtains can give you a sense of privacy as well. It provides just the right amount of privacy needed without completely blocking everything. Curtains such as sheer curtains provide UV protection and allow the sunlight to pass through the window without overexposing to the sun.

These are affordable and usually made from cotton or cotton blends which makes them lightweight. With such great versatility, you will be getting more than you pay for. Buy sheer curtains that match your wall colour and your personality to get a lovely vibe. Further, the sheer curtain’s play in the wind is something delightful to watch.

• Cushion It Up

Cushions are an enclosed cover of cloth stuffed with soft material such as cotton, used as comfortable support while sitting or leaning. Cushions are often placed on the sofa for posture support and to add decorative touches to your mundane furniture. 

There are different cushions available for different purposes. For example, the large cushions are great for sitting on the floors, while small cylindrical cushions are best used as an armrest, and coloured cushions bring out contrast to your living space.
