Creating a beautiful home doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. It’s often the simplest decorating details that make all the difference.
With a few simple decorating ideas, you can transform your living space into a place of beauty and serenity. It’s amazing how a few well-placed lighting fixtures, thoughtfully arranged artworks, and vibrant plants can elevate the overall ambience of your home.
This article takes you through a few practical and inspiring tips to enhance the beauty of your living space. By paying attention to the finer details, you can create a sense of coherence and elegance throughout your home.
Set the Mood with LightingLighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood of your home. Proper lighting can dramatically enhance the ambience of any room.
Consider a layered approach by combining table lamps, floor lamps, and overhead lighting to add depth and warmth to your space. For example, our Highton Floor Lamp and Infinity Table Lamp in White offer stylish options for enhancing your lighting scheme.
Use dimmers to adjust the intensity and create the desired atmosphere in each room. Furthermore, incorporate statement light fixtures that double as decorative elements for an even better effect.
Tell a Story With Your CollectionsDon’t let your collections hide away in the depths of cupboards. Instead, group items together to follow a specific theme to create visually appealing displays. For example, showcase a collection of vintage books or a set of decorative ceramic vases.
Not only do they also add a personal touch to your home and showcase your interests and experiences.
Affordable Creativity With ArtworkContrary to popular belief, you don’t have to break the bank to incorporate art into your home. Look for affordable options such as prints, posters, or even create your artwork. Something like our Glide I and Bahama Palm Wall Art would work beautifully with any interior.
Frame them elegantly and hang them strategically to create a gallery wall. If done properly, they act as a focal point that adds an artistic flair.
Add Life With Statement PlantsBring some natural drama to your space with a statement plant. It’s a simple yet effective way to add a touch of life and personality to any room. Choose large leafy trees in the corners of rooms or cascading vines hanging from shelves or hooks. Most importantly, select a tree that thrives in indoor environments.

10 Living Room Design Ideas
The living room is the heart of any home. It’s where you gather as a family and also entertain guests. It’s also where you can showcase your personal style. A well-designed living room can make all the difference in how you feel about your home. Whether starting from scratch or just looking for inspiration, these 10 living room design ideas will help you create a space you’ll love.
Classic Living Room with a Modern TwistA classic living room is characterised by elegant furniture, rich colours, and ornate details. Cozy sofas with exposed legs, like our Windsor Lowback in a rich red colour, are a remainder from the late 19th century. Alternatively, you can also go for neutral colours like beige and ivory to showcase the beauty of the furniture.
Contemporary Living RoomContemporary living rooms are characterised by sleek and clean lines, minimalist décor, and neutral colour palettes. Incorporate furniture with simple designs and clean lines, like a modern leather sofa. Imagine our Tempo Modular, complete with the Coral Maize Knitted Throw and Noble rug.
Metallic accessories like lamps, like our Bunker White Weave Table Lamp, add a touch of glam.
Neutral Color PaletteA neutral colour palette creates a calming atmosphere and works well in any space. So, choose your furniture in muted tones like our grey Arna Lifestyle 2.5 Seater or beige Prague 3 Seater.
Touches of textures and patterns add interest to your neutral living room without overwhelming the space. Our Rio Chevron Throw not only adds a splash of colour but also brings a visual appeal.
Minimal Living RoomsA minimal living room design is all about clutter-free living space, simplicity, and functionality. Think of a streamlined sofa like our Aurora Stressless Ambassador with matching chairs. Accessorise with a few carefully chosen decorative objects and keep clutter to a minimum. For example, our Manhattan Round Coffee Table, with its slender Gold look iron frame, adds to the modern element.
Bright, Bold, and BeautifulA living room in vibrant colours and bold patterns is ideal for those who aren’t afraid to take risks with their design choices. Jewel tones like sapphire blue, ruby red and jade green work well in this design. Don’t be afraid to use bold hues.
When it comes to furniture, choose pieces with clean lines like our IMG Portsea 2.5 seater High Back Sofa and Rocco Table Lamp to keep the focus on the colours.
Accent WallAn accent wall is a great way to add personality to your living room. Choose one wall and paint it in a bold colour or add patterned wallpaper. Keep the other walls neutral to let the accent wall take centre stage.
In terms of furniture, go with traditional furniture like our Dior for a sophisticated look.
White Living RoomA white living room is all about simplicity, light and an airy feel. White walls and decor are visually appealing if you have large windows with natural light pouring in.
To create a white living room, start with a white sofa like our Vermont 3 Seater Sofa or this white sectional, Amalphi Sectional Modular. Then, follow it up with white accent chairs like our Stressless Skyline Medium Chair + Stool.
Monochromatic Living RoomFor a living room that feels cohesive and calming, consider a monochromatic design, say, black and white. The limited colours play the risk of falling flat if not used appropriately. Repeat the colours throughout the living room in various layers and patterns to prevent that. For example, our black sectional, Memphis Modular, adds stark contrast and visual interest. In the same line is our Vico TV Unit which fits right into your aesthetic with bonus storage space.
Living Room AccessoriesAccessories are an essential part of living room design. They add personality, warmth, and character to a space. Choose accessories that complement the style and colour scheme of the room, such as throws, rugs, and artwork.
You can also add antique wooden tables, such as our Regent Oval Coffee Table, to add a touch of elegance.
Statement ColorConsider incorporating a statement colour into your living room design. This can be done in various ways, from a bold colour on an accent wall to an unusual pattern or brightly coloured furniture. For example, a bright red armchair from Scapinni makes a statement in an otherwise neutral room.
Depending on how you play with the accessories, they create a lively and dynamic space without overwhelming it. Come visit us at Valentines Furniture Store in Bendigo, Victoria, for all the best advice on styling your living room.
