Designing a chic living room can seem overwhelming if you’ve never delved into the world of interior design. Yet, the great news is that creating a chic and sophisticated living room doesn’t have to require a degree in interior design, or even hiring an interior designer. It’s all about knowing the right tips and tricks to achieve a chic living space.
If you want to create a living room that will make a positive impression on your visitors, and make you proud of your effortlessly fabulous living space, here are some key design tips you’ll want to know.
Choose a Cohesive Palette
A well-thought-out color palette is the way to go when it comes to creating a chic look. From choosing your flooring, to your couch, always go with the same color scheme to give your living room a sophisticated feel.
Whether you go with a neutral base with pops of color, to a monochromatic theme, using colors that all complement each other will make a world of difference in how your living room is perceived.
Buy Statement Pieces
A chic living room starts with a strong statement piece. In other words, buy a piece of furniture that will draw the eye in and serve as your centerpiece to the entire look and feel. It could be a striking piece of artwork or a bright chandelier.
The type of statement pieces you buy will depend on the kind of interior design look you’re going for. Whatever you do, choose things that you’re proud of and will ultimately elevate your living space.
Layer Textures
When looking through interior design magazines, one of the most common themes you’ll notice in the most beautiful living rooms is layered textures. Mixing and matching materials can add a unique depth to your living room, and a splash of dimension. Don’t be afraid to play around with different textures and materials with your throw blankets and even carpets. The more textures you can combine together, the better, and the more you can incorporate different looks and feels into one cohesive look.
Don’t Forget Lighting
lighting makes a world of difference in a living room. Remember, the living room is not somewhere like the kitchen or bathroom where you need an adequate amount of light to be able to carry out tasks like cooking or putting on makeup.
Your living room is ultimately a place for relaxation and hosting, so warmer and dimmer lighting is the way to go. The idea is to induce a state of relaxation and provide a cozy feel that makes you want to unwind and relax in your living room.
Remember, lighting can also be achieved thanks to the sun. Don’t be afraid to open up your windows and let the light shine in as an alternative to a lamp whenever possible.
