Family Living Room A Design And Style

Follow our easy decorating ideas to update your family living room:

Update your family living room with colour:Adding colour to a neutral room is the perfect way to give it an instant lift.

Pick your colour:Look around your living room, if it already has a hint of colour (in this room we chose the curtains) start to repeat it around the room. A soft shade such as this Apple Mist is ideal to create a fresh relaxed scheme.

Layer cushions:A sofa packed with cushions will give your family room a really cosy feel. Layer different designs, mixing cheques with floral and co-ordinate the scheme by repeating some of the same fabrics used in the curtains.

Don't forget the accessories:Add in accessories in your chosen colour around the room. Here green ceramics and glassware were perfect for the job

Create a scheme with contrast to give your living room a new look

Give a neutral living room a warm update by adding subtle hints of orange, earthy red and biscuit.

Opt for two-tone cushions:Fabrics and cushions in contrasting earthy tones are essential for this scheme. Fill the sofa with a mixture of cushions and striped fabrics will work well for curtains and blinds.

Create a zoned area:A natural rug with plenty of texture will look great on a neutral carpet and help define the seating area.

Add in the details:Plenty of bowls, vases, lamps and picture frames in punchy earthy tones will finish off the scheme and create its warm look.

Use decorative detail to create a fresh living room scheme :Take your family living room from functional to beautiful with pattern, texture and statement pieces

Add in shimmer:Give a glamorous touch with plenty of accessories with textured finishes and sparkling detail.

Opt for statement pieces:A statement picture, lamp or rug can transform your room and create an instant focal point.

Keep the background simple:Let your accessories steal the show with a neutral backdrop, wallpaper or paints in subtle shades will really allow a statement lamp or piece of wall art to stand out.
