Living Room Decorating Ideas

 An effective decoration of a room largely depends on its size and shape and mainly the purpose for which it's going to be used. Living room design ideas can be either a simple task or a complicated one depending on the people that are going to use it. Simple if it's going to be empty for the utmost of the time except when the family is at home; complicated if a lot of entertainment is going to take place. But that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be the contrary also. It largely depends on the person who's going to decorate it. Another complication would be if a constant stream of children and pets are going to be covering the room. 

 The room's shape also has a big say in the kind of décor it can take. In a large room with a plenitude of space, it can be segregated into some definite functional space. A small office space beneath the stairs or a formal dining area in a particular place by itself. The use of colors also has a telling impact on the atmosphere of a room. If not judiciously used a large room may look small and cold; if judiciously used a small room can be made to look larger and warmer. The wall art and other accessories in the living room set its ambiance. The further tidied the room the more comfortable it's to live in and spend time.

 Keep picture sizes small wherever possible, or perhaps a large one on one of the larger walls. Avoid mainly large photos as far as possible. A two-seater settee, rather than a three-seater will produce a print of space. Mirrors are good accessories as long as they're placed in strategic positions as refract light around the room.
