8. Your lighting is off
Many people think that old-fashioned overhead lighting is going to be enough for their living room, but it’s actually the other way around. Don’t get us wrong, it’s good to have a light fixture, but it doesn’t give you proper illumination. And if we’re being honest, it doesn’t look good either.
If you want to pair beautiful home decor and functionality together, don’t make a big decorating mistake and only invest in overhead lighting, because it won’t flatter your room. You’d better choose a mix of task lighting, ambient lighting, and overhead lighting, as it will make your living room seem larger, more welcoming, and even more beautiful.
You can choose floor lamps, table lamps, scones, or whatever object you like. Trust us, everything will look a lot better with the right mix of lighting.
I liked the tips, especially about furniture proportions and lighting. Thanks.
What a good variety of ideas.
I hadn’t really realized I had a themed living room. I thought SW, but it’s more AmerIndian. Plans to change it out slightly.
The first 3 ideas are the ones I’ll be implementing first. I never think I have enough pillows. They and my artwork are the “color” in the living room. But, I’ve noticed my guests always moving them off of the furniture.
You hit on the things that I’ve been taking for granted/not noticing.
Thank you.
Kitchen flooring. Vinyl or tile??
I have never heard of scones lighting before. I am assuming you mean sconses. Found most everything interesting though.
