Mix and Match Patterns

Mixing and matching your patterns is really fun, and can add so much more character to your living room. Who wants a boring, matching set of furniture anyway? I always find the most attractive living rooms are the ones that mix patterns effectively. If you’re unsure of how to do this, there are plenty of tutorials online and inspiration on sites like Pinterest. Above all, else make sure you like it!

Play Around With Texture

Playing with texture is a great way to make your living room more comfortable, cosy, and interesting. Add faux fur rugs, textured throws, wooden furniture, and more.

Show off Your Personality

Don’t be afraid to show off your personality in your living room. If you love a certain year or theme, go mad with it in there! It’ll be a good way to get a unique look and tell your guests a little about yourself without having to say anything.

Include Comfortable Furniture

Comfortable furniture, like these customizable Fombags, are a great way to make your living room more inviting. The goal with all of your furniture should be to make people want to touch it and jump on it as soon as they come in. There’s nothing more inviting than that, so pick comfortable furniture and accessorize with textures!

Display Collections

If you have a good collection of anything, display it. Whether it’s art, photographs, figurines, or something different, put it on show! This is another good way to show off your personality and can make a great talking point.

Add Artwork

Artwork is an essential in any home. There are so many benefits to displaying art in the home. Just looking at it can relax and calm the brain! Pick one of your favourite pieces and frame it. It can be a copy, out of book, anything that suits your budget.

Use Warm Colours

Warm colours always make a room seem more inviting. It helps it to feel warmer, more comfortable, and cosier. Darker colours will make the room appear smaller, so bear that in mind if your living room is already small - you won’t want it to look any smaller. I love optical illusions like this - you can create any look you want in your living room if you just know a few clever tricks!
