A statement light is a sure way to make your living room really stand out and look so much more elevated.
The statement light in your living room should reflect the look you’re going for so if your going for a contemporary look, you will most likely want to use a classic chandelier and if you are going for more of a minimalistic/modern look, you may want to use more of an abstract light such as a branch sputnik chandelier like the one below:
8. Incorporate Greenery
Greenery of some sort is a must for your living room as it will just make the space feel so much fresher and homey.
If you want an earthy feel to your living room, you are going to want to incorporate a lot of greenery and perhaps pair it with more rustic decor.

A frame TV allows your TV to ACTUALLY be a bit of decor in your living room as you can choose to display artwork on it when you are not watching TV to give the effect of there being a real painting on your wall! 😌🤭
10. Decorate For A Certain Aesthetic
People often struggle decorating their living room as they don’t have a real sense of what kind of aesthetic or look they want for their living room and so they instead end up with a messy collection of mismatched decor which they like.
To avoid this, you may wish to choose an aesthetic such as the ‘coastal aesthetic’ photographed above to ensure your living room decor looks cohesive and more aesthetically pleasing.
11. Choose A Rug That Compliments Your Interior
Rugs act as a really great way to almost ‘frame’ a space, making them particularly useful if you have an open plan as it will really help to make your living room space feel more separated from the rest of the room.
Rugs can also make a space feel bigger, particularly if you opt for a lighter rug, and are also just a great way to make your living room feel so much more cosy.
12. Stick To A Colour Scheme
Similar to choosing an aesthetic for your living room decor, sticking to a colour scheme is a helpful way to make sure your decor really goest together for a more a more aesthetically pleasing end result.
You don’t have to go with a minimalistic neutral colour scheme if that’s not your thing and this living room above is such a great example of that which manages to look classy and sophisticated despite its bold & bright pastel colour scheme.
13. Change Your Decor With The Seasons
Switching your decor with the seasons is a really great way to make your decor feel very of the moment and is also just a fun way to celebrate special occasions.
It doesn’t have to be an overhaul but by adding a few decorations which you change out with the seasons, your living room has more of a ‘living’ flow/feel to it and will help prevent you from getting tired of your decor.
14. Install Built-ins
Not only do built-ins look great but they also make for a very functional addition to your living room which gives you a lot more storage as well as shelving space to work with for decor.
15. Create A Reading Nook
A reading nook never disappoints and your living room is a really cool place to have one if you have the space.
Reading nooks are so easy to create as all you really need is a comfy chair and a side-table to create your go-to reading spot.
16. Use & Style A Console Table
A console table gives you so many more styling opportunities and is particularly useful if you don’t have a mantelpiece in your living room!
Console tables give a lot more storage too and give you the perfect place to hideaway remotes, blankets, DVDs and any other essentials you may want to keep stored in your living room.
