25 Amazing Simple Living Room Decorating Ideas

The living room is one of the most important spaces in your house. It is the traffic hub of life, the place where everyone comes together, friends, and family, to congregate and enjoy the pleasure of one another’s company. It is also the most visible space in the house, and the room that is most likely to be viewed by guests visiting for the first time. For these reasons and more you should endeavor to make this as attractive and comfortable as you possibly can.

1. Seating:
 You need to have plenty of seating. It is a rather unwelcoming feeling when you come into someone’s home, and they don’t have anywhere for you to sit. Then there is always the inevitable search for uncomfortable fold away chairs that will sit awkwardly in a strange corner of the room.

You should devote as much space in the living room as you possibly can to couches, sofas, and love seats. If you plan to entertain a large number of guests, you might want to compliment these with some comfortable occasional seating, such as been bag chairs, or sofa cushion floor seating. You can also use comfortable dining room chairs as a more solid alternative.

2. Clutter:
 A room that is full of useless junk will feel chaotic and uncomfortable. If there is garbage everywhere, then you are just being lazy, and this will reflect on you whenever someone comes over.

On the other hand, it might be that you are just a little too enthusiastic about decorating, and so you have crammed every cute, beautiful, or interesting thing that you could fin into the space.

What you have to understand is that decorating is a form of art, and art is about making choices. When a painter starts a portrait he has to decide what he is going to paint. He can’t paint everything in the world, and you can fit everything in the wlorld in your living room. In general, simple is better, because it gives you a blank canvas to fill, slowly with decorations.
