Decorating Your Living Room The Country-Style Way

Cha Cha -When we hear of country style or cabin, the first thing that comes into our minds is fireplace, hot cocoa, and a sense of family being together. Country-style is all about being warm, comfortable, and simple.

In terms of decorating, these thoughts may not be in physical form. They can be elements that give us exactly the same mood that we are looking for in a country style decor.

One popular element of a Country-style is the varnished wood. You can start collecting some great varnished wood items like table, chairs and rocking chair.

Your flooring too should have that thick, warm carpet or you can also opt for wooden floor boards blended with some great beautiful area rugs to warm your floor area. You can add colors by placing colorful throw pillows with a country design to match your area rug or quilt.

One great way to complete your overall country design is to have that scent of a country. You can have great scented candles that will give you various smells of flowers or even that familiar scent of your grandma’s pie.

Adding Contemporary Elements Into Your Home

It is now easier to come up with a great Contemporary look for your interior. This is because the availability of Contemporary pieces is now everywhere. But whatever style of interior you will have, you should not forget that the same principles still apply to all interior designs.

Create a balance in your floor area. If your rug is heavy with design, make sure that the furniture you pick is plain and simple. This principle may be applied well for small rooms, wherein the room will look messy if you overwhelm it with too much design everywhere.

When it comes to color schemes, do not be afraid to try bold colors. Too much neutral color can make your room bland and boring. Try to at least pull out two colors throughout the room to make it coordinated.

Contemporary is all about minimal frills and accents. Try to find items that have clean lines and will look great as your contemporary piece at home.

Tips In Decorating A Small Living Room

The first owned home is generally not that big. A lot of starting families or couples would normally settle down first on a smaller room space like an apartment or a bungalow. The problem for most small interiors is that they usually do not have a large area for disposal, thus, it is necessary to maximize every space you got.

The first thing you have to know is to avoid buying large furniture for your small living room. A lot of chairs, tables, sofas and so on can make even the large room look crowded. It is just necessary to buy the things that you need most and stick to the basic furniture as much as possible.

You can give an illusion of space with lighter wall colors like white, magnolia, or cream. Lighter colors always make any room larger. You should also consider putting a mirror on the wall. This way, the room "grows” significantly.

Lastly, keep the room tidy all the time. Keep away the clutter and make sure that you have enough sace to move around.

Make sure that the paint you will choose would stand from hot moisture that most bathrooms have. You can apply semi gloss or gloss finish. If it is possible, you can use primary color for the base, reducing the mildew and mold building on your walls.
