Here are some tips on how to decorate your living room but keep it in line with your own personal taste, do not worry about making your furniture match the curtains, instead focus on making it match your style.

Take a minute to list all of the activities that your family does in the living room. It’s the best way to start the decorating process. Whether it’s watching television, relaxing on the couch, reading a book, or listening to music-jot it down.

- Furniture Now you want to write down all the types of furnishings you want to incorporate into the room, those pieces that will be important for the activities you want to accomplish, such as a comfortable chair for reading, perhaps a nice reading light, a large comfortable sofa for watching TV on etc.

- Focal Point Now you need to decide what object is going to be the focal point of your room, in most living rooms the TV is the focal point, this is because furniture has to be arranged around the TV so people get a good viewing angle, but this does not need to be the case, you can have a fire place as the focal point, a nice bit of artwork, whatever it is you want people to notice first when they enter the room.

- Arrangement Now you need to decide how you want to arrange all of your furniture, you have a lot of creative license when it comes to this, you can have the room arranged however you see fit, although there are some rules you should try to adhere to:

o To make sure you can move around easily and to avoid giving your room a messy look, keep walkways, windows, and doors clear.

+Do not place everything against the walls, it doesn’t look very inspired.

+For a large room instead of having one large open space break the room into smaller parts, do to this use furniture such as placing a sofa across the middle of the room, or you can buy some dividers etc

o Using only the furniture that you need and getting rid of the rest will result in a room that isn’t too cluttered.

o Your final step is to give the entire living room an organized feel. To accomplish this, create a scenic arrangement of furniture around the focal point in such a way that the whole room appears to converge toward it.
