Sevens: 5 Living Room Style Mistakes To Avoid

Design a living room that makes you happy. After all, rooms should spark joy. Here we show you how to avoid the more common mistakes when designing a beautiful living room.

Consider Furniture Placement

Your living room may be open plan or smaller to fit between four straight walls. Either way, the placement of your furniture is important. Avoid placing furniture right up against the walls. This actually makes the space feel more closed in. Create better flow and space with furniture that considers traffic flow.

Clutter

Avoid clutter in your living room for a more streamlined look. Storage will help you achieve a cleaner layout here, so invest in good quality storage solutions and keep clutter at bay.

Check The Floors

Avoid neglecting your floors. A quality rug underfoot can help to anchor your entire room. Never mind that the right rug also brings colour, texture and pattern to a space. Your living room will feel incomplete without this important consideration – so choose wisely and add it to your shopping list.

Choose Art

Avoid an unbalanced room by considering the careful placement of art and decor in the living room. Art is subjective, so choose pieces that speak to you and will help to brighten up your home. Art can also tie into the colour scheme and design style of your living room and create a harmonious, designer look in your space.

Let’s Not Forget Lighting

Lighting is a key component to round off your living room. Avoid a dark, dull space with adequate lighting in different zones here. Add table or floor lamps for ease and functionality in bigger spaces. A bold chandelier or pendant will also make a statement overhead.
