Do you have the feeling that something is missing in your space? Maybe it’s one of these ornaments!
Decorating your living room is a multi-step process involving many important decisions, from selecting the paint or wallpaper, adding rugs and curtains, deciding on the best furniture layout and arrangement, and choosing lighting. But interior designers and home remodeling enthusiasts know that it’s the little details that bring a space to life.
Check out these 21 tips to stylize your living room with accessories – from candles and dried flowers to fabrics and decorative items – that will make the room more comfortable, inviting, beautiful and lively.
1. Tree
In this living room, a palette of white and wood tones is enhanced by the addition of a tree that brings a natural element, some color and a feel-good effect. Choosing one large tree or potted plant over many small ones is easier to maintain and creates a strong visual impact.
If your room is poorly lit or you can’t keep your seedlings alive, don’t hesitate to consider a quality permanent branch. Just regularly dust the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them looking their best.
2. Amber glass
The neutral-toned environment received an extra touch with an amber glass vase, on the wooden coffee table, which captures the light and shines like the sun. Depending on your color preferences, you can also opt for a green or cobalt blue glass vase.
3. Dried plants and flowers
Dried plants and flowers have become fashionable in recent years. Pampas grass, for example, is a cost-effective, low-maintenance, and greener alternative to live seedlings. Dust it regularly to keep it looking good, and recycle it properly when the time comes.
4. Wall baskets
hang up cloth baskets on the walls It’s an easy way to add interest and warmth without breaking the bank or making the sometimes daunting commitment to purchase a framed piece of art. In this example, a trio of baskets goes well with the shades of wood, cushions and fig-leaf green.
Tip: Remember that when displaying decorative items, odd numbers work best, such as groups of 3, 5, 7, and 9. The same rule applies to flower arrangements.
5. Desktop books
These are classic living room accessories for a few reasons – they’re beautiful, they give you something to flip through while relaxing on the sofa, and they’re a way to keep guests busy while waiting for their drinks. In this room, a small stack of books on the coffee table matches the sepia tones of the room’s design. But you can also use these items to add a random dose of color to a neutral space.
6. Candles
Candlelight adds an instant atmosphere to any place! You can select scented candles, votives, lanterns, LED or conical candle holders. When using LED candles, use rechargeable batteries to save money and avoid waste. Also remember to look for candles with eco-friendly ingredients and natural scents.
7. Structured pillows
A stack of fluffy Moroccan pillows makes this room visually interesting, comfortable and welcoming. When choosing pillows, think about adding different fabrics, patterns and shapes to add texture to the design.
8. Mirrors and frame art
If you like a layered look, try stacking a variety of framed artwork against a tilted mirror. For an even more beautiful setting, include some greenery.
9. Ladder with blanket
One of the coziest decorations you can put in a room is a blanket or blanket – which adds softness to a sofa or armchair. But making enough blankets available for everyone in the house can feel confusing and messy. You can solve this problem by leaning a light ladder against the wall, where you can store them folded when not in use. And in the warmer months, you can leave the staircase empty or use it as a place to store magazines or decorate it with LED lights or dried flowers.
10. Vintage wall sculpture
In this living room, an impressive wall sculpture displays a retro charm that shines against the turquoise wall. You can buy original mid-century vintage sculptures and reproductions more affordable online, at local specialty stores, or thrift stores!
11. Glass cloche
You can make anything more elegant and special by placing it under glass cloche. Dried flowers, figurines, LED light arrays, Christmas baubles or any other heart-warming trinket.
12. Objects hanging on the wall
THE wall above the sofa it is a position of value that requires a declaration. Hanging a colorful or textured garment is an easy way to show personality, whether it’s modern macrame, a tapestry, a vintage bedspread, or a colorful fabric.
13. Natural wood
Unsurprisingly, in an increasingly virtual and technological world, our interiors have become more focused on natural materials and organic shapes that make us feel calm and connected. Here, textured walls, leather and wood tones create a soft, natural atmosphere. A polished wooden log table completes the look.
14. A touch of color
In a neutral setting, color is an accessory that can be added in small, powerful doses in the form of bold pillows or colorful blankets, like this mustard item.
15. Geometric tray
One hexagonal wooden trayl in a leather ottoman allows the piece to function as a coffee table and accommodate small items that help decorate the room, preventing it from looking too messy. A variety of geometric shapes add dynamism and a graphic touch, also featured here on a patterned cushion and diamond patterned rug.
16. Covered storage baskets
These fabric baskets under a console table, behind a sofa, act as dividers in an open space. The pieces help fill in the void, providing a place to store blankets, toys, or anything else that helps keep the living room clean. The natural tones of the baskets match the neutral colors of the environment.
17. Chess game
A sculptural chess game works as both a decoration and a practical leisure activity.
18. Table necklace
Accessories can be functional, beautiful or just plain fun. In this example, the coffee table is complemented by books, flowers, natural elements such as a wooden tray, and finished with a necklace made of wooden beads.
19. Unexpected detail
Sometimes you don’t know you need a life-sized baby giraffe sculpture until you see it. This whimsical room features the figurine in the corner in front of the glass doors. Don’t be afraid to buy different pieces if it fits your budget and personality.
20. Neon sign
Light up a white wall with a neon sign with an expansive message. Is neon not for you? Try a vintage advertising poster or vintage shop sign bought online or brought from a trip.
21. A silent message
A corner table has been given personality and a quiet message of peace with a bright gold-colored object that livens up the space and proves there’s nothing like an element of surprise to make your decor shine.
