The fireplace can be installed in the corner of your living room, but also in the middle of a living room wall. Also, if your living room is large enough and roomy, you can choose a marble table, not too tall though, 40-50 cm above floor level.

Another idea you can implement, especially in a roomy living room, is to decorate an entire wall with natural stone. For this you can use narrow tiles of marble or travertine, which are both durable and stylish materials. This is a special finish that can be both glossy and honed, based on your preference. The colors variation ranges from beige and light brown up to darker shades. With thicker tiles of marble, granite or travertine, you can set up some book shelves, photo frame or flower vase. Also, a statuette can be gracefully laid on a shelf.

Vivid colors, always a suitable choice

For a living room decoration project, choosing the right wall color is essential, also valid for furniture. A daring design will give up the classic white and choose instead vivid colors for refreshing the space. Besides, the vivid colors are much more than just a suitable option for wall painting. You can buy a sofa, a corner sofa or two armchairs with an intense hue. Turquoise and violet are also two excellent options to consider, which will totally change the look of your living room. A red sofa fits perfectly in a living room with walls painted in white and cream.

Decorative pillows are also decoration elements with vivid colors or floral patterns. They cheer up the atmosphere while offering a warm and welcoming air to any living room. For example, an interesting choice is a combination between a sofa with light green cover, red decorative cushions and a coffee table in white, brown or even black color.  This entire setting can also accommodate a simple yet stylish lamppost.

A white living room, simplicity and elegance

White is never outdated, so you can use it for decorating your living room. You can use different white tones and darker white furniture, with immaculate white color for the wall. Also, the materials must have different textures: one for the curtain, another one for decorative pillows and a different texture for the living room sofa.

A retro-style dining room

Last but not least, a fail-safe setting is a retro-style decorated living room. This is achieved with vintage decorative items, from antique inspired design furniture up to carpets. A chandelier should be traditional in such a living room.
