Tips for Creating the Ideal Ambience in Your Living Room

Living rooms are the spaces where we get to enjoy quality time with our families and friends. This is why they should be decorated in a way that you feel pleasant and enjoy spending time in this part of your home. When it comes to enhancing the ambience of your living room and making it the coziest corner of your home, there are many things you can do. By this, we don’t mean renovating your living room from scratch and emptying your wallet, but incorporating a couple of gorgeous decorations and elements that will make a statement and refresh your living space.

Pay Attention to the Decorative Elements

Regardless of how much money you invest in making your living room a modern or luxurious space, decorations can truly make or break the entire ambience. This is why it’s important to accessorize your living room in a way that adds some value to your space. In other words, it’s best to choose decorations and accessories that will have some kind of purpose, rather than just cluttering empty spaces with random things.

Decorative Candle Holders

Candles are a great way to create ambience and add some additional lighting to your room. And when it comes to purposeful, yet gorgeous decorations for your living room, don’t forget to get decorative candle holders as the ultimate accessory that will spice up the entire décor.

The best part about candle holders is that they come in a plethora of different styles and designs, meaning it won’t be hard to choose something that fits your living room’s interior and elevates the entire ambience. For instance, if your living room’s overall design screams “antiquity and lavishness”, you can find candle holder models in interesting shapes featuring intricate ridges and curves.

On the other hand, for modern and contemporary living spaces, it’s best to go for minimalistic holders featuring sharp and straight lines and edges. In addition to this, it’s best to choose glass candle holders as they’ll give an interesting sparkly effect while working as the perfect element for every contemporary-decorated room.

Clocks

With technology progressing so rapidly, many of us have forgotten about the classic wall clock. The truth is that wall clocks aren’t only working as a functional timepiece, but they also make for an ideal decoration for every living space.

For instance, if you’re looking for an art piece to cover your bare wall, wall clocks are a way more affordable option that will spice up the entire décor and give your living room some personality and style. Wall clocks also come in many different designs, styles and shapes to fit the furniture and the other decorative elements.

However, be careful when choosing a wall clock for your living room. Choosing the wrong design or size will break the flow of the other elements and the entire ambience you’re aiming for.

Pillows

When we mentioned turning your living room into a space where you’ll love spending time, we meant about a space where you’ll feel comfortable and cozy. And there’s nothing that’ll make you feel cozier while lounging on your sofa like a couple of fluffy pillows.

But pillows aren’t only great to support your body while sitting or reclining on your sofa, but they’re also perfect to give some warmth and homey touch to your living space and add some colours to your sofas and chairs. If you’re aiming to “give your living room some life”, don’t hesitate to choose pillows in different pops of colours. On the other hand, patterns and textures are perfect if you want to give your space some personality and spice.

Throw a Lovely Floor Rug

Regardless of how gorgeous decorative elements you choose, every living room would seem cold if you’re walking down on bare laminate or tiles. So, don’t hesitate to buy a cute floor rug that will add some homely warmth to your space and tie together the entire décor together.

And same as the other decorative elements, it’s best to choose a rug that will suit all the interior elements and follow the cohesion of all the other decorations, regarding its size and design. For instance, if you’re having a large and spacious living room, it’s best to cover the space with a rug that completely fits the furniture on top, but without crowding the entire space. If your furniture is placed the way it touches the walls, make sure you have at least the front legs on the rug. When it comes to smaller spaces, small floor rugs can be the perfect statement-making piece if you “throw” it under your coffee table or in any other seating area in your room.

On the other hand, the market nowadays is overflowed with a plethora of different rug designs, and we’re sure that it won’t be hard to find something that will look cute with the other decorative elements in your living room. If your living space seems crowded with different textures, patterns and shapes, you can always get a single-coloured rug to “soothe down” the entire ambience.

On the other hand, if elements in neutral colours and shapes are more dominant, don’t hesitate to spice things up with a patterned rug. For instance, oriental rugs are perfect to give some homey touch to the neutral furniture and walls of contemporary living spaces. But if you’re feeling sceptical about the traditional oriental designs, you can also break the monotony with a rug featuring different geometrical shapes. Just make sure you choose a base colour that matches the accent details and see how the ambience elevates to the next level right away.

Decorate Your Bare Walls with Gorgeous Art Prints

Wall clocks can be the perfect addition to spice up every bare wall and give a trendy touch to your entire living room. However, incorporating a wall clock into your spacious living room won’t have any effect unless it’s extra-large or accompanied by other wall decorations. And talking about decorations for your bare walls, there are many gorgeous art prints to spice up your living room. On top of that, wall art prints are the cheaper version of the original expensive artworks or hiring an artist to adorn your walls with paints.

And when it comes to choosing the perfect wall art print, the range of choices is huge. The only thing you have to do is to be creative and choose something that will enhance the other accent details and accompany the entire interior style. Hence, it’s best to start by determining the entire colour palette of your living room and choosing something according to that.

When it comes to the art print’s theme, abstract motives are becoming a statement-making detail of many people’s living rooms lately. And if you want to make your abstract art print the focal point of your room, don’t hesitate to go for vibrant colours or unique intriguing shapes. On the other hand, if you want something that will “soothe” the ambience, neutral colours and geometrical shapes can be the perfect minimalistic addition to modern living rooms.

Animal and nature motives are also popular and perfect if your living room is lacking natural elements such as flowers and plants. Therefore, they can be ideal to complement every Scandinavian-styled living room, or if your furniture and decor feature wooden details.

Flower patterns have also been very popular lately, as they can be ideal for both, traditional and contemporary living spaces. For instance, they’re perfect for living rooms featuring monochrome schemes, as they won’t overwhelm the entire space. Vintage floral art prints featuring smaller-scale flowers and interesting pops of colours are great to spice up traditional living rooms or if you want to add a chic element. When it comes to adding a dose of drama to your luxury living room, you can’t go wrong by choosing a dark design featuring larger flowers.

The range of opportunities for spicing up your living room’s ambience is endless. Once you manage to make an entire composition out of decorations, rugs, wall art prints and the other elements, you’ll see how your living room becomes the ultimate space of your home you’d love spending time at.
