Top Tips For Decorating Your Lounge Room

Want to create a sanctuary for you and your loved ones to enjoy when in your lounge room? Want to make a great impression on your guests? There are some tips that you need to know to help you successfully decorate your lounge and living room to create the effect that you want.

The lounge is a place to relax, to entertain, to talk and to watch your favourite shows so make the way you want it. Here are the top tips you should know:

1. Declutter the space to make it inviting and relaxing

Whether you are awar of it or not, the room that you walk into has direct effects on the brain waves you make and how stressed or relaxed those brain waves are. If you have a room full of clutter or piles of papers, even 1 pile somewhere, it can have a negative impact on you and your guests whether you are conscious of it or not. So clear up the space so that what you have in your room can shine.

2. Ensure that the lounge is inviting

This means that it should be easy to get to the lounge and that it's ready for you and guests to sit on. A lounge suite that has too many pillows or has too many throws on it can be distracting, but just the right amount can be very nice. Ensure that the coffee tables and central table is not cluttered either. So look at your setup as if you're a guest and see how the space looks to you.

3. Add a piece of art to the room

Adding a piece of art, be it a painting or a tapestry wall hanging can transform a room. When used as a backdrop to the room you feel as if you've stepped into a different place and time. This is why a large art work of a verdure scene of nature, or a romantic scene by Boucher, or other beautiful art piece has remained so popular as a way to enchant and entice its viewers. You are transported to a certain place and emotion when using wall art.

4. Add a good amount of color

Consider the range of color in your room. You want just the right amount, not too little or too much. Color can be added with flowers, wall art , cushions, shawls, or any decorative object. Too much black or white does not invite joy, so choose some colors that you love and that your family loves and see if they enliven the area.

5. Add a personal item that interest you

If you have a special interest or hobby then an item from this hobby is a great way to make a space unique and interesting. For example, if you love to photograph birds, then include a photo or illustration of birds in the room somewhere. They are also a great conversation starter as well as provide plenty of visual interest for you and your family

So as you can see, you can now decorate your lounge to achieve a look and feel that will not only keep you impressed and entertained as well as relaxed and comfortable, it will also provide plenty of interest for your friends and guests as well.
