Are you renovating, moving into a fresh new home, or looking for a way to breathe life into your existing space? Learn how to furnish your living room in a timeless way that will be the envy of everyone you meet!
Simplicity Is The Key To Timeless Style
Timeless furniture isn’t just about clean lines and neutral shades. It’s all about functionality, durability and a design that doesn’t succumb to time. Think classic – leathers, linen accessories, beautiful art… and invest in key pieces that are built to last.
No Space To Spare In Your Living Room
Then think about functionality. A floor to ceiling shelving unit can work wonders – not only is it practical, but you can use it to display beautiful statement vases, or your favourite family snaps in great frames. Our tip? Always go for white with shelving – that way it won’t overwhelm the space or what’s displayed on it. And the more purposes it has, the better. Don’t forget about baskets and such – great for stuffing clutter out of sight! Are you an open plan liver? You could also use a shelving unit to separate the space between the living room and dining area, and give yourself two distinctive spaces. And lastly – don’t forget the houseplants. An interior must!
Tip: Blankets, cushions or curtains can be used to add patterns and colour to a simply furnished living room. And when you get the urge for something new, you can easily change them, giving the room a new and fresh look.
Bring In The Light
Lighting is key to a perfectly styled living room. It is a design element that has a huge impact on the overall look of the room. A couple of good floor lamps are essential, but if you’re feeling brave, why not go for a chandelier? It’s certainly a classic, and if you keep the furniture & other styling simple, it can become the focal point of the entire space, a real conversation piece! There are plenty of affordable options, but if that’s not your style – go for a simple pendant lamp. Remember – harsh lighting is no one’s friend, so always pick a golden-toned bulb.
Timeless Interiors Are Suited To Bold Decorations
Accessories are what make a home a home. And we’re not just talking about vases, candlesticks and other decorations. It could be a statement rug, a large houseplant, or an abstract painting by your favourite artist. Statement pieces like this are always guaranteed to brighten up a room and inject a bit of your personality into it – because at the end of the day, something you truly love is always timeless!
