If there is one room in the house where you would put your heart & soul into designing, then living room would top the list. Use these creative ideas to make your living room a comfortable, inviting place to gather with friends and family.

Here are the 10 tips to creatively design your Living Room:

1. Mix and Match: When it comes to patterns, pick a colour theme - like reds, greens, and blues - and to use big splash of solid colour (the green chair, red sofa, and green ottoman) to anchor the space.

2. Light and Airy: Living room being the largest room leads to the temptation to fill it up with a lot of furniture’s. However, it will only reduce the space and make it look more cramped. Hence try to be more realistic - whether it is required or not when placing it.

3. Seasonal: Always try to add something new every season or replace something to add a new feel and a change of the old look. Need not be something really expensive, something like a coloured cushion, a small wall hanging or a wall paper would do.

4. Movement: Try to move the furniture’s position every few months so that it can make the room look new and sometimes make it feel more comfortable. This way you can utilise the room completely.

5. Ottoman & Pouf’s: Try to keep a couple of pouf’s or Ottomans, they not only provide additional seating but also being small in size do not occupy much space in the living room. Additionally, they give a trendy look. The little white seating with yellowish zig zag designs are the pouf’s used here:

6. Wall Decorations: Choose one section of a side of a wall to add some paint pattern, wallpaper or a different colour to make the living room look in fashion.

7. TV: If you are planning to place a TV in the living room try positioning it in a corner or a side where there wouldn't be a lot of movement around and it would be uninterrupted like having a walk way in-between or a balcony.

8. Cosy & Warm: Furniture with the feel of wanting to relax and cuddle up will be the best choice. They make us feel home at the end of the hectic day.

9. Simple & Elegant: If the word simple is you and minimalistic is your style. Then try to give the below look to fulfil your choice. The room has no fuzzy designs, jazzy colours or too many trendy accessories.

10. Lighting: Instead of the regular tube lights and a bulb, try adding a layer of low lights which can be very soothing and welcoming. Position light sources so they form roughly a triangle to ensure good distribution of illumination. Table lamps will provide a more relaxing and a calm mood.
