To keep it simple, five core elements make up a living room. Comfortable seating, stylish lighting, surfaces & storage, decoration and versatility. Sourcing attractive and high quality seating should be at the top of your priority list, so we recommend starting with your sofa and living room chairs. Lighting is often underestimated but incredibly crucial with any space and especially living rooms since it creates ambience and atmosphere. Ideally you'll have a variety of lighting sources ranging from overhead lighting, wall lights as well as table and floor lamps. When choosing a rug, you'll want to ensure the size fits your living room properly to tie your space together. Don't be afraid to mix and match materials and shapes with your surfaces and storage! If you use the same material and same shape, you risk your living room feeling like a catalogue. Instead, play around with round coffee tables, square sides tables as well as different materials such as wood, metal and glass.
