Living Room Furniture with Inviting Style

Creating a relaxing and inviting environment to unwind after a long day is all about choosing living room furniture that combines style with comfort. The Home Depot carries a wide range of home furnishings to choose from at prices that are sure to fit within your decorating budget. With a few style tips, you can have a living room that looks as though it jumped off the pages of your favorite home decorating magazine.

Choosing a Style and Colour Scheme

The first step to decorating any room is to determine the colour scheme and overall decorating style of the space. Flip through catalogs and home decorating magazines to find a few inspiration photos to design your room around. Among the most popular decorating styles are:

•  Contemporary
•  Country
•  Southwestern
•  Industrial
•  Traditional
•  Scandinavian
•  Transitional
•  Rustic
•  Mid-Century Modern

Selecting the Right Sofa for Your Living Room

The sofa you select sets the foundation for the rest of your room. With your colour scheme and decorating style chosen, it is time to select a sofa, loveseat or sectional sofa that best fits in with your desired style while offering plenty of comfortable seating for everyone in your home. Because the couch is one of the largest investments in your living room, select one that is designed for durability and which features a neutral-coloured fabric and upholstery that would blend in with other decorating styles if you wanted to make a change years from now.

Adding Accent Furniture

The sofa is just the beginning of your living room decor. Accent chairs, coffee tables, area rugs, TV stands and end tables are just a few of the other furnishings you need to make your room seem complete. Accent chairs and throw pillows offer a great opportunity to introduce a bold accent colour or pattern to your decor. The coffee tables and end tables serve a valuable function while introducing a new texture to your design. For a bit of a softer look, trade out the coffee table for a plush ottoman with a serving tray on top where you can set a drink.

Completing Your Living Room Design

With the key furniture essentials in place, it’s time to accessorize your space with wall hangings, frames and cute accent pieces in keeping with your room’s themes.
