A large living room is an ideal place for entertaining and relaxing with family and friends, and anyone with a small living room would probably be happy to trade up for a more spacious version. But wide open spaces can seem cold and impersonal. If you're lucky enough to have a great big living room, you can make it seem welcoming and cozy with a few decorating tips.
Warm It Up with Color
Accent Side Tables
Rich warm colors will make a space feel more intimate and inviting. Lend warmth and ambience that will engulf any space by selecting deep shades of apricot, mango, umber and burgundy. Sample jars of paint make it easy for you to test a color in a small area or on a piece of poster board before committing the entire room to a particular color.
When choosing furniture and accessories, add contrast with complementary hues in warm tones. While closely related shades are a good idea when you want to expand a space, providing contrast in a large room will minimize its scale. Black and white can be used effectively to ground the colors, while warmer hues like paprika and gold are ideal options. Repeat your accent colors throughout the room in bold swaths of color in curtain panels and window treatments, pillows and throws, lamps, wall vases lampshades, wall art and accessories.
Oversized pieces like tall vases that can accent a corner or that are positioned on an open ledge, help to bring the area down to size and make it cozier.
Add Depth and Warmth with Wall Decor
Continue the warm palette in wall decor. Metal wall art will add contrast and dimension and another opportunity to display splashes of your accent colors. To achieve a more traditional look, go for metal wall art with classic motifs, or harmonize a modern space with metal wall art featuring bold graphic designs. Lend impressive definition to empty walls by hanging wrought iron wall art. In rooms with high ceilings, semi-circular or rectangular wrought iron wall art can accent bare space above entries and windows. From Old World and Mediterranean influences to casually inspired decors, any living room will gain style and richness with the addition of metal or wrought iron wall art.
Define Space and Get in the Zone
It's natural to feel overwhelmed by a large expansive space that is continuous and unbroken. Create 'zones' in your large living room, delineating conversation areas, entertainment areas and so forth.
Area rugs can be used to define spaces. Choose a patterned rug that pulls your color choices together. Use rugs to anchor a space, arranging furniture around the perimeter.
• Pull furniture in toward the center of the room. Create a conversation area by defining the space with your area rug, then arrange a couch and love seat and/or side chairs in an inviting diagonal arrangement that encourages conversation.
• Use a table and chairs on another end of the room anchored by an area rug for casual dining, game playing or impromptu gatherings - you have the space, now enjoy it!
