New Year is rapidly approaching \u2013 a time when many people decide to channel the interior designer within and revamp their living room<\/a> for a fresh new look. If that sounds like you, and you’re looking for a little inspiration to kickstart the redesign process, we’re here to help \u2013 with an array of decorating ideas for your living room.<\/p>\n

Of course, the focal point of most living areas is the furniture, so to make a bold statement of inspirational intent, you might want to consider an \u00b4out with the old and in with the new mentality.<\/p>\n

Certainly, if you\u00b4re updating your living room to a more contemporary look, a corner sofa<\/a> is a great place to start. A distinctly modern style of furniture, a corner sofa can transform a traditional living space into a contemporary, designer room.<\/p>\n

What’s more, by fitting snugly into the corner of the room, a corner sofa instantly gives you more space to play with, making the room seem bigger as a result.<\/p>\n

There are other ways too to give the illusion of a larger room \u2013 all far more cost-effective than building an extension or knocking through a wall! One of the easiest and most effective methods is to hang a large mirror above your fireplace.<\/p>\n

Look in the home accessories section of the Darlings of Chelsea website and you’ll find a beautiful collection of stylish lounge mirrors.<\/p>\n

Alongside our sleek, modern silver frames is a range of traditional, rustic gilt mirrors; ornate designs perfectly suited to country houses.<\/p>\n

And if that’s the look you’re going for, how about accessorising with a vintage leather trunk? Not only do they ooze vintage, rustic charm and appeal \u2013 they provide convenient and inconspicuous storage.<\/p>\n

When you’re decorating your home for maximum style, convenience is something that can often be forgotten. A minimalist, contemporary living room, for example, will more often than not lack storage space \u2013 fine if you’re blessed with a spacious home or a vast loft, but less than ideal if space is at more of a premium.<\/p>\n

A brilliantly stylish space saver is a sofa bed<\/a> \u2013 allowing you to free up the spare room for storage without compromising on designer quality furniture. Sofa beds have come a long way in recent years and no longer represent function over form \u2013 they are just as sleek and stylish as their regular counterparts.<\/p>\n

As a finishing touch to your new look living area, visit our home accessories section to browse our exceptional range of sheepskin and cowhide rugs. Equally befitting of a modern designer home or an English country house, these rugs demand attention and provide a real focal point for the room. The ultimate living room decoration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
