Choosing Your Style<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe first decision you need to make when choosing your living room design is what style you want to go for, as that will dictate living room wall decor, furniture and accessories. Taking the character and period of the house into consideration, you may look at numerous different concepts \u2013 if you\u2019re house is relatively new, then a modern living room or minimalist living room may be worth considering.<\/p>\n
With a contemporary living room, it\u2019s very much about less is more, making the space work for you just as much as your living room furniture does. Think clean lines, bold shapes, with splashes of colour to really stand out.<\/p>\n
If your house is slightly older and you live in a more rural area, your living room d\u00e9cor might not suit a contemporary style \u2013 instead, you may veer towards a more rustic living room or even a farmhouse living room. This would see a warmer palette, using lots of natural textures, wood and perhaps some reclaimed furniture.<\/p>\n

Painting Your Room<\/h4>\n
The easiest and most affordable way to give your living room a new look is by painting the walls. Whereas some DIY room d\u00e9cor can be a little daunting, painting a room is relatively straightforward and can have a big impact on the aesthetic.<\/p>\n
When considering the colour palette for your living room interior, think about the kind of look and feel you want to create. Do you want a fresh, modern feel or a warmer, rustic vibe? Before making your decision, it\u2019s also worth spending some time working out what colours would go with your living room furniture, if you\u2019re planning to use the furniture from your last house.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, if you\u2019re planning on bringing some new furniture into the equation, such as an armchair or maybe an occasional chair, this gives you the flexibility to choose a colour scheme to suit, and you can then match the furniture accordingly.<\/p>\n

Furnishing Your Living Space<\/h4>\n
How you furnish your living space will make a big difference to the room\u2019s overall aesthetic. You may have furniture that you already own that you can style to fit in with your new interiors. For example, a leather chair like the Sandhurst<\/a> can be styled to suit several different types of d\u00e9cor \u2013 whether you\u2019re going for contemporary or farmhouse look \u2013 the right accessories will ensure it complements your overall look.<\/p>\nIf you\u2019re looking to completely overhaul your furniture, this will give you a lot more creative freedom \u2013 you can choose living room chairs<\/a>, coffee table d\u00e9cor and accessories to match your new design.<\/p>\nDon\u2019t be afraid to make some bold choices, whether it\u2019s a new colour or configuration \u2013 have confidence in your ideas! Before making any final decisions, try pulling it all together on somewhere like Pinterest to see if it all works and if you\u2019re still not sure, you can order sofa swatches which can sometimes help when looking at complementing your wall colour.<\/p>\n

DIY Decor<\/h4>\n
Does the phrase \u2018do it yourself\u2019 bring you out in a cold sweat or fill you with excitement? DIY isn\u2019t for everyone, but some jobs can be undertaken which aren\u2019t too difficult and can make a real change to your living space.<\/p>\n
Painting is one such job but there are other DIY wall d\u00e9cor options, including wallpapering or panelling. Before doing anything, it\u2019s best to watch some tutorials to see how do-able you think these tasks are!<\/p>\n
Panelling can make a real difference and can help to create a mid-century modern living room or a rustic space \u2013 depending on the type of panelling and the colour you go for.<\/p>\n
As well as living room wall d\u00e9cor, you can also make some changes to your floor. Hiring a sander to spruce up your wooden floor can transform your room \u2013 and different coloured stains and varnishes can help you to create the desired effect.<\/p>\n

Decorating on a Budget<\/h4>\n
With legal fees, stamp duty and the general cost of moving, it can be difficult to actually put aside a decent budget for decorating! If you\u2019re not in a position to make any big changes in the early stages of your move, here a few living room ideas on a budget<\/a>:<\/p>\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 Furniture Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\nIf your living room furniture isn\u2019t quite right but you can\u2019t make any major changes straight away, then think accessories. Sofa cushions, lampshades, rugs and picture frames, which are all relatively inexpensive, can provide a nod to your intended d\u00e9cor, and help you take that first step towards your new design.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0 Be Inspired with Colour<\/strong><\/p>\nEven if you can\u2019t change your living room furniture in the early days of your move, you can change the colour of your walls without it costing the earth and it can make a real difference to the look and feel of your living space. A lick of paint can be the first step towards your new interior and can sometimes inspire other ideas you didn\u2019t even know were there!<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0 Sofa Throws<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you\u2019re really not happy with your sofa and are counting down the days until you can change it, a throw is a budget-friendly way of giving your furniture a quick and simple makeover until you\u2019re in a position to bring home the sofa of your dreams!<\/p>\n
When you move, you may want to get started on redesigning your living room immediately. But sometimes it can be helpful to live in the space for a few weeks or months, to make sure you know all its nuances \u2013 from how the light falls during the day, to how you use the space, before making any big changes.<\/p>\n
