The living room is the most popular place in a house for the entertainment of guests. This is why it is imperative that this area be decorated and made into a friendly atmosphere to ensure the comfort of visitors. The layout of the room must flow well and all items found here should match with the overall theme of the room.

The most basic tip for designing a living room is making sure all colors and themes found here fit together. No clashing colors of any kind unless that is the style desired. Also, never mix modern furniture with old fashioned pieces. Carpets and drapes on the windows should match up to ensure that the rooms color scheme ties together.

The furniture and spacing of furniture can also add to the overall effect of the room. The colors and style of furniture should coordinate with other colors found in the room. Placing the furniture around the central focus of the room, in most cases a television, promotes uniformity of the area. Pieces of furniture in this room include couches, recliners, end tables, and television stands.

Other items that can enhance the composition of a living room are appliances and other items that could be considered decor. Different types of lamps on end tables or pictures that are hung on the wall give the living room a homely sense. If a fireplace is found here, decorating the mantle is also an option. Also, some people put a bar in this room for the serving cocktails to guests.
