How To Give A Living Room A Unique Look

There’s nothing like crafting a well designed living room suitable for entertaining guests and enjoying life with loved ones. The nucleus of the house often sets a tone for the rest of your house: it’s very often the space guests see first in the house, and it’s likely the place people spend most time in. 

Strike the perfect balance between modern, unique and vintage styles in your living room. The overall design and style need to be taken into consideration to create a fuss-free space. You’d also want to figure out how to give character to a living room, so that it looks like your space truly.

With these living room design ideas, we help you get that perfect unique space in your home!

1. Decorative Moulding

Decorative moulding is one of the cheapest ways to give your room a high-end look without spending big bucks. And with a little time and DIY know-how you can do it yourself in a weekend. 

However, even if you decide to hire a professional, it’s still relatively low-cost and well worth the investment. For the most sophisticated and elegant look, paint the moulding the same colour as the walls.

2. Display an Antique

Nothing gives a room a sense of wisdom and history more so than a lovely antique. Antique items have a patina that simply can’t be recreated in items found in big box stores. You don’t need to spend a fortune, just find something that looks like you might have picked it up at a Paris flea market. 

Large-scale accessories like lamps, mirrors, and pieces of furniture are great, but small accessories can also do the trick. Antique boxes, sculptural wall sconces, or even antique picture frames can give your room a certain uniqueness that makes it look like you spent more than you really did.

3. Include Curvy Shapes

A room where all the lines are straight and clean might fall flat. To add depth and interest to any room it’s important to use a variety of shapes. If the goal is to make the room look more elaborate, add some curvy items. These can come from anywhere—accessories, mirrors, lamps, furniture legs, the list goes on.

4. Add Metallic Items

A few metallic surfaces help add a luxe look to any room; however, it’s important not to overdo it. A gold leaf mirror, a brass table, a few pieces of vintage silver—these are all things that can help you make your room look more expensive. It’s okay to think small. You only need a little to get a lot. 

5. Fresh Flowers

Fresh flowers can instantly lift the mood of a room; the bigger the bouquet, the more luxurious the look. That’s not to say you need a huge ostentatious display on every surface, but make sure any bouquets you display are not sparse, but rather full and lush. 

A big, bountiful bouquet of flowers on a coffee table or mantle adds instant character. You could pick a bouquet that reflects your personality: do you want roses or orchids or something else?
