LIVING

With well-considered décor choices, you may turn your living space into a comfortable and fashionable retreat. For a cozy atmosphere, start with layered lighting, mixing dimmable above lights, table lamps, and floor lamps. A statement wall with striking paint, wallpaper, or a well chosen collection of artwork and mirrors can add individuality. Add texture with velvety rugs, knit throws, and velvet pillows, and add freshness and vitality with indoor trees and potted plants. Decorative storage options like shelves with carefully chosen displays and woven baskets can help you keep clutter at bay. Seasonal additions like fresh flowers or comfortable wraps can be used to highlight a distinctive coffee table or accent piece like a striking chair. Reflect light, use mirrors to enlarge the space, and add depth by putting bookshelves in balanced clusters or adding carpets. Last but not least, add sentimental objects to the room, such as family portraits or trip souvenirs, and complete the look with chic window coverings.
