Creating an Elegant Living Room
Lisa Quinn turns a dull living room into a modern space with some really fun touches. She used the living room at the Martin Designers Showcase Home in California as inspiration for her makeover.
Living Room Decor Tips:
- In a small room, the use of an interesting rug may make up for the absence of accessories and colorful artwork.
- Use anti-slip underlays in order to keep any rug in place.
- If you have kids or pets, choose durable couches (leather or corduroy).
- If your fire place looks dated consider painting it. It can make it look more modern.
- Before choosing a dining room table, remember to measure your dining room. Don't forget you will need space for the chairs and you should be able to walk around the table.
- Chairs without solid backs ("airy spaces" with bars between) can make them appear as if they aren't taking too much space
- A more rustic finish will hide the normal wear and tear of young family members.
- Clear tables take up less space visually and work well in small spaces.
- A round table usually takes up less space.
- Buy long twigs (you can find them at many stores including IKEA)
- Find pretty white paper flowers in two sizes (Michael's carries a selection of faux white flowers in their wedding section)
- The flowers should have small wires on the back
- Use the wires to wrap around the twigs.
- Spread out the flowers and use two different size flowers. Don't use too many flowers, just a few for a delicate look.
- Use the glue gun to keep flowers in place if needed
- Cut your twigs to the desired size
- Use a clear vase to place twigs in
