Simple Ways To Add Personality To Your Living Room

A living room is a space that most people spend a lot of time in, so it should reflect the homeowner’s unique tastes and lifestyle.

Often, when living room spaces are decorated, they can sometimes fall flat in expressing the unique needs of the client. When a homeowner designs the space on their own, they’re often focusing on wall color or exactly matching colors. The result is a room with no personality. Although it’s always best to get the help of a professional, especially when starting from scratch, here are a few easy ways to infuse a little personality into an already decorated space.
Add rich color.

Add additional textiles.

One great way to add personality to a space is to choose an unexpected textile. You may have worked hard to color coordinate the fabrics on your sofa, however, adding another fabric selection that is unexpected and that you really love can add so much to a space. The key is to be mindful of the scale of the pattern and the color story in space. Adding a fabric that you truly love and might be unexpected is a great way to add a little personality.

Use your collections.

Whether it is a collection of items from your travels or a collection of items that have been passed down to you from a relative, if you love it, use it and display it. These are the types of items that add personality to a space. Using items that you love helps to create the look of a room that is developed over time, as opposed to a room that was selected on a weekend shopping trip. These items should be in harmony with the decor but don’t need to “match,” everything in a space. Grouping items together or on a tray can create a lot of personality in a room.

Select artwork that is meaningful.

his could be a piece of fine art selected during your travels that you really fell in love with or a simple photograph or postcard framed for display in the space; consider using it in your living room.

Until next time,
