We're in the day and age where we all want our homes to look that little bit extra special and homely. Potentially a few years with extra time at home being the catalyst for this..

3 Killer Tips to a beautifully styled living room
1. Incorporate bold statement pieces of furniture to create a focal point.
Okay so firstly.. Choose items that are both stylish and functional, such as an upholstered armchair, a coffee table, or a TV cabinet. Other great statement pieces could be:
Mirrors
Lamps
Sofas
Poufs/ Ottomans
Chaise longues
2. Add some texture and colour to the room with accessories.
This step is the most fun and you can honestly get carried away with this one but you can use almost anything, all the items below can all be used to create depth and warmth.
Throws
Cushions
Wall art
Rugs
Window treatments
Plants
Baskets
3. Make sure the pieces you choose fit the room's proportions.
Placing furniture that is too big or too small for the space can make the room look cluttered and unbalanced.
