CREATING A BALANCED LIVING ROOM

When done properly, a living room can be the heart of the home. Here we look at a few things to consider when reaching for the design you've always wanted.

When it comes to design, the living room is perhaps the most important area to get right. This is where you and your family will come together each day to catch up and to hang out. Setting up the room in a balanced way will help foster an atmosphere that lends itself to spending quality time with your loved ones.

DECLUTTER

The first place to start when trying to transform your living room into the homely, community space that you've always wanted, is to focus on decluttering. Most of us simply have too many things, collected here and there over the years, and now they're populating every nook and cranny of our homes. By streamlining the objects in your living room, you're adding a layer of intention to every piece that you choose to keep. You don't have to throw away too much. Instead you can donate some things while storing others in a different area of your home. This isn't about minimalism either, it's about finding a balance that suits you. So trust your judgement and consider how many items you need as you declutter.
