The day of the front room that is so formal is now over. Today’s homes in our modern time are using available living room spaces and embracing casual living room decor to make the most of a significantly less formal space while keeping it special.

With our lifestyle now being always on the go, we need a room that serves a multifunctional purpose that is also combined with style and comfort. If you want room décor that’s relaxing, there are coordinated groupings that are made from today’s family-friendly microfiber fabrics and filled with joint-friendly foams. There are a few things to keep in mind when looking for living room decor:

-Lose heavy curtains

Typically, casual living room decor has heavy drapes that sport miles of fabric. If you like a more playful approach to living room decor, you might try a simple or sheer covered cornice. You can also add a pleated valance for a tailored look. And if you love the richness of fabric in window treatments, be sure to avoid light-obstructing window coverings. You can extend the curtain rods to hang the curtains on the edge of the window frames when fully open. Choose treatments that match the walls and select streamlined hardware.

– Try to go neutral

It would be easy for you to dress up a living room decor if you start with a neutral palette. You can try matching your carpet, walls, and main furniture in neutral tones or colors like beige, tan, and even brown. Then add drama by using accent pieces. Bright art on the wall, oriental rug, and lamps give it the style and color you want while keeping the main pieces simple. As much as possible, keep it understated and classic.

– Eliminate clutter

Casual living room decor doesn’t mean sloppy. When you’re going for a lived-in look but want everything to look attractive and coordinated, keep storage areas available for the necessary clutter of everyday life. Use toy carts, writing implements, and magazine bins. For lap robes and cushions, use ottomans that double as chests. These are great utility pieces that look good and keep things tidy.

– Add some bookshelves

When space is tight and there is more to put, you should invest in shelving that you can use for storage. Shelves are a dimensional element in your living room decor that add focal points and essential functionality to a formal living room décor.

Keep it clean because accidents happen even when you’re being careful. Treat your furniture with a stain protectant and periodically clean your things yourself. You’ll be more comfortable knowing that your furniture is safe from tears, normal wear and tear, pets, and spills.

– Add some black

In living room decor, a black accent is like jewelry, and a small black mirror frame, lamp base, or knick-knacks will help create a tidy look, even if there are messy things in sight. Think more of a black accent piece. A group of taller black pieces like chandelier-like pieces that are assembled in threes adds a professional touch, even if you’re on a tight budget.

– Include a natural element

In your living room decor, add a natural element for an effective source of surprise and texture. This could include a vase.
