Deciding on Living Room Color
The living room or family room is an area where color selection can be quite interesting. Choose a pastel yellow or blue to reflect space and light while brighter colors such as a bright blue, green or even, red can be used to infuse energy and life. Another alternative can be to keep three walls one color and paint one wall in a contrasting color. The idea is to be imaginative and creative.
For a cheap yet tasteful option, keep the color of the walls as it and instead, decorate them with pictures, photograph collections or even an old but bright rug. Collections of items always add interest and character to a room, so use wall space to showcase CD collections, books, music albums or even, framed clippings of interesting news articles. However, do avoid cluttering up the walls with too many pictures and collections.
Choosing a Décor Theme
Interior decorating on a budget can be fun and easy if everyone in the family is involved in the project. So, do ask for suggestions and inputs for theme-based family room ideas from all the members. Theme décor makes rooms look put together yet casual. Choose a simple yet creative theme for the living room and bring in pieces that fit the theme from other parts of the house.
For instance, if entertainment is going to be the main activity in the living room, decorate the room accordingly. An entertainment unit, comprising of a TV, DVD player and music system, along with other leisure material such as, books and magazines must be the focal point. Wall décor can include framed pictures of old movies or CD covers. Make sure that the furniture is comfortable and placed at the right distance from the entertainment unit.
