Ok, this is the biggie really. Whether it's a space for the family, for entertaining or just simply relaxing in front of the box, the living room tends to be the hub of the house these days.
We do spend an awful lot of time in this one room and, as a result, more than any other place we hang out in the house, tends to reflect the 'real us.' It also happens to be the first room we invite guests in to.
So, for all these reasons, it's important to get it right.
Regardless of the latest trends the leather armchair will always play a stylish part. This always points to chic living. It's classy, elegant and can be as funky as you like draped in the right material or fabric.
Lighting is important too and if you have a high ceiling you MUST see how great your room would look with a chandelier (if you haven't already). We have some fab designs, shapes and colours in store (check them out).
Embrace the Mad Men 1950s vibe and treat yourself to a drinks cabinet (most of these beautiful elegant wooden pieces have matching chairs, tables, sideboards and console tables.
Curtains and cushions play a special part in the living room. And this is where it's easy to really splash out on these items ('specially if we have large bay windows). From 3D lighthouses to cupcakes and a traditional manor check, cushions tend often be the finishing touch to a room and are often highly under-rated. We're a big fan of co-ordinating cushions here at Chic Living but feel free to do your own thing. And if you wish to add a bit more comfort to your living room, why not compliment your sofa with a throw? Just let us see the finished results so we can post a pic on our blog...
