Arranging limited accessories in proper position makes the interior decoration meaningful. The visual flow of a room must be maintained to get a beautiful outcome.

You don’t have to buy many items you utilize the natural boons. One example is the sunlight. Allowing sunlight to enter into the living room brings positive energy with it.

Instead use small crafts, family photographs, precious medal etc. to make a room with some life. You can use arts to personalize and setting a theme in the room. Use it wisely or otherwise your room will be no different than a craft shop.

 

5. Experiments on walls

Walls in your living room are the canvas of your personality. One way to reduce expenditure on the wall is painting yourself. It’s demanding work but the final result will defiantly satisfy you. Use offers available in wholesale shops. Buy your samples as a combo. This will save money. You can use some apps which relate the total wall area to the paint needed.

6. Ceilings and floors
7. a) Ceiling

Ceiling defines the size of a room. So hanging an expensive chandelier in a small room isn’t decorative. Know the proportion of the room and select the fittings in the up space. For low ceilings choose low profile furniture. This will help to maintain the space between floor and ceiling. You can use cheap vertical lined wallpapers to create an illusion of a high ceiling.

1. b) Floor

Carpet with area rugs is the best alternative to the wall to wall carpet. Various texture and colors are available for a personalized look. Or you can make a custom rug to fit in the overall theme of the living room. Relate the rug or carpet size to the furniture or wall. An alone carpet will make a negative impression.

7. Furniture selection

Furniture is the most important and expensive necessity in living room decoration. To decrease the blame in the budget, try mixing older furniture with fresh items. You can polish and repair old and functional table and chairs. Divert the gained money to buy some contemporary piece of furniture. Convertible furniture is another great choice. They can be wall mounted or stand free. Such item replaces the need of other furniture.
