Living rooms are the place where families gather to play games, talk or just hang out together, doing their own thing. When you decorate your living space, it’s important to keep in mind the types of activities that will be enjoyed there. If you like to read, a cozy window seat is a great idea, while those who play games with family members will need a table big enough for that Risk gameboard.
Your living room becomes the heart of your home and is frequently the first thing anyone sees when they visit, apart from the entry or foyer. Make sure it’s an inviting space where you can enjoy time spent with friends and family, or even alone. Overall, your living space should be comfortable and enjoyable to spend time in.
