Personality: Embrace your Own Style
Gone are the days of cookie-cutter design. This year, it’s all about injecting your personality into your space. Do you love bold boho vibes? Or maybe serene mid-century modern? Choosing a theme that reflects you is the first step to creating a living room you’ll adore. Once you’ve settled on a theme, the next step is choosing a color scheme!
Color: Selecting Your Palette
Now that you’ve got your theme, let’s talk color! Pinterest is a great resource for inspiration, but here’s a hot tip for 2024: Think earthy tones and jewel accents. Earthy tones like terracotta and sage green create a grounding feel, while jewel tones like emerald green or sapphire add a touch of luxury.
Texture: Beyond the Throw
Sure, throws are a classic choice, but why not get creative? For example, layer a chunky knit blanket over a smooth velvet cushion for a playful contrast. Feeling bold? Drape a woven tapestry over the armrest for a boho touch.
Pillow Perfect: The Art of the Mix
Pillows are where the fun really begins! Don’t be afraid to mix patterns and sizes, but keep your color palette in mind. Start by placing larger pillows in the back and layering smaller ones in front. For a curated look, use a mix of solid and patterned fabrics.
The Finishing Touches
A styled sofa isn’t enough for a complete living room. Make sure the surrounding furniture complements your sofa’s theme and color scheme. Choose a coffee table and end tables that tie the look together. Pro tip: Asymmetrical arrangements are on-trend in 2024, so don’t be afraid to experiment!
