Living Room Makeovers

The living room has many functions, it is a place of rest and relaxation, an area for entertaining guests, a entertainment area for TV and stereo. Decoration can help create those separate spaces within one, with the use of floor rugs, furniture placement or even lighting placement.

One of the most important things to think about for this space is that it is the one room that your guests will definately see, along with the guest bathroom.

Therefore it is "your home" in one room essentially. This is the room where people will see how you live, what taste you have your style, your interests and they will hopefully feel welcome and that they can fit in to your home and relax.

So don't be afraid to personalise your living room.

Too often we see magazines with beautiful interiors, but can you tell who would live there? Could you sit down and tell a story from what you see? Or is it like an advertisement for your local decorating store!

I look around my living room and I can see a very old, huge timber clock about a meter wide with old metal hands, making a loud tick tock as the pendulum swings. Every time someone walks into our living room they comment on the clock, the story is told of it's history and conversation is started, it acts as a talking point and makes people relax and feel comfortable, it also tells a bit of history of my husbands family.

Look around your living room, does it tell your story? Get out there and makeover your living room and make it as gorgeous as possible but remember to keep a piece of you in it!
