10 Must-Have Décor Pieces to Elevate Your Living Room Style

  • A living room should be the heart of your home. It’s the room you want to be comfortable, practical, cosy and inviting. Whether you’re chatting with an old friend or relaxing with a favourite book, the right decor makes all the difference. 

    Living Space delivers a luxury interior design service, including sourcing exquisite pieces for your interiors. You’re welcome to visit one of our showrooms in central London to view our latest collections. 

    1. A Statement Sofa

    A sofa is arguably the most important piece in a living room. Whether you choose a leather design, plush velvet piece, or a Scandi-inspired look, it should both be comfy and anchor the room. 

    Living Space can help you choose a colour and material that align with your style.

    Our contemporary sofas currently have 30% off, with many stunning designs to choose from. Among our latest collection is the Holden Sofa which is a generously sized piece which offers a luxurious experience. It comes in 38 different fabric groups and 5 varieties of leather. 

    2. Area Rug

    Rugs are wonderful for adding warmth to your space, especially in winter. They can also help emphasise your seating area and pull together your colour scheme. Living Space has rugs in an array of colours and styles, from vibrant designs to neutral rugs for understated elegance. 

    Wool and jute are durable options, while synthetic fibres can offer affordability and easy maintenance. Among our wide range is our Glenn rug, pictured below.

    3. Layered Lighting

    Lighting is key to creating the ambience you want. Our interior designers are highly skilled at finding the ideal lighting for your space and sense of style. Below is just one example of our pendant lighting.

    From statement ceiling lights to floor or table lamps, we can help you make use of layered lighting in your living room.  Layered lighting adds depth, while dimmable options provide flexibility for various occasions.

    4. Get Creative with Decorative Cushions

    Cushions are one of the easiest ways to update your space. It’s a good idea to choose cushions in different sizes, textures and patterns. This will make your room feel more dynamic and inviting.

    5. The Power of Artwork

    Artwork is important for infusing a room with personality and character. Whether a large, striking painting, a gallery wall, or sculpture, it can also serve as a focal point. Living Space can help you find pieces that resonate with your tastes and your new décor. 

    Frame prints elegantly or lean canvases casually against walls for a more relaxed vibe.

    6. A Beautiful Coffee Table

    A coffee table is an essential for most people. It’s the natural home of books, iPads, your cup of coffee and much more. It can also tie your seating arrangement together. 

    Choose a table that fits your space – a sleek glass-top design for a contemporary feel, or a wooden one for rustic charm. Living Space has a collection of low tables which make wonderful additions to your room. 

    7. Books and Magazines

    In a living room, books and magazines not only entertain; they also act as décor. Once you have a beautiful coffee table, why not add a stack of our favourites? Or choose titles with gorgeous covers that reflect the colour scheme of your room. 

    8. Add a Green Touch

    Plants inject life to your room. They can also improve its air quality. Biophilic design has never been more popular in the world of interior design, with stylish planters doubling as a form of decor in living rooms. 

    9. Throws and Blankets

    Drape a luxurious throw over your sofa or armchair for added cosiness. Throws in soft, natural fabrics like wool, cotton, or cashmere are both functional and visually appealing. They can also add a splash of colour or texture to your space.

    10. Mirror-Mirror-on-the-Wall

    Did you, mirrors aren't just practical? They are also wonderful for creating the illusion of space and light. A well-placed mirror can transform a small living room, making it feel larger and brighter.

    Our interior designers can help choose a design that complements your style, whether it’s an ornate, vintage frame or sleek, modern design.

    Extra Tips for a Cohesive Look

    • Stick to a Palette. Select a colour palette and ensure your décor pieces work harmoniously within it.
    • Balance Proportions. Avoid overcrowding the space. Let each piece have its moment.
    • Add Personal Touches. Incorporate sentimental items like family photos, travel souvenirs, or heirlooms to make your living room truly unique.

    By incorporating these ten types of decor, you can effortlessly elevate your living room’s style, creating a space that is both chic and inviting. Whether you prefer modern minimalism or eclectic charm, Living Space will ensure it’s tailored to reflect your personal taste.
