Living room is one of the most important place of a home, as it hosts guests of the family and first impression of the home depends mostly on the outlook of the living room. So it is a good thing to decorate the living room properly that reflects the taste of the home owner. Here are some ideas to decorate the living room in the new year.

USE THE SPACE
Create space in your living room using furniture to create a multi-functional and multi-aspect living space. Living room interior design is all about making the best use of the space you have available to you and sectioning the space with furniture is a great way to do this. Living room decor is all about functionality and flow, and compartmentalizing your space is a clever way of achieving both, in a subtle way.

COMPACT SIDE TABLES
Compact side tables are great for freeing up space in a living room while giving you the surface space and functionality you need. Metals are very in right now, and we are seeing a lot of gold, silver, and bronze being worked into the designs, as well as interesting geometric shapes.

NESTING TABLES
Space saving speaks for itself. Three tables take up the space of one, but as soon as you have guests round, there is more than enough surface area for cups of coffee. Our favorite styles at the moment are circular tables with metallic frames, and we’ve seen some hexagonal nesting tables that caught our eye too. For super modern living room decor, how about anthracite nesting tables with a subtle hue to really open up your living room interior.

CONSOLE TABLES
If your living room design isn’t complete without an original piece of furniture to make a statement, then make it with an audacious console table.

CUT OUT THE COUCH
One of the biggest changes in the evolution of interior design is that you don’t have to follow tradition and have a couch in your living room like everyone else does. Be bold, be different. Ditch the classic couch and choose something else, like bench seating, a group of comfy chairs, or a chaise or a settee.

MAXIMALISM
Minimalism is out and maximalism is in; if bare surfaces, a muted color scheme, and limited personality wasn’t for you, then you are in luck. Maximalism is sweeping through living room interior design like never before – think cozy and decadent for your living room decor and use it as an opportunity to showcase cherished treasures while evoking bounce your personality throughout your living room interior.

PARLOR-STYLE SEATING
A parlor was always the place where the entertaining was done, and if you are a social butterfly, then parlor-style seating is a great direction to consider. A settee and chairs arranged around a table are guaranteed to make for the best social entertainment space that living room interior design can muster.

WALL LAMPS AND SCONCES
You might have thought that wall lamps and sconces were a thing of the past in living room interior design, but our interior designers keep reporting on new convertible styles and our clients keep asking for lighting options that take the least table-space. Wall lamps and sconces are back in full force; from modern matte finishes to over-sized swing arms to Art Decor-inspired lighting and double sconces, illumination options are taking a remarkably different turn.

GO TONAL
When it comes to small living room interior design, going tonal is a great way to make the area appear larger, more defined, and best of all, it makes decorating your living room much easier as there is less room for error.

GET MOODY
Add some brooding sophistication to your living room decor by introducing darker hues that are easier to keep clean and opt for more intimate, darker lighting to keep the feel cozy and luxurious.
