Styling Your Living Room: Incorporating Artwork and Decorative Accents

The living room is a versatile space that caters to a range of needs, from relaxation and reflection to socializing and entertainment. Whether we’re lounging alone or hosting guests, it’s important that the room exudes warmth and comfort without sacrificing functionality. Achieving this balance requires a thoughtful and personalized approach to interior design. In this guide, we’ll share our top tips for styling a living room that is both inviting and dynamic, from integrating cohesive styles to incorporating eye-catching accents.

The basis of harmonious living room furnishings

To create a harmonious living room, it’s important to combine elements that work well together. Choose a furnishing style that you love and that can stand the test of time. A minimalist style is a great choice because it allows room for growth and development. While it’s important to maintain a consistent look with furniture, colors, and materials, don’t be afraid to add personal touches and accent pieces. Simple surroundings provide a perfect backdrop for highlighting your favorite items.

Furniture

The seating area is typically the focal point of a living room, and we also enjoy positioning the sofa and armchairs in a way that draws attention to them when you walk in. They create a feeling of relaxation and ease. A seagrass carpet can reinforce this impression and transform your sofa and chairs into the centerpiece of the room.

Transform your living room into a stunning haven with the IKEA Kallax unit and hyacinth cube baskets! With its simple and stylish design, the Kallax is the perfect storage solution for any modern living space. Add to that the natural beauty of the hyacinth basket, and you’ll have an effortlessly chic living room that will impress anyone who visits. These baskets not only add a touch of elegance but also provide a practical way to styling your living room and make it organized. With this winning combination, you’ll have the perfect balance of style and functionality in your living room.

Colors

Use uniform colors in your living room by picking two to three main colors and repeating them in different areas. Large pieces of furniture should be monochromatic and simply designed, while light colors and earthy tones create a homely atmosphere. Use patterns and selective color breaks for smaller details and accessories to add depth to your room. White walls can act as a canvas for the mind and show off your furniture and home accessories particularly well. Furnish your living room with natural materials like palm leaves, water hyacinth, or seagrass to balance the clean white and add warmth.

For example, our set of open weave baskets with sturdy handles make it easy to carry. The harmonious combination of the beige seagrass baskets and the white wall color is a study in harmony.

Design living room with light

The lighting in your living room isn’t just about illuminating the space, it’s about setting the mood and creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Why settle for a single, bright lamp when you can use a variety of light sources to create a cozy and comfortable environment? Mix and match floor lamps, table lamps, ceiling fixtures, and even candles to suit your needs and preferences.

How about this design of seagrass lampshade? With its artful patterns and tones, it is certainly a must-haved piece for styling your living room.

Embrace natural daylight when designing your living room by keeping your windows unobstructed and allowing the sunshine to illuminate your space. Not only will this help you save energy by avoiding the use of artificial lighting during the day, but it will also create a warm and welcoming ambiance. When selecting a ceiling lamp for your living room, opt for one that can complement and enhance the natural light. Our natural lamp shades are a perfect example of a statement piece that adds a touch of style and flair even when it’s not in use.

Set up your living room with practical accessories

Baskets

Baskets are incredibly versatile and useful accessories to have in your living room. Depending on their size and shape, they can serve a variety of different purposes. For instance, Sets of seagrass storage baskets with wooden frame and intricate weaving keep things tidy and help you store small items.

The larger basket like hyacinth wicker storage baskets work well as the basket for the blankets or scarves in the living room.

We also like basket sets to set up the living room. Handmade baskets made of natural materials such as seagrass and water hyacinth are not just practical items, but also small works of art that can be used to decorate and create a unified and calming overall impression in your living room.

Planters

Indoor plants not only bring vitality to your living room furnishings, but they can also serve as a creative way to decorate your baskets. Plant baskets made from the same material can visually blend different plants. You can even create your own urban jungle, using either large plants or arranging small groups of different-sized specimens to achieve a natural look.

Wall hanging

A seagrass wall hanging is a versatile and stylish addition to any living room. Made from natural fibers, it adds warmth and texture to your walls and creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere. You can hang it on a blank wall, above a sofa or bed, or even use it as a backdrop for a gallery wall. With its neutral color and organic material, it complements a wide range of decor styles from bohemian to coastal to rustic. And the best part is that it is an eco-friendly and sustainable choice, making it a great option for conscious consumers.

For instance, our seagrass mirror is a beautiful and unique addition to any living room decor.
