Decorate a Living Room With Yellow Walls and a Black Leather Sofa
The living room is one of the most pivotal rooms of the house. The living room is where family members relax, enjoy entertainment and where most homeowners host guests. Thus, the living room should have decor that is conducive to creating an environment ideal for those activities. This doesn't mean that you need to spend a lot of cash on home decor items; it just means that you need to decorate strategically, considering such goals. For example, careful planning could prevent a living room with yellow walls and a black sofa from too easily looking evocative of a bumble bee. Does this Spark an idea?
Change Home Decor From Burgundy to Brown
Burgundy is a rich, deep color, reminiscent of a dark tone of red. Popular over a decade ago, burgundy was used everywhere in homes--on walls, curtains, pillows, towels and more. Home decorating colors rotate in popularity every few years, leaving no one, other than designers, with an idea as to what colors will be trendy in upcoming years.
