Cadence Furniture - Lounge
 |
There are many ways to decorate your living
room. As this is usually the room where a
family entertains guests and spends time
together, much thought usually goes into the
design.
Sometimes,
however, inspiration is hard to come by.
Cadence Furniture can give you that
contemporary, stylish start to a whole new
lounge room and with some finishing touches
you can soon have a room that looks like it
has stepped out of a style magazine..
Here are a few living room decorating ideas
to help get your creative juices flowing.

Determine your design style.
Look through home decorating
magazines and see what you like.
You may have thought that you
were inspired by country living,
but find yourself drawn to the
clean lines of a modern design.
Even if you like both styles,
you can mix them to create a
style that is your own. You can
choose country items that have a
more modern edge, and modern
design pieces with country
flair.
This way you can achieve a look
that you love without settling
on one style. |

Wall
Colours
One living room decorating idea
that is sure to spice up your
space is to choose a bold wall
colour.
Some
shy away from saturated colours,
but these are the very hues that
can make a dramatic statement
about your personality. If you
do not want to paint all of the
walls in your living room a bold
colour, you can paint an accent
wall.
These walls are great to make
an impression without
overwhelming the room. You can
then use accessories to tie the
colour into the rest of the room
- see the
Cadence Range
for examples of this |

Window Treatments
Updating your window treatments
will also go a long way towards
improving the atmosphere. Choose
binds or curtains that
compliment the design style you
have chosen for the rest of your
room.
Using rich looking fabrics on
the windows will add a feeling
of luxury to your room, and help
to bring all of your living room
decorating ideas together.
The
Cadence Furniture Dark Wood
Range
goes particularly well with rich
reds and earth tones, but you
can see in our images that egg
shell blues look equally
stunning. Our
Adira Solid Oak Range
looks beautiful with creams and
neutral tones. |

Lighting - is yours right?
Another key element in living
room decorating ideas is
lighting.
Make
sure your lighting is adequate,
but not overpowering. Dont use
florescent lights as they are
very harsh, and a living room is
all about mood.
Use an updated overhead fixture
to provide general light, and a
few lamps around the room for
task lighting.
Don't overlook candles. Not only
are they decorative, but they
provide mood lighting as well.
You can get candles and holders
in all different colours and
sizes to help achieve your
living room decorating ideas. |

Wall Art
On thing not to neglect is
putting art on your walls.
This helps to bring the room
together and adds a personal
touch. You can choose painted
canvases that can look great all
on their own, or a framed print
in shades that compliment your
colour scheme.
Another
great wall art idea is
photographs. These can be family
pictures or perhaps a black and
white landscape or city sky
line. The key here is not to
overdo it. Keep it simple and
un-crowded. If your walls are
too busy, it will detract from
the overall atmosphere you are
working to create |
