Decorating Ideas For Living Room

I watch HGTV a lot, and one of the things I see them doing in large living rooms is to group the sofa and chairs in the middle of the room so that the sofa is facing the fireplace with end tables on each side of it and a coffee table in front. Then the chairs are flanking each side of the sofa facing the coffee table. Around the outer edges of the room wherever there is wall space, they place other pieces of furniture, such as a bookcase, desk, etc.

That is kind of hard for anybody to tell you without seeing the room and seeing what you have for furniture. It also depends on what you like and how you like your furniture arranged.

I need ideas for re-decorating my living room, any suggestions? The windows are floor to ceiling and the fireplace is 2-sided in a corner. It's brick and has a mantle. I'd like to incorporate color into the room.

If the brick is dark color, consider painting it a sand or tan color, if not white. Update the walls with earthtones (today's earthtones include reds and blues). Slipcover the furniture and make sure nothing is pressed tight to its neighbor item, a roomy airflow feeling. (07/23/2008)
