9. Living nature
Pantone chose Living Coral as its 2019 Color of the Year for its “animating and life-affirming” hue. This year, choose unique decor from the natural world, whether it be living, skeletonized, fossilized or referential. Change out floor and table lamps for ones with metal, raffia or burlap shades. Hang a modular strip of geometric patterned wallpaper in black and honey. Buy a couple of big, bold plants. Opt for a floral print or two in startling accent colors that correspond to your motif.
For a dramatic finish, embrace tassels, textured fabrics and fringe. Buy small conversation piece decor items made from sustainable materials, like bamboo, jute, rice paper or clay.
10. Compact storage
Your living room decor ideas need to accommodate the life you live.
We’ve all got stuff and need somewhere to store it, even if there isn’t much of it left after spring cleaning. If you want to splurge on an update for your living room this year, think about investing in a vintage Art Deco compact storage solution, like an antique S-shaped bookcase or folding table.
