The living room is the area of the home where we welcome guests or relax after a long day. These rooms vary in size and usually accommodate larger pieces of furniture that often define the layout of the space. The proper choice of sofas, chairs, coffee tables, end tables and consoles are critical to a good design. When you are looking to add those extra finishing touches to your room, remember that accessories and accents will make the difference.

Seasonal accessories are small and can easily be exchanged throughout the year, allowing you to bring a change to your living room without a great expenditure or going through a big renovation. Coffee tables are usually in the center of the living room, often setting the mood and defining the ambiance, so you want to embellish them with objects that are eye-catching. A tray with accompanying accessories is a great element to add dimension to your table scape. Large candles make great coffee table centerpieces that will never go out of style. A live orchid is always a nice touch.

Throw pillows are available in so many colors, patterns and textures. Selecting various sizes and shapes in the pillows will create a pleasing visual effect. This is another easy way to update the look of your sofa or chair and bring a splash of life into your space.

If you want an element that really ties a room together then never underestimate the impact of a rug. You can use bold colors and patterns or choose muted tones and textures. The perfect rug will bring warmth to the room and tie all the furniture together.

Decorative shelves are a nice way to showcase your collectables along with small pieces of artwork. Books can be used to fill in voids rather than dust collecting hanging ivy. The real key to shelf design is not to clutter them, keep things visually placed so you can enjoy all your beautiful treasures.

Lighting is very important for ambience and functionality. Side tables next to your sofas are the perfect places for lamps that will make a dramatic statement in your living room. A floor lamp next to a chair is always welcomed and makes a nice accent. Be creative in your selection of lamps, think of them as objects of art. Don't forget about the overhead lighting, chandeliers that hang over your space are sure to bring style to what may be a vast visual void in the room.

Decorative vases or sculptures are perfect accent pieces to place near a fireplace or on top of a console. The options for accessorizing are limitless. Hunt for them, love what you find and enjoy the impact they have on your space.

Just a few simple additions can bring big changes to your décor creating a living room that shouts wow!
