The Vintage Style Living Room

Old is gold and going back in time to recreate the living space can be never go out of style. Upholstered furniture with pendant lights and a collection of wooden photo frames are essential to create the vintage look. Add few antiques to the display cabinets and keep the choice of colours bright and bold while picking carpets and curtains for a stunning vintage feel.

The Black and White Living Room

Colours come and go with season but the black and white combination is a real classic. If the living room has white walls, keep the furniture in white too. Buy decorative cushions online in different shades of black and strew them across the sofas to feel the white in the background turn brighter and illuminate the entire room. The perfect way to add more glamour to the B&W room is by using some wall art is strong shades of silver or oxidised steel possibly with some mirror work too.

The summer living room

Also referred to as the citrus-inspired theme, summer is all about hues of yellow, orange and red. To implement this theme, set the backdrop of the room to white and play around with fresh colours while setting the decorative cushions, carpets and the curtains. Simple add-ons like a colourful photo frame on the corner table or a silver washed metal wall hanging can help achieved a more refined look for the room
