Color
Color - There are so many ways to add color to your home. You can do it with towels, throw pillows, table skirts, folding screens, new bed sheets, candles, picture frames and more. Just take a look around and you will find heaps of ideas to add color. Living Room Decorating Tip #8
Walls
Make a striking display for your living room by framing pieces of fabric. Cut the fabric all the same size and run them like a border or use different sizes and display them as a focal point. The effect is just stunning as it can be done for any room with any decor.
A different framing idea is to use all those attractive greeting cards you collect. Display the cards in various elaborate picture frames and group the frames on a wall, shelf, headboard or table together.

I deal with interior designers during most of my day and find that having things in place gives people a more relaxed and at ease feeling in their homes. That's really what the end result is, coming home to a retreat from the stresses of everyday life and having your home help them dissolve.
Thanks for the tips!

Here's a good tip for decorating your living room Since proper space planning is extremely important, drawing a scaled furniture floor plan should come before anything else. Measure every wall, length, width and height, measure space between windows, size of openings and make note of electrical outlets in the room. Then make several photocopies so that you can experiment with different furniture arrangements.
