Are you struggling to decorate your expansive living room? 

Let’s face it, decorating a large living room can be intimidating. Without the right design tactics, large living rooms can feel cold and deserted. This is why planning your living room design from the get-go is crucial. 

To help, we’re sharing five tips on how to decore a large living room. From creating zones to avoiding wall-hugging furniture, these tips are sure to make your living room feel like home.

Living room with zones

1. Create Zones 

First things first, you’re going to want to create zones within the room. 

This helps to divide the space visually and take away from the large square footage. With this, you can look to create separate living areas within the same room. 

For example, you may create a space that is designated as a formal sitting room. Within that same room, you can create another space that is a comfortable and casual lounging area.

2. Utilize Area Rugs 

In America, the average home size is 2422 square feet.

With such large square footage, many homeowners rely on area rugs to create a sense of coziness within the home. As per living rooms, this is a simple yet incredibly effective tool for separating the room. 

In a large space, a textured rug can also help to make the room feel more warm and comfortable. This is particularly important for those large rooms that tend to feel cold and overbearing due to large square footage.

3. Focus on the Center of the Room 

One of the most common mistakes in decorating a large room is poor furniture placement. 

In a large space, you want to ensure that you’re focusing the majority of your furniture in the center of the room. This helps to draw the eye inward and allows the space to feel more balanced. 

The goal is to avoid wall-hugging furniture. When furniture is placed against the walls, there’s often too much open space in the middle of the room. As a result, the room can feel cold and empty.

4. Opt for Bold Colors 

Did you know that color can influence up to 90% of an initial impression? 

When it comes to wall paint and furnishings, don’t shy away from bold colors! The colors that you choose will dictate how people feel when they step into your living room. 

With a neutral color pattern, large living rooms can feel cold and deserted. This is why populating the room with warm and exotic colors is so effective with large spaces.

5. Incorporate Texture 

In a large room, it’s all about creating a sense of texture. 

The good news is that texture can be introduced to a room in a variety of ways. This could be with anything from rugs and curtains to pillows and baskets. Whatever it may be, allow yourself to have fun with it! 

You can also mix patterns in your home decor by double-layering with your textures. For example, you can layer two rugs together to elevate your textures even further.
