Are you moving into a new house or do you just want to recreate your living room? Coming up with a desired theme can serve as a great starting point! Before painting your walls, or picking the living room furniture set, it’s best to have an idea of how you want your living room to look like after putting everything together.

There are different themes that you can use to make styling your modern living room furniture set easier. However, it’s easy for us to be caught up with our interests and how we like to see or experience our living room.

Below is a step by step guide to help you come up with your ideal living room.

• Step 1: Consider Your Personality and Lifestyle

   

  

   

Picking the right theme for your living room starts with looking at your lifestyle, your personality or the personality of the whole family. Are you the outdoor type who wants to keep everything fresh and exciting? Or do you prefer to keep things warm and romantic? Since the living room is a common area, you may also want to pick a theme that goes well with the preference of the people living in your house. Make it some space where everyone can hang out, a place that brings your family closer.

• Step 2: Look for Inspirations

   

  

   

If you’re into Pinterest, you can easily create a living room styling board and collect photos that gives you an idea on how your living room can look like. Look for examples of theme and how you can achieve that look. Look for living room furniture set or other items that will look great in your living room and review it before making a purchase. Another way to draw inspiration for your styling is looking through magazines and brochures or blogs and websites.

• Step 3: Consider your budget

   

  

   

One great factor when styling a living room is the budget. Consider the items that you will need in decorating your living room and the amount that you’re willing to spend to buy those items. Be realistic and pick a theme that is attainable instead of dropping the whole idea half way through. If you’re redecorating your living room, look at the items available in your home and draw inspiration from there. If you’re starting from scratch, consider going to craft fairs or thrift shops to look for unique items to complete your living room design.

Coming up with a theme for your living room is a fun way to bring your decoration together. Pick a theme that best describe your family and impress your family and guests with your home styling skills!
