1. Living Room Color Trends
This year’s hottest colors for living room furniture include earthy muddy greens, dusky pink, light blues, muted teals, and cozy warm whites. By choosing the 60-30-10 rule, you’ll need to select your secondary color for your furniture. Don’t forget to place the primary color (60%) on your walls and rugs. The remaining 10% is reserved for an accent color to be used with pillows and other accessories.
You can choose an earthy muddy green or neutral version of our Fabric Upholstered Saddle Shape Ottoman. Bring a taste of upscale coziness to your living room, plus a hint of modernity. This ottoman offers a fantastic way to kick back and relax. Functional and decorative, it has a washed wood finish base and adds a nice touch to any living room.
Another option is the perfectly poised and effortlessly stylish Classic Elegance Upholstered Sofa in light blue. Perfectly sized to create your living room’s anchor, you’ll receive timeless comfort and understated elegance with this piece. It has turned wood feet to provide a bit of visual contrast with the upholstery.

2 Mixing Textures for Visual Interest
Combining rougher fabrics and smooth leather is all the rage this year! Whether you’re looking for big or small living room furniture ideas, you can also add a luxurious touch to accent chairs with textured velvet. Or, if you wish to make your living room have a more natural, rustic appearance, you can create a breathable feel with a cotton and linen blend.
Our Rosewood Velvet Armchair offers the chic look of velvet upholstery. This chair is sturdy and comfortable, which makes it an ideal choice for a restful sitting area. Want to have velvet on one of your bigger pieces? Choose our Rosewood Velvet Sofa. The sofa and armchair match, but you can purchase either one separately, too.
When you truly want to be comfortable, choose our Deep Seat Leather Armchair. It comes with a sturdy frame and is made from recycled oak. Also, it has a coffee-brown leather seat, armrests, and back. You can add our Farmhouse Stripe Kantha Stitched Throw Blanket to it in your choice of four different colors.

3 Mixing Eclectic Patterns
Plaid and geometric shapes weren’t made to go together, but that’s what makes them so great. Rather than making sure every item in your home matches, it’s much more fun to let your personal style shine through.
Of course, plaid and geometric shapes aren’t usually applied to furniture. However, you can easily incorporate it through your accent pieces. One example of this is to select our Woven Harvest Plaid Throw Pillow and put it in the same room as our Neutral Tones Geometric Pattern Area Rug. These may not seem like they should work together, but once they’re both in your living room, you’ll see how perfect they really are.
Alternatively, you can select plaid for your rug with our Simply Plaid Fringed Ivory/Black Area Rug. Pair it with our Modern Geometric Square Throw Pillow Cover Navy to create tons of visual interest. Whether you choose to use similar colors or something completely eclectic, it’s going to grab attention anytime someone enters your living room.

4 Use the Rule of Three
You’ve got your living room furniture in place, and now it’s time to arrange your decorative items. Many people may assume that having two throw pillows on their sofa is the only way to go. But have you heard about the rule of three? This rule recommends building groups of three, five, or seven to improve visual appeal.
One example can be found with our Square Architectural Pillar Vessel. Sold by itself, this architectural ornament works great as a base for bowls, plants, or seasonal displays. Picking up three of this item allows it to make a much bigger impact, though. Whether you decide to decorate them or leave them by themselves, they’ll draw much more attention in a group of three.
Another way to use the rule of three is for candlestick holders. Again, take our Minimalist Black Iron Taper Holder Set of 3 and set them up in your living room. Even better, this particular set comes with three different sizes. Therefore, it provides extra visual interest for your guests. Placing living room decor like this around your space will keep your visitors happily looking from one area to the next.
