So, getting the opinion of each member of your family is essential.
Drawing the Layout and Looking for Ideas
Drawing the layout makes things natural, and the execution becomes easy. After having a general idea of what to do with the space, drawing a design on paper or any software makes things convenient and while doing so, come up with some kind of scheme. In this step, you need to decide the colour of your wall, the size of the furniture, the decorative you’re going to use and mark them on your layout. You can also look for images of the living room that replicates your idea, or you can change yours with a better view.

Purchase the Decor Items
Decorating your living room is like giving it life. After selecting the more significant items like furniture, focus on small ones because small details matter.

Wall arts like canvas, mirror, and wall decor can make the wall look beautiful, or you can also hang photos of your family in the living room; it gives a feeling of love and warmth. Rugs are essentials; living room rugs have their requirement that they should be big enough to fit all the furniture, and you can never go wrong with plants. A little bit of greenery not only makes the living room beautiful but also is good for health.

Add a place to rest your leg:
Find comfort for your legs with furniture while sitting on the chair of your living room that will enhance the layout of the space. Select furniture while keeping the proportion of room in mind, like in a narrow margin, buy a small armchair with a matching footstool. Arrange the chairs at an angle that gives a sense of depth to the room. Otherwise, if all chairs are facing the wall, it will end up creating a narrow alley.
