 | Decorating a living room is likely one of the largest and most complicated jobs that you’ll undertake in your home or apartment. Unless there is a family room or den where you spend a lot of hours, this will be the room that you are in more than any other, and also where you will host family gatherings, or welcome visitors. Once you are done with the time-consuming tasks of finishing your floors, or painting and papering walls, and have re-placed your furniture and window drapes or blinds, there will be time to step back and ask yourself what you could add to the floor décor.
Working on a budget is not a problem, even if you have a hankering for something really nice on the floor. Discount oriental rugs are stunning additions to scatter throughout a large room, or to place in front of a couch or loveseat in smaller rooms. Their intricate patterns, and raised gold braid are reminiscent of the original imports so beloved by our ancestors.
The smallest touches in a room, are also the ones that finish off a particular look or atmosphere that you are trying to create. That’s why such seemingly minor things like floor lamps or flower vases, can be an important part of your whole decor.

Floor Decor
Designs in floor lamps vary, and can be easily matched to your primary colors or style in furniture. If you like relaxing in an armchair with a book, you’ll appreciate the nicely turned spindle-stand Colonial lamp at your elbow. Or if your taste leans to a minimal look, there are modern metal pole lamps with shades in colors to pick up the dominant hue in your furniture fabric or wall color.
Vases are one of those minor details that can add so much to a room’s look. If you have a fireplace, then a pair of matching decorative urns at each end of the mantle, make a very striking addition to the room. If you have a side table that you’d like to add a focal point to, try something like a matching trio of Safari flower vases. Not only are they a lovely display by themselves, but with a bouquet of buds, they can be distributed around the room to decorate other surfaces for special occasions.
If you have chosen a very “plain” (non-patterned furniture, floor and wall color) décor, then you can make your accents unique items like glass top end tables that come on a pillar cast in the shape of a dragon, elephant, cactus or even a lighthouse. The glass is a minimal surface that allows the eye to be drawn to the figure supporting it. This type of table also goes well with metal magazine racks.
Add a dash of luxury and comfort to the room with a padded foot stool in hand-polished wood, or whorls of sculpted metal. It’s the ultimate in comfort for tired feet, and strikes just the right note with the rest of your floor décor! |
