60 Best Living Room Décor Ideas To Get You Inspired

When it comes to creating an inspiring and comfortable atmosphere in your living room, there are a few décor areas you want to look at. According to Canva, color can affect our mood and even our behaviors. So, picking colors that speak to you and give you inviting and relaxing feelings is important for a living room setting. However, these colors can vary from person to person. 

Color can be used in your furniture, your walls, and even your smaller decorations. However, color isn't all you want to consider when you're creating a living room that will inspire you to create and spend time in it — you also want to look at how comfortable your furniture is, the quality of throw pillows and blankets you're choosing, how appealing your décor is, and more. Bring in live plants if you have a green thumb; cover the walls in art if you're a connoisseur of creativity. Make the room feel like the most welcoming space in your home, and let these images inspire you to find the living room décor ideas that are right for you.
