Decide your style and budget. There are many design styles available, not just the 5 collected below, so decide on which ones you're interested in. Keep in mind that they all have their own flair and expense - for example modern design is sparser than traditional or ornate designs. If you don't have much money to spend on furnishings, read a few articles about inexpensive decorating ideas before deciding on your vision - there's a lot of great inspiration out there!

Once you have selected furniture for your space, the remainder of the decorating process is fairly simple.
Items to include in a living room:
-Carpets -Rugs -Decorative pillows
-Sofas -Beds
-Nightstands
Groups of items are typically selected that set moods or evoke memories. Creating clusters of like objects offers an uncluttered and more visually interesting scheme. Groupings can be limited by size, texture or color to create zones within your home—sharing tasks and distinct purposes. Clusters offer a great opportunity to mix patterns and textures and afford decoration with depth without becoming over decorated.

Choosing furniture for any space, big or small is all about your personal preference. It's fun to search the internet and find cool stuff you like that you didn't know existed before. It's even more fun, though, to visit a store or showroom and go on a design adventure together! First question I always ask myself when trying out new pieces is "What would this do in the room? Is it too big?" I typically gravitate toward round couches or ottomans instead of large rectangular ones because they take up less space.
Ideally once you've visited a showroom show someone there what size room you're designing for so they can help guide your selection process, while showing off their excellent inventory.

Think about what you're trying to achieve. Do you want a cozier feel with lots of textures and patterns, or are you going for a formal look? If it's the latter, clean lines will likely be your best bet. For cozy spaces, rugs and throws play well into that mood. Put as many colors on the walls as possible- this will let your furniture "blend in" as your eye is drawn up to other focal points in the room - so long as they have some texture such as wood grain or fibers! I would recommend getting one solid piece of each color of sofa pillows (let's say blue, yellow). If you have a lot of available space then buy two identical sofas and armchairs.

The two most important qualities to keep in mind when buying furniture are form and function. For example, before you buy a couch it is crucial that you make sure the length of the sofa will match up with your living room dimensions. You don’t want to be stuck with a huge, ugly looking piece of furniture taking up all of your space just because it boasted an attractive shape- matching form and function should ultimately determine which pieces become part of our personal home decor.
Quality must also be taken into consideration when purchasing furniture because low quality furniture can fall apart quickly or even pose health hazard risks such as lead paint or toxic glue being used in their manufacture.

Choosing the right furniture for a space is a big decision, but it all starts with first understanding your personal style and tastes. What do you like to spend your time on? What are your hobbies? How would you describe your personal style - traditional, industrial chic, modern minimalist? All of these questions will help determine the style of furniture that is best for you. Think about what type of activities take place in this room; if kids and pets are around, soft cushions are probably an essential part of the seating arrangement. If money's no object or there's a lot of storage space available in this room, then go ahead and invest in really high-end pieces to add luxury and drama to the space.
