Nothing in the world creates as good an impression as your living room. While your kitchen and bedroom are the more private spaces in the house, the living room is something that is common and accessible to anyone. This is why you need a great interior design and decoration idea for this room. The more you focus on the beauty of your room, the better the impression you would be able to create on the visitors. We are sure that you have had a tough time in finding the right kind of décor for your living room. It takes a lot of thought. However, we have a very soft and appealing idea that is inspired from the Georgian and cottage style home design ideas that would certainly prove to be a good option for you. Have a look.

As usual, we would start with the walls of the house. These need to be painted with a very soft shade of green. A light shade of leaf green would be a great choice for the room. Green makes you calm down and would be quite helpful in relaxing your nerves and making you feel really great. Think about the color of a cucumber smoothie. This would give you a good idea of what exactly is needed by you. Don’t go for accents as they would not be helping the room stand out in any way and are largely unnecessary.

However, if your room is designed in such a way that accents would become necessary, just go for a darker hue of green and you would be able to manage the look. Now, we think about the windows and door colors. You can go for a pastel shade of blue or dry a deeper shade of the cucumber green color that you have used on the walls. Team them up with beautiful floral curtains. They should, again, be a different hue of green and must have flowers in contrasting colors like red. You can also add one sheer white curtain along with this.

Now, go for bright sofas. They need to be thickly padded and must be as fluffy as possible. However, this fluffiness must only be maintained in the looks. As such, the sofas should be very firm. The color can be carrot red that comes with floral or feminine designs. Make sure that it instantly catches your attention and provides a soothing contrast to the color of the walls. Add an ottoman with a similar look.

You can also add one fluffy but firm stool near the window to get the right amount of seating necessary in the room. To accentuate a Georgian appearance after you have added the cottage feel, simply add one beautiful warm honey brown serpentine chest that comes with antique looks and you would be finding the perfect combination for yourself. Add a couple of lamps on the top that must also be in deeper shades of green and you would be finding the perfect living room you have been looking for.
