Trend-Led Decor Ideas to Upgrade Your Living Room
Searching for the right way to add more style, joy and comfort to your living room? These trends are all you need to inspire a restful retreat, no matter your style
By: Charlotte OlbyShould you be about to embark on a front room revamp, make these trend-led living room decor ideas your first port of call. From lounging to hosting, the living room is one of the most important spaces in your home and is, thankfully, by far the easiest to update in an instant without requiring a full remodel. All it may take is a statement piece of furniture, a curated selection of cushions and a dash of Liberty print. Whichever of these trending home decor trends resonate with you most, they all pave the way to creating a space you truly feel proud of.
Quiet Luxury
Quiet Luxury is, simply put, a design movement dedicated to swaddling your space in resilient artisanal pieces that will stand the test of time. Consider texture as the most important factor to creating the ultimate relaxing den, including materials like wood, marble, cashmere, velvet and wool to add depth to your scheme. These pared-back investment pieces, like a The Tartan Blanket Co. Cashmere Throw, only sing when you look closer and let the craftsmanship reveal its true power. Every detail counts.

Stripe on Stripe
Look to transition your living room decor by injecting stripes at every turn - from your candlesticks to cushions - and streamline with cosy neutrals. Whether hosting slumber parties or late-night charades, your coffee table can moonlight as a dinner table, games board or at-home bar so ensure it has the treatment it deserves with mood-setting candleholders and a playful set of coasters (as a polite reminder of where guests should stow their glasses).

Cottagecore
To really nail the homegrown, countryside feel in your living room, invite Cottagecore to stay. Harness the charm of an idyllic country cottage with your textiles, and layer in playful accessories. Encourage romanticising your life even further with floral candles lit by your favourite reading chair, and push your lighting to its floral extent by embellishing with Dar Leone's Ronko Lampshade. For the final touch, might we suggest creating your own puff quilt to add charm to an old sofa?

Colour Drenching
Colour Drenching is the art of taking one colour and quite literally drenching everything in your room - from your walls to your woodwork - in that colour. And if you’re truly committed, you can take the colour (or various tints and shades of it) through to your soft furnishings and décor to create a monochromatic interior scheme. Transform with instant impact by adding wallpaper in the same palette and dial up your sofa styling with a host of cushions. There's only one rule: remember to separate areas of pattern so that the room doesn’t feel so busy.
