Moving into a new home is both exciting and somewhat confusing process. When it comes to living room decoration, the question "Where should I start?" often comes to mind first. The living room is a space where you will spend most time as well as being a guest reception area. Therefore, choosing the right sofa set, the right coffee table, the right rug, and the right lighting can make a big difference in terms of both comfort and aesthetics.
In this guide, we'll cover step-by-step living room decoration for new homes and share ways to create a functional and stylish living room.
The piece that determines the main character of the living room is undoubtedly the sofa set. When choosing a sofa in new home decoration, consider the room size, frequency of use, and your overall color palette.
Tip: When buying a sofa set, don't forget to check the measurements of doors, elevators, and stairs in advance — this is one of the most common mistakes made in new homes.
After selecting your sofa set, the next in line is the coffee table. The coffee table is not only for placing books or remotes but is also a critical piece for creating the visual balance of the living room.
Perla Coffee Table is an ideal option for those who want to create a cohesive living room look thanks to its design that matches the Perla sofa set. Its neutral and chic lines, which can also be combined with different sofa sets, easily find a place in small or large living rooms.
Practical advice: When choosing a coffee table, opt for a model that is compatible with the sofa height; ideally, the table height should be close to or a bit lower than the sofa seating height.
The rug is often overlooked in living room decoration but it is actually the piece that "completes" the space. The correct size and color choice visually link your sofa set and coffee table.
Beige Plain Rug 200x290 cm provides perfect harmony with both Savia and Perla sofa sets thanks to its neutral beige tone. The size of 200x290 cm is ideal for medium and large living rooms; having the front legs of the sofa on the rug adds depth and a sense of order to the living room.
The general rule when selecting a living room rug is that it should cover the coffee table in front of the sofa set and at least the front legs of the sofas. Small rugs can make the space look more cluttered.
Besides daylight, the most important element determining the atmosphere of your living room in the evening hours is lighting. Instead of sticking to a single ceiling light, using layered lighting makes the living room much warmer and more comfortable.
Lidya Floor Lamp, when positioned next to or in the corner of the sofa set, creates a reading corner and provides a soft light atmosphere in the evenings. Floor lamps stand out as a functional and decorative solution in new home decoration.
Tip: Position the floor lamp behind or beside the sofa, so that the light does not come directly into the eyes.
Once the furniture and rug are placed, the details that give the living room a "home" feel are the decorative accessories. Large decorative vases and jars, when used on the coffee table or in corners, add character to the living room.
Soffice Krem Terracotta Jar Large offers perfect color harmony with beige rugs and velvet sofa sets with its earth-toned texture. It can be placed on a table or on the floor to add a warm bohemian touch to the living room.
What piece should I start with when decorating a new living room? It's generally best to start with the largest and longest-lasting piece, the sofa set; this way, all other selections (rug, coffee table, accessories) can be shaped around this piece.
What size should the living room rug be? It varies depending on the room size; measurements like 200x290 cm for medium and large living rooms can be chosen to cover the sofa set and coffee table.
How many different light sources should be in the living room? Ideally, at least two different light sources: ceiling lighting and a point lighting source like a floor lamp or table lamp.
