3 things that make your living room look neat

Your living room is tidy, but somehow it doesn't look really neat? We'll tell you three simple tips with which visual calm returns.

Much of life takes place in the living room. Here you make yourself comfortable, receive friends and come to rest after a long day. But if the living room is messy, switching off rarely works.

It is often a "too much" of things that make the living room look chaotic. Furniture professionals therefore rely on three simple rules in the living room to create a quiet look.

1. A uniform color concept

On Instagram you can see flawless living room in beige or white tones almost everywhere. The principle behind it: Many different colors make a room look restless, while few coordinated colors cause visual calm.

If the Instagram look is in the truest sense of the word too monotonous, you can also modify this basic principle. Because everything does not always have to be kept in simple tones so that a room tidy and "round".

It can also be strong colors, provided that they can be found in several places in the room. For example, you can paint a wall in your accent color and take it up in pictures, textiles or furniture. For a good look, however, you should commit yourself to 1-2 strong colors.

2. Less is more

Decoration should give the living room a personal touch and ensure more atmosphere. But there is also too much of a good thing. Small decorative people in particular quickly look messy when they are distributed anywhere in the room.

Instead, you can use less, but to do greater decoration as an eye -catcher. If you place them strategically, you can steer the eye on corners in the room that you want to focus on and automatically draw the attention of messy corners.

Ideas for large decoration are, for example, pictures (or entire gallery walls-but better not become too small here), sculptures and vases or special lamps.
