First things first, put in huge French doors to let light stream in and give your living area a sense of space. Go for glossy wooden floors and put in a coir rug in the area where you plan to set up your sofas. Go for a 3-seater fabric sofa and add in a single sofa on the side.  An elegant round coffee table would complete the look. A mirror on the wall behind the 3-seater can accentuate brightness in the room and give a feeling of spaciousness.

If you have a really long and narrow living room, you can create two separate seating areas instead of one. For one seating area, choose a sofa set made from vibrant colored fabric.  It would be a good idea to paint the wall where you place this set in a vivid shade too. Add in a stylish coffee table. Decorate the second seating area with an elegant leather couch that can seat 2. Separate the two areas with a classic coir rug. Add some elegance in the form of cube wall shelves and long side table made from dark wood. Recessed lighting in the roof and a chic roof light can complete the look. A few pieces of art on the wall can give the whole room a cozy appeal.

In case, you want to decorate your living room in contemporary style, pick a 3-seater couch and add some nice throw cushions. Place an elegant rosewood dresser next to this and decorate it with a stylish table lamp. Pick a sleek TV console and place this opposite to the couch. Add more seating space with a modern chair on the side. Go for sheer curtains for the room. Cover the wooden flooring with a colorful rug. Paint all the walls in white and pick a brighter shade for the wall behind the couch. Stack up your books using vertical bookshelves and place these in the far corner of the living room.

Wondering how to do up the living cum dining room area in your country home? Well, giving it a rustic yet cozy look would be a great idea. Go for a sectional sofa in white fabric and add in a patchwork quilt to bring in some colors. Instead of a coffee table, go for an ancient looking chest that would help in creating a homely feeling.

If you have been thinking of giving your living area a chic and trendy look, it would be a great idea to pick a two-seater couch and colorful fabric chairs. Go for a compact rectangular fabric ottoman to complete the look. Add in a few modern table lamps in white and put in blinds on the windows. A small TV console in wood and a wooden long table on the side would give a cozy and comfortable feeling to the whole room.

Depending on you plan to use your living room space, try to divide your room into separate areas. Two separate seating spaces with sofas back to back cannot make as much sense for you as one seating room and a huge game table. Try to add slimmer accessories like rectangular TV console, area rug and slimmer furniture.

Narrow living rooms should be decorated using sleek furniture as these would help in creating a feeling of space within the room. Choosing light colors for the walls is also a good idea. However, if you want to go for darker shades confine these to just one wall and paint the others in lighter shades. Sheer curtains and glass doors and windows will also make the room look bigger.
