A colorful display is something I’ll always love because makes your space look very bright and beautiful. Color combinations is one of the best things and you’ll love them if you’re the type that likes your space in a very colorful way. This is probably the best design and you’ll love it.
Plants are one of the best things when it comes to decorating. If you’re not used to using plants then you’re missing out on a lot because it’s one of the best things ever. To achieve this, every items should have its own unique color. You should only mix colors that blend with each other for the perfect look.

L-shaped sofa are best for people who don’t have enough space, I’ve always utilized them when I’m decorating a small space and they always turnout great. If you’ve got big windows then you’ll love how bright your space will look, natural lights are literally the best.
Mixing different colored pillows is a great way to make your space look very colorful. Center carpets are great especially if you use a good color. I’ll always recommend a beige color for the carpet as it’s bright and very similar to brown which other items would be painted in.

If you like a deep vintage approach then you’ll need to pay attention to this. I love farmhouse and vintage decor styles, literally anything with the classy old look. Combining your farmhouse or vintage items with modern items would give you the most artistic look.
A vintage chandelier should be priority as they carry the best and most stylish look possible. A center rug should also be considered and let it have similar color with some other items for a unique look. Place small plant pots around as plants are very important.

I’ve done a lot of decorations but the colorful ones always stand out. There’s something about making your designs look colorful and you’ll know when you see a colorful and beautiful design. This design can be achieved with or without a big space, you just have to make your furnitures smaller.
Green is one of those colors you need to use if you want a nice vintage look. As always, bright center rugs are perfect and they’ll help achieve a very bright look. Wall arts should never be ignored as they have one of the best artistic qualities you’ll ever find.

If you remember the first design, you’ll notice that it has a lot of similarities with this one, they’re both colorful and beautiful. A colorful setting is something I might try maybe one or twice but I don’t think it’ll be my go-to design type because I like plain designs more.
Wall arts should be your priority and I mean it, if you don’t have a plan for wall art then you’ll need to start making plans for them because they make your space look very classy. If you’ve got a big window then you wouldn’t have to worry about the perfect lighting arrangement.

Setting up a book shelf might be one of the most vintage setting ever. The book arrangement on its own has a lot of colors and you’ll definitely love them. A bookshelf like this has always been on my bucket list but i haven’t found time to achieve it.
I love a unique setting and this is a very good way to maintain a unique setting while branching out. If you look closely, the main furnitures are in white color which brings a unique look, adding other colors items brings some diversity while still maintaining that all-white look.
7
A bohemian style is something I never miss out on and rightly so because they’re next level gorgeous. If you’ve never tried a bohemian style before then you’re missing out on the most colorful design you’ll ever try and you’ll thank me later if you consider a bohemian style.
If you love plants then you’re in for the best adventure. I like plants but smaller ones, you should place your plants in conners and they can come in any sizes as it’s due to your preference. Utilize wall arts that have similar colors for a unique look.

I’ve decorated so many living rooms with small spaces so I know exactly how to place my items. You’ll need to make every space useful when you’re working with a small space like this one. All your items should be well arranged and you’ll need to utilize unique furnitures.
Wall arts are a must if you want to get the best artistic look and I highly recommend them. This design looks detailed and you’ll love them if you like neat designs. Woden benches or tables are very important for the theme.
10
Lighting is one of the best features when it comes to decorating because they make your space look beautiful. Lighting should be the first thing on your mind because it determines how your space will look. A bright setting is something you’ll definitely want to try because it makes your space look vibrant.
Not many people would place lamps beside their couches as most people do than in bedrooms, one thing I love about being creative is that you get to do whatever you want. When it comes to creating, there’s no blue print, just do whatever you want.
11
A minimalist style is one of my best because I love a very simple design. I like to place items in my space but I like to do them in a very specific way. I like having a space with fewer items, this makes it look neat and beautiful. If you’re a fan of minimalist style then this is definitely for you.
This might be the best design I’ve seen for a living room with small space, it looks bright and artistic. The wall arts are big and have similar colors with the wall and center rug. You’ve got plants with vases that have the same color as your furnitures.
12
When I plan for my decoration, the first thing I think of is the color of my items and how they’ll fit in the space I have. This is a white setting with some color mixtures here and there but the main color here is white and that’s how to do it. Have a main color while other items can have different colors.
If you’ve got smaller items like baskets, plant pots, candles and wall art, make a plank on the wall to place those items, I’ll prefer two planks though. You can try branching out if you’re not comfortable with a bright white color, colors like beige and light grey are also very bright.
13
I saw a design and I thought it might be the best minimalist design here, but this is a whole different look from what I saw previously. This has less color mixtures, just the usual black and white and some other colors here and there. This is perfect for people who do not like colorful designs.
Wall arts, plant pots and center rugs are items you should overlook because they contribute greatly to any type of decoration. Setup a small shelf so you can place your smaller items there. If you’ve got big windows then you might not have to worry too much about lighting.

In the past two or three years, the idea of using couches with different colors has been very popular. One color on one side and a different color on the other side. Some people would make a couch on one side and a wooden chair on the other side, this is a style I’ve adapted and done a lot of times.
Wicker baskets are probably my best when it comes to vintage items, believe it or not wicker baskets have been around for a very long time and people are still using them till date. Wicker baskets are not just for decoration, they’re also baskets as the name implies and you can place your items there.
15
Having a design with many colors doesn’t mean it’s tacky, this is something I’ve heard a lot of people say and that’s very false. Opting for a colorful design is a very unique and beautiful approach and you’ll love them if you like colorful furnitures.
I’ve seen more people use books for decoration recently and I must say, it’s a very god idea. Books have different covers which carries different colors so imagine stacking books with different colors together, you get the most beautiful look.
16
A small space should never be an excuse when you’re decorating, I’ve seen people with very small spaces pull off the most beautiful designs. I like decorating small spaces because it’s an excuse to go for a minimalist style which is by far my best.
You can never get enough when it comes to plants and this is the perfect example. You can place a much plant as you want and your design would still come out perfect. I’ve seen people turn their spaces to gardens with many plants and it looks wonderful.

Utilizing wall art is one thing you should try if you like artistic styles. I always make sure to arrange my wall arts and this is the perfect way to do it. Opt for couches of different types and you’ll thank me later. This idea offer a more diverse look which you need for this design.
When placing your plant pots, ensure to place them in nice corners where there enough sunlight. It’s a great idea to use plant pots that have the same colors as your items, this makes your design look unique and beautiful.

Arrange wooden planks on the wall so you can place small items on them. You’ll always have small items and instead of placing it on your table sit hair, place them in this planks, you can also place your wall arts or your plant pots too.
Center rug is one item I’ll always rate highly and if you’re familiar with home decorations, you’ll know how important they are. A bright rug is my best option but I like beige color because it’s easier to maintain.
19
A moody setting is something that took me a lot of time to understand but one I did, I never looked back. If you like a moody vibe then you’re definitely going to love this setting, this is a nice aesthetic and I love it, the mid century style is perfect ad the moody vibe makes it unique.
Plants is the new wall art as most people are now hanging their plants on the wall as opposed to placing them in tables or corners. This wall idea is something you’ll not find anywhere, if you’re looking for something beautiful but scarce then you’re looking at the best idea.
20
Most people like to go with the norm while others would prefer to invent something different and unique. I highly rate people who make their own design style, these people do their things differently and if you want to get on that boat then this is for you.
It’s not ideal to place some of these items in the living room because they’re mostly seen in gardens but who says you can’t place them here? As always, place your plant pots on your side table or the corner of your wall if they’re big.
21
People are now taking wall art seriously and rightly so. I love a good wall art arrangement, it’s something I never miss out on. Arrange your wall art on your wall in a very organize way. This particular design is all about how well the wall arts are placed.
Plant pots are perfect for specially when you placed them in the right places. I’d prefer a center rug with a beige and brown color as seen here and you’ll love it too once you give it a try. You don’t need a perfect light arrangement if you’ve got a big window.
22
A dark aesthetic vibe is something I just love and will always look forward to any design with dark aesthetics. This is a the definition of a cozy space, forget about the furnitures for a minute and just look at the mood of the space, this is a must-try for all.
This is a style you’ll get compliments for every time you invite someone over to your place. This is the perfect way to blend different colors, this might just be my best in this list because it carried everything I love in a design.
23
You’d be surprised how far people go to achieve the perfect look and I support it. This is a mixture of literally every style, from farmhouse to bohemian and even a nice vintage look. This is for those who love these designs but cannot pick a particular one, you’ll get all in one place.
I love the idea of making your chair share the same color with the plant, it makes it look very unique. This is definitely not for people who like simple decorations, this is mixed with lovely colors and you’ll definitely love them if you’re a fan of a colorful setting.
24
If you don’t want to place different wall art everywhere then you should opt for a very big one like this. This wall art cover a large part of the wall, making your art look bold and beautiful.
I love a good center rug and I never miss a chance to try them out. Get a brown rug that has very similar colors with your plants or any other item, just be sure that your center rug has a similar color to one of your items.
25
One important thing about this theme is that everything should to be colorful. Most people will opt for items with less colors but the colors should still be there because you want something that looks beautiful and vibrant.
Light arrangement is something that if done correctly, you’ll get the most beautiful look possible. A good light arrangement gives a lovely hue and you’ll definitely want that for your space.
