There's no right or wrong
Living room decorating is one of the most important decorating jobs you'll do. You and your family will spend a great deal of time there, and when friends and neighbors call, this is usually the place you use to sit and talk.
Of all the rooms we use in our homes, living rooms differ the most from home to home.
Some are simply family rooms, where everyone 'does their own thing'. These rooms are usually quite untidy, but places where people feel relaxed.
Other living rooms have a more formal atmosphere. They are always clean and tidy, and while you can still relax there, it's not somewhere you would go if you're wearing dirty shoes!
Think about the sort of living room you want
Once you've a clear idea in your mind of the sort of living room you would like, you'll find it much easier to decide on the decorating.
You'll probably find yourself spending more time on this room than any other. But that's good. Take your time and get it right. You'll be glad you did.
