  • Stick to a theme: While choosing decorative accessories for the living room, make sure that you stick to a particular theme instead of putting together random stuff. It will be helpful if you opt for neutral-coloured accessories with the right pop of colour here and there.
  • Be careful of the sizing: You might have seen that a big lounge chair has a small stamp-sized cushion mounted on top of it. No matter how pretty that cushion is, it won't do much in terms of accessorising. It is of consequence to choose accessories that complement the size and style of your living room furniture. If you wish to have differently-sized accessories, you can place them in layers with bigger accessories. 
  • Experiment with the arrangements: It is always advisable to go for quality over quantity when choosing living room accessories. For instance, you can add big cushions to the sofa first and then throw on some small highlighters. Try to opt for balance while putting together different accessories in your living space instead of focusing too much on symmetry. 
  • Create a vibrant mix of styles: You can look for accessories that have varying lengths, complementing colours and different textures to add an eclectic touch to your living room decor.
