How to Style a Living Room Five Ways

The key to great living room design is to start with a neutral base. That way, as your taste evolves, you can get new looks by simply changing up the styling. Learn how to style a living room five ways in this HGTV video:

Traditional (florals and soft coral accents): Accessorize with understated accents like a stone bust. Use pastels to keep the color palette soft.

Masculine (bold prints and touches of blue): Use only a few large accessories such as a lamp or sculptural piece to make a bold statement. Layer blues in different tones.

Feminine (bright pinks and cozy fabrics): A lot of soft fabrics and curvy accents give a space a more feminine feel.

Neutral (ivory, beige, taupe): Use patterns in varying sizes and textures to keep a neutral look interesting.

Coastal (organic accessories and hints of blue): Accessorize with plenty of natural organic objects. Instead of wicker furniture, add just a touch of the beach with a wicker lamp.
