Add dimension and interest to any room in your house with the clever use of texture and colour. Brighten up your living room by introducing a vibrant colour trend to the room either on the walls or on larger furniture pieces like leather sofas or corner sofas. If you prefer bold colours in smaller quantities, make an impact with scatter cushions and throw rugs on sofas and recliners and other accessories in an accent colour.

Polished and rugged texture combinations create a stylish and visually interesting living room. The balance of textures is as important as the balance of colours and tones. Combine matt surfaces with metal and glass, rugged organic accessories with smooth, polished elements, soft leather sofas and recliners with hard wood floors or glossy woodwork.

Use accessories to create contrast. Position soft, luxurious cushions in an accent tone on a black leather sofa or recliner chairs. An Oriental rug or Turkish kilim brings softness to hard marble or granite floors.

Play with textures and colours on your walls, windows, accessories, recliners, sofas and corner sofas. Contemporary textured wallpaper can transform your living room. Choose from an extensive collection that includes striking colours, metallic and antique finishes, silk damasks, suede, silk and bamboo. Mismatch tones and textures for added interest. Use a critical eye to make sure you do not overwhelm the room. In most cases, less is more.
