Family room is a space where you can gather with your family in daily life – days. Gail Drury family room from the beginning contains a very traditional space. High storage cabinet flanked by large flat panel TV above the frame to create an accent wall. Some interesting paintings can really bring a wave of deftness to your room. Acting as a style to your room. The Windows, shutters and furniture all add to the beauty of a cozy contemporary living room. (via: drurydesigns.com )

“We designed the family room to look like an addition to the ‘old’ house, with a peaked ceiling framed in antique beams,” says Victoria. “It’s our favorite part of the house.” Unadorned windows welcome in light and views of the surrounding fields. Sea-grass matting, a linen-slipcovered sofa, and a coffee table of Victoria’s own design have stood the test of toddlers and time. (via: countryliving.com)

Whitewashed floorboards will instantly brighten a space; buy yours with this look, or give old boards a makeover with emulsion paint, brushed on lightly and wiped off, and clear varnish. White brushed pine planks, Quick-Step

If you’re sticking faithfully to an all white scheme, how do you decorate the walls? The answer is to frame black and white photos or prints in white frames. Grouping the frames makes a focal point. Room by The White Company

There are practical considerations when furnishing with white. Always, always get removeable furniture covers that can be machine washed. That way, your room will always be crisp – easily. Parchment Flowers collection, Sanderson

Even a plain room can be given bags of character with wall panelling – which you can buy in kits from DIY stores (or just use tongue and groove planks, fixed to battens). Painted white, or off white, completes it. Blinds by Hillarys

Redecorating your home can be a very exciting time. Placement of living room furniture sofas and other home interior accessories and furnishings in the right way is very crucial. If you do this right you can make quite an impact on people.

•Evidently a tremendous shift this year is in the pillows and sofas used. Rather of displaying neutral sofas with more bright coloured throw pillows the exact opposite seems to be more appropriate today. This is not an absolute rule but if you are obsessed about not being behind the times this may be the best advice that you can follow this year.

: Blue and white stripes give the ocean blue decorating theme that extra spark of freshness and breezy feel.

I always make sure that, when I paint my ceiling, I use a light shade of the room’s main color on my ceiling so, if my color scheme was blue, I would use the lightest eggshell blue I could find for my ceiling and then a slightly deeper shade of blue for my walls.

: In his living room, interior designer Steven Gambrel used a 3-inch dark blue border to make the ceiling appear higher — a modern spin on crown molding. Walls are Winter Sky #14-4307 TPX; border is Niagara #17-4123 TPX, both by Pantone Paints. Photo by Francesco Lagnese, Domino, Aug. 2007.

If you have mouldings you could paint those completely white, or go for a darker shade of blue to both the walls and the ceiling. I would use matt paint on my walls and a paint with some kind of sheen on the mouldings.

For windows, to add height, place the curtain pole as high as possible near to the ceiling. This will give your curtains plenty of drop to achieve an elegant drape.

You would think, wouldn’t you, that a large picture placed on the wall in a small room would be overpowering. Surprisingly, it isn’t.(via)

If two or more colors appeal to you, you can combine them to make a harmonious or a contrast scheme. Shortlist the items and spread them on a big piece of paper. They will be an invaluable tool for deciding colors to paint your living room.

Remember that color changes significantly depending on the light in the room. So before picking a color, it is always advisable to view the color in the room where it has to be applied.

Red and white Living Room

Gather color swatches, photos (which have colors you like), pages from magazines and any odds and ends that appeal you. You can even collect objects like pebbles, sea shells, flowers and fruits – this will help you visualize the colors schemes that appeal you. (via)

If I was choosing a color scheme for my living room I would go to the cooler colors on my color wheel chart – the blues and greens which can be used in different shades to achieve a ‘joined-up’ look of cool elegance. I always make sure that, when I paint my ceiling, I use a light shade of the room’s main color on my ceiling so, if my color scheme was blue, I would use the lightest eggshell blue I could find for my ceiling and then a slightly deeper shade of blue for my walls. If you have mouldings you could paint those completely white, or go for a darker shade of blue to both the walls and the ceiling. I would use matt paint on my walls and a paint with some kind of sheen on the mouldings.
