When styling a living area the aim is to create a pleasing and inviting living space with personality and comfort, pleasing to the eye of the home buyer. Use a rug to define the living area, especially in an open-plan setting. Use "raised" furniture; i.e. furniture on legs. This allows natural light to flow freely and visually creates a feeling of spaciousness. Preferably use low back, low armrest sofas in neutral colours. Embellish with coffee table, side tables, lamps, decorative cushions, accessories and throws. Use a variety of textures and choose one "pop" colour which in this case was black. * Master the art of living area styling when selling (or decorating) your home with our Home Improvement Training online courses > https://homeimprovementtraining.com ** Dining room styling furniture and accessories are available for rent from our Sydney Furniture Hire warehouse > https://sydneyfurniturehire.com/ artwork, 2 seater beige sofa, armchair, coffee table, side table, decorative cushions, rug, artificial plant, accessories, coffee table books.
