4 A reading corner is always a great addition to any living room, for which you need nothing more than a small table complemented by a loveseat in any corner.
5 Choosing appropriate colours is also of utmost importance. Serving as a place to unwind and relax, you should not choose too dark and gloomy shades to paint this room. Similarly, you also need to avoid too bright and shocking colours. Keep the ambiance balanced and relaxing.
