This casual living room is versatile enough to entertain friends and family as well as provide relaxation while reading or watching TV.
With comfort the main focus, furniture is often large, low to the ground, rectangular or slightly curved and horizontal, enhanced with coordinating plush pillows made from natural fibers like cottons and linen. Tables are also large, heavy and provide storage space. Matching pieces are not necessary and symmetrical layouts are avoided. The center of attention is on ease.
Common accessories in casual rooms are pillows, blankets, flowers, plants, magazines, baskets and sweet-scented candles but the selection is endless. Rustic antiques from the flea market can also be integrated. Window coverings include shutters, blinds or shades layered with textured curtains. Familiar neutrals, such as tans, grays, beiges, or off-whites are frequently used, however, any colour scheme can be incorporated.
