Be it neutrals or bright and flamboyant colours, what your upholstery and furniture truly need is a dozen cushions of varying colours and designs. To quote ace architect and interior designer Kunal Barve, '' Create seating arrangements that are conducive to conversations, often living rooms are set up in such a formal way that it makes it very difficult to have a comfortable conversation. For spacious living rooms, I would encourage creating multiple seating groups rather than one large one.''

Lighting plays a very important role in the living room as well. Lighting that is soft encourages conversation and in a relaxed environment. Sumptuous and intricate, let your living area come alive in the illumination of a luminous chandelier. Chandeliers bring a bedazzled and rich look with their illuminated and sparkling finish. For a more traditional chandelier, go for candle holders with metallic designs. These luscious and appealing pieces of glass and metal, create an indelible impact on the beholder. More than a fix for your room, the chandeliers take up a part of your elevated ceiling that is anything more than noticeable. Interior designer Vaishnavipratima says, ''The traditional lounging set up in a living room modernizes the classical design allowing this traditional element to fit right at home with modern and classical interiors.'' Perfect living room beauty hack if you ask us! "Besides chandeliers, add floor lamps, table lamps, hanging lights, wall lights to your general lighting," says Barve.

4. Accessories take the spotlight

Apart from chandeliers, the use of a decorative hanging installation is the light fixture for a contemporary living room. Modern and stylish, light fixtures take the cake as the beauty enhancing element of the house. Whether you opt for a contemporary one or a conventional light exuding one, the light fixtures in your living area become the centrepiece and the central focus point of the room. Its usually easy to re-decorate the living area–you can give it a fashionable revamp with just a few accessories. From charming curios to modern shelves, accessories are an infallible choice for any room.

Let your accessories gain you adulation with ease. You can even redecorate your shoe rack with decorative lamps, brass accents and whatnot.

5. Art and the artist

Wall art offers a wide range of chic designs and textures to work the magic on your walls. From colours to textures, every element speaks volumes of sophistication and resplendence. Let your walls exude an inviting ambience with wall art. One of Mumbai’s leading architects Kunal Barve explains the statement that wall art creates, "Invest in artistic wall art and wall hangings that add a hint of colour and element of design to your bare walls.’’ Since time and tide wait for no one, consider getting your home a new clock that stands as a decor piece of its own. Classic and old school timepieces are more likely to give your room a long-established look that speaks to broad spectatorship. Vintage looks are breathtaking on neutral walls that call for a new style!

Kunal Barve suggests, ''Combine vintage with new, there is something about adding vintage to the space that makes it feel more welcoming and warm to your guests. Whether it is in form of art, accessories, sculptures or textiles, a bit of vintage goes a long way.''
