How Do You Style a Living Room for a Premium Look

Styling is the layer that separates a furnished room from a finished one. In a premium looking living room every layer feels in proportion, every surface is composed and the eye travels around the space without catching on details that feel out of place. This guide explains the method behind that effect, starting with the focal point that anchors the room and the role of furniture scale in supporting it. We cover the rule of three for lighting, fabric and surface composition, the way artwork should sit in relation to the sofa and the under appreciated craft of styling a coffee table without crowding it. The role of the rug as the foundation of the seating arrangement is given particular attention, along with the discipline of editing a room down rather than building it up. The advice is shaped around real British proportions, not show home spaces, so it can be applied at home this weekend....
