When choosing a color palette for your room, use no more than three colors.
When decorating, follow the 60-30-10 rule. 60% of the room should be a dominant color, 30% a secondary color, and 10% an accent color.

Try adding plants to your room. You'll be surprised at how much more lively, yet calming; a room can become just by adding a simple plant to the room.
A single plant, properly placed, can really set the mood and bring a room together.

Use mirrors when decorating your home. Mirrors can be very handy, especially if you live in a small space.
A mirror on one or two walls isn't just convenient for fixing your hair on the go. They can also give the illusion of more space.

Make sure that you determine the theme of your living room before you begin the project.

Try an accent wall. If your white walls are driving you crazy, but you're overwhelmed by color choices and are afraid you'll make a mistake, an accent wall could be the answer.
