This drives a cohesive flow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose an accent color<\/strong>. Be colorful, but again, consider cohesiveness and balance. A good tip is picking a neutral base and one accent color. When you\u2019re choosing d\u00e9cor pieces like lampshades, side tables and ottomans, find a color in one item and match it. For example, choose the olive green in the mid-century couch you have to spread throughout the living room.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bridge furniture styles together.<\/strong> To avoid randomness, choose furniture pieces that have similar scale and symmetry. For example, buy accent chairs that share colors or textures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u2026speaking of textures, mix it up!<\/strong> Find and layer different textures in your selection of rugs, pillows and throws while keeping complementary colors in mind.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t overdo it. <\/strong>You might have the urge to find more, buy more and decorate more \u2014 don\u2019t. This is one of the easiest ways to turn your eclectic living room into chaos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Home decorating is an extension of you. You put a lot of thought behind each sofa, throw pillow and lamp \u2014 everything that curates your eclectic living room. Buying something that you find joy in creates the space you always wanted to have and entertain in.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find Your Home Decorating Style at Stowers Furniture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is a diverse selection of high-quality furniture in our 80,000 square foot showroom.
