The lounge is one of the most-used rooms in your home, which is why successful living spaces “combine form with function”, says The Block NZ co-host Shelley Ferguson.
Using Shelley’s 11 ways to love your living room we take a peek at some of the most stylish living areas on realestate.co.nz this month. Will you be inspired to makeover your lounge in 2017?
A stunning couch, like this one in Remuera, is a great way to add character to your living room.
Bring nature inside to add freshness and colour to your home. Consider fresh flowers, potted plants or low-maintenance succulents.
Don’t be afraid of colour. Test the waters by introducing small touches like a bright rug, lamp or cushions.
If you prefer a monochrome colour palette, choose rugs, throws and artwork that add texture to the room, like this property in Kingsland.
Statement lighting is both functional and stylish. Consider pendant lighting or a floor lamp, like this property in Tamahere.
