It's another week and we will be taking a look at ways to make our living room breath. Its not just a place to put in chairs and watch TV, it is the face of your home. Where you sit to relax and entertain. Little changes in design, placement of furniture and color of drapes can make all the difference.

Let start with creating a smart living room
You can get inspiration from the pared-down look of a hotel to inspire your living room. The contrast of the dark-wood coffee table and leather armchair blends well with the neutral curtains, wall colour and flooring.

Symmetrical living room
In this traditional living room, matching chairs, lights and soft furnishings have been used to create a symmetrical scheme that draws the eye to the window. The luxurious layered with cushions is framed by two chairs, flanked by a pair of lacquered side tables with identical lamps and glass balls. The rug adds pattern and ties the scheme together. Lovely and calming at the same time.

Pastel living room
You may have turned up your nose at using wallpapers to decorate partitions made of wood but consider a mix blue, and floral wallpaper which results in a soft, gentle living room style. The delicately patterned wallpaper and sofa provides a gentle ease. The blue floral cushion on the sofa complements the room design perfectly.

Cream and brown living room
Accents of orange help break up the brown and neutral palette in a living room, while silk curtains and a velvet-covered sofa soften the masculine feel. Looks yummy right?

French-style living room
Simple, large-scale furniture, set against a palette of white and pale aqua, evokes the casual elegance of southern French houses. Accessories with a modern twist, such as the paper chandelier, add a stylish edge.

Artwork living room
A painting creates a focal point and inspires the colour scheme. Key shades of blue and soft natural tones are picked out to ensure that the sofa, cushions, curtains and walls complement each other. Gilded wall sconces balance the painting and contrast with its simple wooden frame. A footstool and silver rug add texture.

Relaxed classic living room
Use a sofa as the starting point for your living room scheme. The classic style of this piece in a clean fabric sets the tone for an elegant but contemporary look. The palette of soft green and gold creates a relaxing feel that mixes perfectly with neutrals and gives a slightly rustic feel.
