You Are What Your Living Room Shows

They say first impression lasts but there's more to it than meets the eye. After all, the other things that you do would still count, including the place you go to at the end of your work day.

What your living room looks like may say something about you. The way you orchestrate your living room reflects your taste, mood, and perhaps, your principles in life.

Here are few living room designs that speak who you are:

A living room with a vintage ambiance

Not everybody appreciates classics but if you do, you surely have the "save the memories" mantra and can relate to the oldies who love Elvis Presley. Good Housekeeping suggests that antique wooden beams can be a welcome contrast to any modern furniture you have. You may place your old piano, old pictures, or old paintings and other antique stuff in your living room to uphold the vintage ambiance in that significant space of your house. Having a rustic material in it will add more "retro effect" in your living room.

A living room with neutral colors

Displaying materials that are neutral in color speaks simplicity instead of boring. Neutral shades may also give a "classic effect" into the space. Realtor points out that neutrals are good for variances of seasonal trends. Earth colors like brown, black, gray, among others can be accentuated by other colors. Neutral colors are safe colors in case you want to do mix and match. It also portrays practicality and humility. 

A living room surrounded by anything green

You are a green thumb if you do have plants in every corner of your living room. It goes without saying that you a nature lover yourself. You love anything natural and take care of plants provided that you water them every day. Jamie Wiebe, a writer for Home Improvement adds that with plants in your space shows that you are a balanced person and your personality is stable.

A living room with light colors

Using light colors to give accent to your living room shows boldness and pride. While bright colors are a bit of risky because they won't hide any stains easily, you are still confident to have them around because you are not afraid to be criticized. Good Housekeeping relates that if you want to inject personality into your living space, you can use energetic hues brought about by light pastel colors such as pink, sky blue, and orange.

You are what your living room looks like, so it's better to choose the design wisely or hire an interior design expert to do it justice.
