Easily Decorate a Gorgeous Southern Style Living Room

This gorgeous Southern living room painted in a sky blue color with cream moldings just screams “Welcome Home!” I love how Southern style is all about creating a livable and comfortable atmosphere.

Most of the time Southern style homes have historical influences through furniture, architecture, crown moldings and beautiful artwork. Since this decorating style originated from a hot geographical area, most homes have porches for shade, high ceilings, exterior shutters, and many tall windows and French doors for cross ventilation.

To get a Southern style at home, follow these tips:

• Buy a large oriental rug
• Have lots of chairs, matching lamps and side tables
• Pull your color scheme from nature, decorating with warm and welcoming colors
• Put up art work and photographs that have meaning and are personal to you and your family
• Put up a large mirror to reflect as much natural light as possible
• Have fun with your decorating, not everything has be matching
• Stay away from anything electric and too modern
