Living room serves multiple purposes and one of them is being the central gathering place, whenever spending time with your family, friends or perhaps some guests who are visiting. Some said that the kitchen is the heart of a home but nowadays, some people think the living room has replaced the kitchen as the heart of a home instead. Why so? It is a place people often see first when they enter a house and mostly spend time in, it’s usually decorated by things the owner loves the most and reflects the ‘personality’ of its owner through its interior design.
There’s countless ways to show off your ‘personality’ and bring a boring living room to life! Here is some of our tips to brighten up your living room by using some room decorations :

2. Enlarge the room with mirrors
Mirrors are not just a great way to check your appearance, but it can be used creatively in order to direct light around your space and avoid having any dark or gloomy corners. On top of that, you can use the reflection of the mirror to make the room appear larger. Mirrors open up a room by creating the illusion of extra space and add a nice shape to your walls while they’re at it.
