In this article I shall share a few ideas and styles to impart a makeover to your living room decor. Are you in love with the Mediterranean feel? Do you like the gentle rolling hills, green sun drenched valleys, balmy breezes in the evening and the sunny meadows of central and southern Italy that has a distinct romantic Mediterranean tone? If yes, then the Tuscan look of central and southern Italy is just right for your living room.

To recreate a reasonable facsimile of Tuscany or your own little piece of Italy in your own living room, make use of tiles – terracotta tiles or ceramic tiles that are broken or mismatched, on the walls or on the floors or on table tops or in coasters or to pave the window sills. Create wrought iron arch ways or grottos or rustic wall art with wrought iron accessories and gates in intricate designs of the vintage sixties.

Hang lacy or cottony curtains in the windows to let in abundant sunlight and breeze in your living room. The living room decor will be spiced up if you can hang window boxes from your windows or on the living room wall. Why don’t you grow colorful geranium blossoms in those window boxes? They will make the living room come alive with life. It would look better if the living room windows look out on to a well decorated Tuscan patio sporting a Tuscan fountain.
Warm earth tones or brick reds or pale stucco or muted yellows are the ideal colors for the living room walls.

An arch or two built into the walls, Mediterranean designed colorful urns or ceramic vases, wooden furniture, copper baskets or copper pots, intricately designed wooden or wrought iron candle holders are other decor items that help to authenticate the Tuscan living room look. A Tuscan living room wall décor can never be complete without Tuscan wall art or wall hanging or wall tapestry depicting the scenic beauty of Tuscany and its valleys. Bring in a few innovative old world touches.
