Due to their incredibly lifelike design, KOO's range of artificial floristry and greenery brings a pop of nature to your living room without the added burden of maintenance. Display a tall artificial plant in the corner of your living room for a lively touch of greenery. Or, if you're looking for a subtle pop of colour, KOO's selection of artificial flowers and stems look exceptional when displayed in an elegant vase on your coffee table or television unit.

Privacy and Light Filtering: The Power of Curtains and Window Dressings

Living rooms are the setting for both gatherings with friends and for relaxing at home by yourself, so of course, privacy is key in your living room decorating. When thinking of how to style your living room, curtains can be used as significant styling checkpoints. Curtains, specifically blockout curtains, are designed to cover your windows while offering light filtering and privacy benefits. Blockout curtains can also be used to reduce the glare sunlight may cause on your television, allowing you to enjoy your favourite movie or TV show without the glare ruining the picture.

While blockout curtains help prevent the glare, sheer curtains help you to create a serene and peaceful sanctuary by allowing light to filter through the fabric for an angelic ambience. KOO offers a wide selection of different types of curtains and styles to complement your living room decor scheme, so you'll be sure to find both the desired light filtering and style aesthetics for your living room.
