Guide to Decorating Florida Living Rooms
No matter what kind of home you have, your living room makes a lasting impression on all who enter it. We spend a lot of time in this room, either entertaining family and friends,
or just relaxing on our own. The style of your living room expresses your personality and lets your guests know if you are elegant and formal or laid-back and fun-loving.
With Tommy Bahama Furniture, you can be all those things and more.
The living room is a central space in your home, so a little pre-planning will go a long way. Decide if you want a formal space or comfortable space to relax.
Take an inventory of what you have, what you want to move out of the room (or maybe even out of the house), and what you want to add. Take your measurements
and even sketch out a rudimentary floorplan. Use the room planner
to get an idea of the layout you want.
Casual Florida Style with Tommy Bahama Furniture
If your living room has become the place where everyone leaves, well, everything, you’ll need a place to keep all that stuff neatly stowed away. Here in Florida, the style is
comfortable, casual, and cozy. But that doesn’t mean there’s no room for elegant storage.
Organize with a Beautiful Entertainment Center
That’s what makes the Ocean Club Pacifica
Entertainment Console and Two Tradewinds Bookcases from Tommy Bahama Home so perfect. These three pieces give you plenty of storage and place to display collections,
specimen coral, shells, and more. The Bali sun-drenched sienna-colored wood and parson’s legs make the entertainment center a showpiece in its own right.
Create a Casual Vibe with Zen Appeal
If you look around your living room and feel like something is missing, or just not quite right, consider the coffee table. A great way to bring casual elegance into your
living room is to add a coffee table like Island
Fusion Nobu Asian-Inspired Square Cocktail Table from Tommy Bahama. This Pan Asian-inspired coffee table brings balance and a Zen-like vibe into your space A casual family
room has a character of nonchalance, and the beautiful open fretwork on the table draws attention but doesn’t overwhelm the space.

General Guidelines for Stylish Florida Living Rooms
Florida’s casual living rooms have lighter window treatments and supremely comfortable furniture. The style features softer lines, more color, and fewer rules.
Furniture placement and selection are less structured. In homes these days, the living room may even have a computer as well as a TV, so it’s not uncommon to
see a space dedicated to this purpose.
No matter what function your living room serves, the colors, fabrics, furniture, and accessories should reflect you and what you love. Whether lively and colorful,
neutral and serene, or somewhere in between, it should reflect your style.
