For people living in shared houses, the living room often gets neglected. You spend so long making your individual bedrooms look nice, why would you want to spend extra money doing up a shared space for other people's benefit?

The day a person finally gets a living room of their very own, then, is an incredibly important day – finally a communal space that you can decorate with your own stuff without fear of it being damaged, or nicked. Finally you've got a place to fully relax that doesn't involve lying in bed watching Netflix on your laptop. And as for decorating it, well, that's the fun part.

Ahead, we've picked out a few of our favourite living room bits to help get you started. Click through to see.
