We love living rooms

With the wide range of options available for decorating the living room - pillows, slipcovers, throws, picture frames, vases, rugs, media centres, occasional tables and art, to name a few - it's not surprising that Yourhome readers voted it the most enjoyable room to redecorate in last week's poll.

Roughly half of the voters chose their living space as the best to decorate, with bedrooms coming in second with just over 20 per cent of the votes. Bathrooms came in at 13 per cent and kitchens at 11, while study/den and other spaces racked up three per cent of the vote each.

Personally, I'm a big fan of redecorating the living room. It's the part of my house where I spend most of my time when I'm awake and it's also the room where my husband and I entertain - so we put energy into keeping it neat and comfortable and see it as a good place to show off our personal style.

It's also a room where small changes can make a big impact - a cheap slipcover can breathe new life into a boring but serviceable sofa, while switching up framed photos and art provide new places to draw the eye.

This week's poll looks forward to Turkey Day, asking readers about their plans for Thanksgiving decorations -- will you dress up your table, add some fall inspiration or are you already preparing your haunted house? Cast your vote on the bottom left of the front page.
