A casual decorating style is driven mostly by a more casual attitude about arranging furniture and furnishings when compared to the other decorating styles.
With casual decorating, the number one goal is to create a comfortable space that invites everyone to take off their shoes and stay a while. However, this is not to say that your décor should invite clutter or break every decorating rule in the book. The casual sunroom below invites you to hang out for a while, read a newspaper, and enjoy a nice beverage while taking in the view.
The list below is designed to help jumpstart your thinking for casual decorating ideas. In this way, you will know which type of furniture and furnishing will work best together and help you achieve the look you want. This list is by no means all inclusive.
