Bring new life into your living room without spending a lot of cash or effort. Take a focused approach to provide a quick weekend overhaul to your space.
Spruce up the Walls
Choose a gallon of paint and splash on the color. Go for a dark and bold warmth or brighten your room with a lighter, energetic hue. If painting is not your thing, then opt for wallpaper with a punch – a geometric design or bold floral print. Spruce up your walls and watch how your entire room changes.
Showcase one piece
Allow one piece – an ottoman with a luxurious fabric, a bold colored leather sofa, or a simple centerpiece of furniture – to be the eye candy in your room. Work everything else around that piece then sit back and enjoy the view.
Add art
The addition of artwork on the walls can make great use of your vertical space. Hang a collection of pieces to incorporate color and to redirect attention in your room.
Renovate your mantle
Add a different material to change the aesthetics of the room. Reposition display pieces on your mantel or swap them out altogether, especially seasonally. Add a coat of paint on your mantle wall for an accent splash.
Get a rug
Add warmth, color, and texture without moving a piece of furniture. A rug can draw colors together and provide a distinct perimeter.
Rearrange
Even subtle changes such as positioning and angles can change the flow and look.
Take a few moments this weekend to re-arrange your room and provide a fresh outlook for the week ahead.
