In this article, we will look at a number
of different ways to provide a new look to your living room. It may be that you are just starting out in a
new home, or that you would like to revive an old tired space, but decorating
any room, and especially the living room, can be a real challenge. It can be even more of a challenge when you
only have small budget to work with.
But the biggest hurdle that we face is how
to get a look that expresses our unique personality, without spending a
fortune. However, by looking at the
items you already have in a different way, you should be able to create a cozy
family room for almost next to nothing. Below
are provided a number of decorating tips which should help to turn a drab living
room into a warm and friendly place for everybody to gather.
1.
Paint
Paint one wall using your favorite color,
and so make this the focal point of the room.
Then hang a piece of interesting art on the wall (it could even be
something you have made yourself). Next,
place a nice piece of furniture on that side of the room to provide even more
accent to the wall. If you want to add
extra impact to the wall, then why not use a rubber stamping technique? Although it is extremely easy to do, rubber stamping
can look very impressive when finished.
2. Use an Area Rug
This is a great way to define a
conversation area and look for one which will complement the décor of the
room. Rather than lying it straight, put
it at an angle underneath your coffee table (if you have one). Or if not, then just place it in a central
location where the seating is situated.
Why not add some large cushions as well?
3. Pictures & Mirrors
Hang those which most reflect your
personality. If you are able to, try
frames that are more ornate. Plus, when
hanging a mirror, place it in a position where it will reflect either a nice
view, or an interesting architectural element of the room. Including a mirror in a room also creates the
illusion of more space in a room because of the light reflecting off it.
4.
Lighting
Replace lamps, as these are one thing that
will provide clues to your room being outdated.
If you are unable to replace the whole lamp, then just consider
replacing the lampshade instead.
5.
Coffee Table
If your coffee table is looking tired or
scratched, then cover it with a small decorative throw rug. Or if you want to be a bit more adventurous,
then why not consider tiling the top of it with mosaic tiles or colored glass
instead?
6. Rearrange the Furniture
But do not think square; instead, put your
furniture at an angle. By doing this you
are giving a whole new look to the layout of your room, and is much more
inexpensive than going out and buying new furniture.
Also pay attention to the floor space that
you have left and use it. You could
actually get some scatter cushions and use these as additional seating. It will provide your living room with a much
more relaxed atmosphere.
7.
Plants
Use plants to add freshness and impact to
the décor of your room, and if placed strategically, will hide any ugly flaws
in a room.
