Tips on Updating Your Living Room Style

Updating your living room can be a fun project, and with a few simple tricks and the right home decor, it is possible to create a stylish and inviting space. Whether you prefer a classic style, a contemporary look or something in between, these tips will help you on your way to achieving the desired look.

Focus on Colour 

When it comes to updating the look and feel of a space, colour is key. Consider ways to introduce new colours without needing to replace existing furniture, such as adding bright cushions and rugs. Alternatively, you could consider painting the walls to add a fresh backdrop and make a bold statement. 

Incorporate Rugs and Cushions

Rugs, cushions, throws and blankets can be used to make a living room appear larger and cosier. By placing a rug in front of a sofa, it creates a ‘frame’ around the furniture. Cushions can also be rearranged and replaced to give the room a whole new look. 

Embrace Wall Art 

Wall art is a great way to give your living room an instant lift. Try to choose pieces that have warm tones or that complement the existing furniture, giving it a more personalised look. Fabric prints and canvas prints are also popular choices that can make a statement piece.

Change Your Lighting

Lighting is often overlooked, but it can make a huge difference when it comes to transforming a room. Consider replacing existing lamps and light bulbs with warmer ones. Then, think about how you can use lights to create a relaxing atmosphere. For example, you could install some rope lighting along the floor or hang a few string lights from the ceiling. This will give your living room a unique and inviting feel.
