The living room is one of the most versatile areas in the home. Typically for relaxing and socialising, with a shift in how we entertain the open floor plan with combined living room, dining room, alfresco and kitchen it is now common for the living room to be regularly for friends and family who stop by. This underlines the importance of a suitable living room design; one that inspires relaxation, entertainment, and more.
This also means giving your living room a makeover once in a while, considering that it gets the most traffic, is a must. Wouldn’t it be great if the next time you host an celebration the room looks familiar yet different in a certain way? The good news is that when it comes to designing and decorating, there are plenty of living room ideas available, and updating can happen by just playing with colours.
Whether you opt to keep things simple or elaborate, one thing must remain true at all costs – your living room ideas must look and feel refreshing. If you pull it off successfully, your old living room can look and feel brand new.
Install innovative lighting
What better way to update any room in the house than to change the lighting? No need to change the electrical work, but a few additions can do wonders for the overall ambience. Highlight outstanding details. Exchange the chandelier for a simpler, more minimalist lighting fixture. Add a few lamps here and there. The outcome? Refreshed and well-illuminated.
Add unique living room décor
These days, accessories are bold, daring, and unconventional. If the interior design and theme of your living room permits, be bold and daring and throw something unusual into the mix. Mirrors in asymmetrical shapes are one option. A coat stand with a unique silhouette is another. There are so many opportunities here to make this space your own.
Go for non-traditional furniture pieces
Non-traditional in a sense that a side table is not square and simple, but with curves and twists, or that a bookcase is not just slabs of wood but made to mimic tree branches or geometric shapes. They are also non-traditional because they can take on a different form when flipped or rearranged.
Leave your walls bare
An alternative to painting your walls lime is to leave them bare. Let the bare concrete come out and make a statement. Creating an industrial feel, softened by a plush sofa and fluffy cushions, is sure to make your living room look and feel modern.
Combine prints and plains
Do this strategically and you will be able to create a beautiful chaos. Think of a printed cushion on a sectional in solid hues or a carpet with a wave pattern under an all-black coffee table.
There are plenty more refreshing ideas that you can use to update your living room design. Feel free to experiment.
