Liven Up your Living Room by Refurbishing the Decor
Give some flair to your living room. There are many ways to enhance your living room such as adding stylish paint colours, the furniture type, the lighting and other fixtures that is necessary for transforming the room.
Nevertheless, re-designing, restoring, refurbishing a living room or whatever word you may want to call it is not an easy job. It can lead you to nowhere especially if you are not equipped with the skill and the talent. Below are tips that may help to provide you with the skills to liven up your living room.
Start with the walls
Use neutral tones for the base colour and harmonise it with other hues of the living room. Select an accent colour like dark green or dark red and polish it with gold or metallic silver to get a sophisticated look. This will now be the accent wall. If you prefer a more conventional look, use neutral shades on the larger walls and a complementary shade on the smaller walls.
Living Room Furniture
Sofas must be sturdy, stylish but not overpowering. Choose designs and materials that blend with your existing decor. Regarded as traditional but refined and classy is leather. Make sure that furniture and the walls will complement each other. Match the sofas with throw pillows of animated colours but not too loud. Make use of natural wooden blinds instead of curtains. This will highlight the other adornments yet will not remove the attention from the room.
You can similarly get some arresting wall shelves and then put in place an array of stylish objects such as decorative plates, ornaments or any other items that you feel will show off your interests and compliment your room.
Another popular choice is to display quality paintings. It does not have to be the paintings of well-known painters. If you have an artist friend, you can select from his works. You can also check online for contemporary works of art.
Make use of an extraordinary shaped bookshelf to show off your book collections. Modern furniture has done a tremendous modification in the designs of the bookshelf. Ultra-modern, geometrically designed bookshelves are unique and eye-catching. There are even a few where you can add more shelves.
Have a bar in your living room. You can get a small bar set and place it in one corner. However, there are modern coffee tables that also work as a bar set which is amazing, but true! Check on online furniture stores for varied designs of modern coffee table and bar in one.
Certain modern coffee tables also have additional storage provision; you can also include an espresso machine or a coffee maker to make available for those who do not drink wine.
A fantastic idea to modernise your living room is to introduce the digital picture frame. These ingenious products are perfect for extenuating your room and enabling you to remove your old picture frames.
A little overhaul will make wonders towards your living room. Since the home is your fortress and the living room is your field, give it an ageless appeal to make it livelier. Try not to make it to overbearing by adding a touch of concern and kindliness so people will perceive that you are gentle and caring.
