If you are looking for a fun weekend activity, consider redecorating your living room. Improving your living room space should not be that hard or expensive if you try the following:
Measuring the Space
First and foremost, you should take note of the measurements of your living room. Having the precise, measurements of every corner of your space can help you choose a sofa, armchair, coffee table, bookcase, and other furnishings of the right size. It can also save you from the hassles of ordering and then having to return your purchases because they are too big, tall, or small for the space.
Picking a Wall Color
What mood do you want to set the moment someone steps into the living room? Through the colors of your living room, you can create an aesthetic that conveys your taste or acts a representation of your personality. For instance, whites and soft blues have a calm and cooling effect and also give off an elegant vibe. Yellows, meanwhile, have a sunny, warm, and welcoming effect.
Different shades of green can create a restful, tranquil, refreshing, and invigorating atmosphere. Warm colors, such as red and orange, can raise the energy in the room and convey excitement, passion, and enthusiasm.
Deciding on Lighting
To keep your living room bright and cozy, you need to select the right kinds of lighting fixtures. In general, lighting pieces are categorized into three groups— task, ambient, and accent. Task lighting refers to those lights that are necessary for specific tasks, such as a table lamp on a side table for reading. Ambient lighting refers to those lights that provide overall illumination to a space, like a chandelier. Accent lighting refers to lights used to showcase particular items in a space, such as picture lights.
Adding a Rug
Whether you have hardwood, tile, marble, or concrete floors in your living room, having a rug can provide underfoot comfort and make a design statement that is uniquely you. Rugs come in different types, sizes, shapes, and colors. For example, a tuft rug or tufted rug is a type of rug that is made using loops of yarn that are pulled through a backing fabricwith the use of a hand tool or machine. And even though a tuft rug with backing fabric is relatively inexpensive, its aesthetics can convey any type of style, from luxury and elegance to fun and youthful.
Arranging the Furniture
The living room of a house is usually used as a gathering space where guests can sit and talk. To ensure that everyone is comfortable and conversations happen easily, you should place your furnishings in a way that promotes interaction. You can do that by arranging the sofa, chairs, armchairs, and ottomans to face each other.
Placing Accessories
Add more life to your living room by accessorizing. You can use wall art, desk frames, clocks, flowerpots, vases, and books. You can also display your hobbies and collections, such as mini cars, figurines, coins, stamps, dolls, and vintage movie posters.
