Five ideas that can
dramatically improve your living room
Can’t seem to create a
living room that feels quite right? Looking for some styling tips that will
bring your living room up a notch? Here are five ideas that can dramatically
improve your living room.
- Move the furniture away from the walls:
The tendency is to place your furniture against the walls, but giving it a
little room to breathe will make the seating area seem cozier while also
making the room seem more spacious.
- Mix old and new pieces: Using the same
furniture set to furnish an entire room can make it seem a bit sterile.
Try mixing and matching different pieces and styles to give your living
room a more eclectic feel.
- Keep everything low: Arranging photos and
artwork lower on walls will make a room appear larger, and can also draw
more attention to the pieces themselves.
- Place a bookshelf behind the sofa: It
doesn’t have to be your entire personal library. Mix and match books with
knick-knacks and other items to add some depth and texture to the space
behind your sofa.
- Try a smaller coffee table: Your current
coffee table is probably larger than it needs to be, and it may be
dominating the room. Try downsizing to a table that can still hold
magazines, a centerpiece, and a few drinks, but will also give you a bit
more room to move around your furniture.
