Have you ever thought about ways you can transform your living room and make it even cozier and more welcoming? There are so many ideas for elevating the look of your family room and you’ll be happy to hear that they aren’t all that expensive. People always spend the biggest portion of their budget on kitchen and bathroom remodeling and prioritize them over the main room of the house – the place we spend most of our time relaxing. This central feature deserves all the love and care we can offer, and, if we give the attention it needs, the end results will be more than satisfying.

Hang a large piece of Art

Although this sounds expensive, this is one of the oldest tricks from the famous designer’s books. You don’t have to buy expensive art pieces – on the contrary, you can easily achieve a glamorous look by printing a photo you can find online and just frame it. Apart from that, an interesting way to add a personal touch is finding your children’s old drawings and turning them into a collage. This is a great way to incorporate family history and it’ll be a great story to tell all your guests. If you feel artistic, buy a big canvas and enjoy creating artwork you can proudly display as the focal point of your room.

 

Flowers are always welcome

This is a go-big-or-go-home situation and you need to approach it very carefully if you want to really nail this design. Plants have a welcoming appeal and they can do wonders if you place them strategically around the home. Find some interesting flower pots and opt for big and green plants that are suitable for staying indoors all year long. These won’t only be a great aesthetic feature, but also great for your health, so ask your florist for advice. Add a few plants with colorful flowers that can add a pop of color where you don’t expect it, and spread them around the room.

Rearrange the furniture

This is the least expensive way to refresh your room and, according to Australian interior designers, this one hour project can do wonders for your home. The best way to properly place your furniture is to have a look at your house plan and see how you function on a daily basis. Many Aussies say that they spend most of their day in the living room, so they like to place all the furniture together and tie it with a great table. This is why they like to add a much-needed sofa for an additional seating area, which can be bought in any reliable furniture store in Sydney. However, if you’re not used to spending that much time in the living room, go with fewer pieces of furniture, spread them around the room and fill the space with chairs and small coffee tables.
 

Use different texture to add depth

Using different types of materials can do wonder for the overall design of your living room. You can start by layering rugs and mixing different patterns which can make a surprisingly good combo if you know your way around different colors. If you’re into crafts, buy various materials and make pillows from different fabrics. This is where you need to be careful not to overcrowd your furniture, so be sure to plan this action ahead. Apart from fabrics, you can combine metal, glass and wood which can add a new dynamic to your space.  

Repurpose what you can

There’s no need to buy new furniture when you can repurpose your old pieces and make them look more luxurious than before. Go through your furniture, see what can brighten up your space and what can get a new purpose. Small chairs can be turned into impromptu coffee tables or flower stands, and you can always paint them into a color of your choice. There are many different techniques for painting and refabricating, and you’ll probably find the one that suits you the most.

Before we start redecorating, we need to take budget and time organization into consideration, which is why we tend to forget about tips and trick that are more than welcome in situations like this. It’s all about thinking every step of the process through, and if you manage to do so, you’ll surely be happy with the end results.
