Your living room is the heart of your home. A space for relaxation, entertainment, and making memories. Decorating or refreshing this space doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By taking a step-by-step approach, you can create a room that reflects your style while staying functional and inviting. Let’s explore two key decorating tips to kick-start your living room makeover.
1. Take Stock:
Step back and look at your existing living room decor. To make space for new decor, get rid of items that are damaged, outdated, too large, too small, or that you just don’t like anymore. If it’s a family heirloom or a piece you want to keep that no longer fits, give it a new spot somewhere else in your house.
Now that you have only the pieces you want to use going forward, you’re ready for the next step!
Tip! Donate your unwanted items or host a yard sale and put that extra cash toward your redecorating project.
2. Hone Your Color Palette:
Colors set the tone for your room. Look at your current living room color palette, from your walls to your furniture, and decide what colors you want to change and what colors you want to keep. Think about different colors that will complement and enhance the current look of your room. A mostly blue and green room will have a calming effect, while vibrant, bold colors like red, yellow, and orange are more energizing. A neutral room of white, tan, and gray is the perfect canvas for bright, bold accents. Depending on your personal style, you may want to focus on an accent piece and base the rest of your room off that color or add in pops of color throughout different decor items.
