Living Room Update Ideas

The living room is one of the most used rooms in the house, but it is often overlooked when it comes to freshening and updating.  Whether you just want to enjoy your own home more, or are looking to freshen the space before selling, here are a few tricks to update your living space:

  • Create a focus by framing a large panel of dramatic wallpaper behind a sofa against the wall.
  • Add a black or boldly colored coffee table to an otherwise neutral room.
  • Tile the fireplace in a bold color or freshen it with a coat of white paint and a new mantle.
  • Add a free standing divider to an open floor plan.
  • Add a window seat with drawers or a lid for storage space to bay window or other large window space.
  • Paint the walls with a fresh coat of paint and add accents such as pillows and accessories in bright and bold hues.
  • Play with your accessories – an arrangement of art or photos on the wall or a mantel display of cohesive but varied elements can really set a room apart.
