6 Ideas for Living Room Inspiration

6 Ideas for Living Room Inspiration
Looking for ideas to refresh your living room? Whether you’re on a tight budget or you’ve been saving up for a big revamp project, we’ve shared six tips to give you inspiration. There are many ways to rejuvenate your living space interiors without spending a fortune.

1. Easy way to refresh your living room
Firstly, this does not involve furniture! Let’s start with some really simple changes you can make that could completely transform your room. Change your wallpaper or create one feature wall with a beautiful botanical or geometric print. Repaint faded walls with a fresh colour. Swap your curtains for stylish blinds with a bold colour or pattern. Change your lighting to statement lamps or an elegant pendant light fitting.

2. Essential living room accessories
Think about the items you need in your living room, from your sofa to your coffee table, TV unit and storage, footstool or pouffe. Spruce up plain walls with bright artwork or a framed photo gallery. If you want to switch up the colour even more, then you could add a bold jewel-tone accent chair to the mix. Sometimes a feature chair is all you need to inject some life back into a tired looking living space.

3. Redesigning a small living room
Depending on the size of your home, you will face different challenges. Think about ways you can make smaller rooms more dynamic. How can you redesign your space? What can you do and what won’t work at all? Double up with space-saving ideas, such as plush storage stools and practical ottomans. Swap an old armchair for a compact recliner. Fit one wall with a logical shelving system that can hold your TV.

4. Revamping a large living room
Cosiness is key when you redesign a living space. But this can be hard to achieve if you have a large draughty room. If you prefer a minimalist look, keep the walls white and focus on your furniture. Divide the room up with matching two-seater and three-seater sofas or choose a grey linen corner sofa. If you like a bolder and warmer palette, you could focus on textures and go for comfy jumbo cord reclining sofas.

5. Coffee table culture
There’s a vast range of coffee tables out there, from geometric shapes to slices of tree trunk. You could make your coffee table a special feature that acts as an anchor for the rest of the room. You could choose a coffee table with storage underneath, such as drawers or a shelf. Measure the space and check that your coffee table won’t overwhelm the room. If you have a small room, avoid tables with sharp edges.

6. Small changes can make a big difference
You don’t need to do much or spend much to transform a room. Sometimes a fresh coat of paint can completely transform the look and feel of a space. Or simply change one aspect of your furnishings using a vibrant accent colour to bring the space to life. Paint old tables, units and chairs in a fresh hue. Update your cushion covers, add a throw or a bright rug; all of these small changes can help to refresh a living space.

Your living area is an important room where you’ll likely spend most of your time outside of work. So, you want to make sure this space reflects both your personality and the practical ways in which the room will be used. You can completely rejuvenate a room without spending huge sums of money - just consider the style you want to achieve.

Your choice of furniture is essential to making a living space work for you. Design elements can be chosen around the furniture, as long as you choose good quality chairs, sofas, tables and other items. And choose wisely - avoid simply filling this space with everything you think you’ll need. Take advantage of space-saving ideas and versatile living room furniture.
