If you’re looking at
renovating and redesigning your living room, take a look at some of the unique
design tips to get you going.

Use Mirrors

Mirrors add a clean, modern look to any room you put them in. If you have more elegant and traditional looking mirrors, then they can give you a classic look that reflects that of different eras. Using mirrors opens up so many new possibilities, plus they are excellent for reflecting natural light into the living room.

Install mirrors along a
wall to create a wall of mirrors. It creates
a unique centrepiece in the room that will get people talking. Hang them across
from windows to reflect natural light and brighten up the space.

Use Colour

Colour is an excellenttool to set the mood and create an atmosphere that reflects your personality. Depending on what you’re looking for, you could go with bright colours to keepthe space energized and uplifted. You could also go for calmer, warm colours to create a relaxing space.

Update the Flooring

You could put in all this
time and effort updating the living room, and have it lost if you don’t do
anything with the flooring. A floor is one quick way to make your house look
outdated.

Install flooring that
stays within the feel of the home. There are
many options available to choose from, like hardwood, carpet, ceramic
tile, and stone tile.

Create an Interest Point

Once you have the bigger sections done, – painting, flooring –you can move on to the smaller details that bring everything together. Adding artwork to the room is an additional step to enhance the atmosphere, and give the living room your special touch.

Try adding in larger pieces in obvious places to create a focal point. Dramatic features create
things for guests to talk about, and they add a special effect to the room that
is unique to you.

Arrange the Space Appropriately

Because we feel the living room is a place of gathering, you want your furniture to reflect that. If you have everything closed off, it won’t feel very invited. Instead, arrange the space so that it invites guests to come sit down and chat with you.

Keeping an open concept
helps with the flow of the room. Having too many things and the living room
will feel cluttered.

Dress the Windows

Sometimes, dressing the windows is the last minute decision. However, it shouldn’t be. Because there are many options for window dressings, they should be a part of your design plan.

Look for curtains and
blinds that reflect the atmosphere you’re trying to develop. There are elegant
options, bold and unique ones, and ones that help block out the light.
