The Best Ways to Update your Living Room

The living room is a space that needs to be updated and refreshed. It's the room where you entertain guests, watch TV and movies, and relax after a long day. But what do you do if your living room hasn't been updated in years? The good news is that it's easy to update your space by swapping out throw pillows or adding decorative plants or even an accent chair that makes a statement. Here are our top six tips for updating your luxury living room sets:

Swap out your throw pillows

Throw pillows are a great way to update your living room. They can add color, pattern, and texture that will make it feel like you're in a different space. You can also change the look of your living room for a low cost!

Invest in a new rug

If you want to give your living room a boost, consider investing in a new rug. Rugs can be used to hide stains and add color, texture, warmth and comfort to any space.

A good quality rug will also help keep the flooring clean as well as warm underfoot when using rugs that have wool or other natural fibers in them.

Use decorative plants to refresh the space

Decorative plants can be a great way to refresh the space. They help with air quality and bring a new look to your room, but they’re also easy to maintain. You don’t need much space for them, so you can put them anywhere in your living room!

  • Use plants as décor: If you want to use decorative plants as décor, think about what kind of plant would look best with each piece of furniture in your home (or even if there is only one type of plant). For example, if an area has lots of natural light coming in through windows or skylights but no other furniture nearby (like an open floor plan), try using bamboo palm trees as focal points instead since they grow well under direct sunlight. It may seem like these types of trees don't suit many other styles besides contemporary ones—but they're actually quite popular among homeowners looking for something fresh yet classic at once!

Hang a new piece of art

While it may seem like an obvious choice, hanging a new piece of art can be a great way to update your living room. Choose something that makes a statement and will bring life into the space itself. Make sure you're using art that is meaningful to you—you want it to feel like an extension of who you are and what you want out of life.

What size should I choose? The size depends on how much space your walls have available for hanging: if there's not much space left over after putting up wall-to-wall carpeting, then go with something smaller; if there is plenty left over (like when we were installing our new room), go ahead and get large!

Add texture with baskets

Baskets are a great way to add texture and color to your living room. They can be used in many ways:

  • As storage for blankets and pillows
  • To store magazines, books, or other items that you'd like to keep organized but don't have enough space for on shelves or tables. If there isn't enough room, consider stacking several baskets together!

Change lighting

Lighting is one of the most powerful tools in your living room. It can be used to create a mood, highlight certain areas, set the right mood for different activities and make it feel more intimate or spacious. The type of lighting you use will depend on what you're trying to achieve with your space. whether it's a more formal setting or something more casual. Here are some ideas:

  • Use multiple lamps throughout the room that all have similar light levels (so they don't overpower each other). For example, you might want one lamp over by the couch but another over by the entertainment center. Or maybe you'll have several floor lamps at varying heights in different parts of your living room so that they cast different shadows onto objects throughout its expanse.* Use dimmers if necessary so that only certain parts get too bright when someone walks into them.* Put down wooden floors instead of carpeting because wood absorbs sound better than carpeting does.* Keep track of where people stand while sitting down while browsing through books or watching TV shows/movies because sometimes chairs may block their view due to tall legs blocking short ones from seeing anything else besides those two items only!

Create whiter sight lines for cohesive airiness

You can create a cohesive airy look by using a mirror or wall art to draw the eye to the center of your room. A rug will also help define the space and give it additional visual interest.

If you have an empty table in the middle of your living room, consider adding height by placing some small decorative objects on top of it, like vases or candles. Or even just one large piece that stands out from all other furniture pieces.

Experiment with patterned walls

A patterned wall is a great way to add interest and color without having to paint. Patterned walls can also be a fun way to add color, but they're not just for walls! You could use them on floors or even as part of your furniture if you wanted.

Patterned walls can help make a small room feel bigger by adding personality, which is especially helpful if you live in an apartment that's not big enough for everything (like me).

Mid Century chair

The biggest way you can update your living room is by adding an mid century chair. An accent chair can be used to add a pop of color, texture, height and even style to a space.

  • Use an accent chair that matches the rest of the room. If you have a light colored sofa with dark carpeting and walls then its best not to choose something too busy or loud like bright red velvet nor should you go with something dark like leather. If the rest of your furniture is light colored. Instead opt for something neutral like white velvet or black leather which will work with all other pieces in the room whether they are modern classics or traditional classics.
  • Add some height: Accent chairs come in many different heights so try out different ones until one catches your eye! They range from low profile upholstered chairs (think chaise) to tall club stools (think bar stool). This allows us all kinds of options when deciding what kind would work best depending on how high up off ground level we want our feet seated at during those long relaxing evenings spent watching movies together as friends do after dinner has been eaten

Conclusion

We hope you’re feeling inspired to create an updated living room that reflects your personal style. We know it can be tough to make big changes in your home, but don’t let the fear of change keep you from making a difference. The best way to get started is by thinking about how things could look better and then visualizing them! Take some time with each idea before moving forward with any changes. It may help if you write everything down just so you don’t forget anything (or feel overwhelmed). If there are any renovations needed before they become reality, get estimates first so they don’t end up costing more than expected. And most importantly: have fun.
