The Quickest Living Room Makeover Ever!
You have been putting off the makeover of your living room for a while, but it really needs one. Out of the blue you receive a call that your in-laws are going visit you from out of town! The room needs updating, it needs to be done fast and you cannot think of what to do. This article will provide tips that will assist in making over your living room, while not having to spend so much money in the process.
You in-laws will not only be impressed, but you will have quickly finished redecorating the room, the room that has been needing a makeover for months.
Paint a Wall
No, you do not have to spend laborious hours painting the entire living room. Choose a single wall, and paint it an intense color that blends with your present accents. Doing this one little thing can add amazing depth to the room. Warmth and a great burst of color will also be added to the room.
Can’t Afford New Furniture?
Invest in some good slipcovers if you need new furnishings but don’t have the budget for it at the moment. A solid color for the slipcover of the sofa would be a good idea, and then you should have the sofa accented with richly textured pillows that will help bring out the color of the freshly painted wall. Is there a boldly patterned throw lying around? Causally toss it over the back of the sofa, or a rocking chair or recliner.
Take the furniture and move it around, removing it from the walls. Move it into an intimate, cozy and welcoming arrangement. If an area rug is going to be added, make sure that it includes the room’s colors and that it is centered in the middle of the grouping.
Clear the Clutter
Clutter usually makes a room look untidy and disorganized. The size of the room can be visually increased by simply removing clutter from the floor, furniture and tabletops. This will also make the room look cleaner and much more organized. A general rule to follow is that a single table should never have more than three item placed on it.
Now, use further bursts of color to decorate the walls. Take boldly colored prints and hang them, or stencil designs on the wall yourself and paint using hues that harmonize or contrast with the other colors of the room. Using only up to three colors will add interest without over complicating things. Finish off the job with a vase of fresh flowers and a warmly scented candle. You will quickly have a new, and updated, looking living room when you are done.
Sometimes, all that is need for getting things done that we’ve been meaning to do for a while is a little extra reason. However, no matter the reason, you can use these tips to refresh the room a bit. You can transform the look of a neutral or otherwise boring room before dark tonight. By adding bold colors and accents to the room, you will have brought new life to the area.
