Simple home decor ideas to improve your living space

Regardless of the time and money than you originally put into decorating your home, there comes a point when you look at your living room and it just doesn’t have the same appeal that you found to start with. Maybe you went through a phase where everything beige seemed perfect or you were following a trend that no longer is popular, whatever it is the room doesn’t seem to have what it used to. 

Regardless of their ‘why’, at some point in their lives, most people feel the need for a home decorating refresh. Fortunately, you won’t have to budget out your whole wages for a living room refresh. There are simple and easy home decor ideas that you can use to improve your living space! 

Get New Cushions

One of the easiest ways that you can make your living room look new again is to get some new cushion covers. These may seem like a small detail of your home decoration, but it’s a detail that has a lot of impact on the room and the vibe. If you’re currently using neutral colours or simple patterns, switch it up with some fun colourful pillows for a change. 

We suggest buying high-quality cushion pads which covers that you can easily swap. If you want to really be on your game, buy a variety of covers in advance and just switch them out when you’re feeling like you’re like you need a change. Throws and cushions are what people instantly notice when they walk into a room and can show your personality.

Rearrange Your Furniture 

It’s no news that people love rearranging furniture. Not only can it make a room look completely different but it’s also therapeutic for people. By doing something as simple as rearranging the furniture in the room your home can look totally different. Before you do all the actual lifting with moving your furniture around map out where it’ll go so that you don’t waste time. 

Add In A Rug 

When in doubt, add a rug to your living room. A rug is going to add some style and make the room more interesting than it does if you just have the floor. Large area rugs aren’t just good for adding style to the room, they also set the pace for how the room feels. They make rooms friendly, warm, and inviting. Unlike carpets, they’re easy to replace and switch out if you’re feeling a change of pace for the room. Rugs take up enough portion of the room that they can set the pace for colour patterns and the feel of the room. 

Include A Gallery Wall 

Another easy way that you can change things up in your living space is to include a gallery wall. Nothing makes a room feel like home more than photos of you and your loved ones lined up on the wall in beautiful frames. You can organise family photos in a stylish way that will add to the room. 

You can either opt to use an organised grid for your wall or if you’re going for a more relaxed look, you can keep the wall more laid back and use a simple wall structure. Either way that you decide, make sure that the wall compliments the rest of your home decor. A gallery wall filled with photos of family is sometimes the refresh that we can all use. 

Colour Coordinate Your Books 

Sometimes a little touch of colour coordination is all that you need to add a spark to your living room. If you’ve got bookshelves filled with books, consider colour coordinating them to add some life to your living room. You may not have enough space to do a full rainbow wall but you can give your living space some happiness by creating a rainbow bookshelf. 

Including some colour coordination can be a major detail in your home. If you don’t have enough space on your bookshelf to completely colour coordinate your books, just stack a few books on the coffee table or the floor to give your living room some style. You’d be surprised at just how much impact colour coordinating your books can have.
