Upscale Your Entertainment Space With a Living Room Remodel
There are key elements for adding a wow factor to a living room. From decorating to changing the structure or raising the ceiling. Remodeling and decorating a living room isn’t an easy task, and it may seem like you are playing a game of Tetris to make sure everything fits right and can maximize the space.
You Might Ask, “How to Refresh My Living Room?”
You want enough space for people to walk around and enough space for food, drinks, and gifts. You might want to add a fireplace or built-in shelving.
To refresh your living room, you need to declutter unused items to make more room for seating. And now, let us break down the process for a living room refresh.
Understand the Traffic Flow of Guests
Think about the best places for people to walk through the space, sit, and conversate. Then what elements are in the room that you love and what do you hate?
Plan your Living Room Layout For Large Items
Choose a place for your seating areas, areas for relaxing, sipping coffee, watching movies, or playing a game. Now, do you need to move windows, doors, or heating vents? A long blank wall is ideal for a feature wall. You can always use folding trays or small end tables as an alternative option instead of a coffee table to allow for more walking space in the room.
Design a High-End Living Room
Raise the ceiling and getting exposed beams is not cheap, but makes an impact on any space. Consider refinishing the fireplace with marble, a beam, or modern tile designs. Add crown molding and canned lights for a budget way to get that high-end look for any living space.
Pick a Living Room Style
Select a living room style that best suits your needs and home aesthetic.
- Make a focal point with your living room style. What do you want people to notice when they first walk in? Your wall with pictures, your comfy couch, or coffee table? Pay attention to this.
- Have hidden storage options so not all of your items are on display. Choose an entertainment console with storage options for DVDs, board games, and other entertainment accessories. You can always have an ottoman or a coffee table to help store additional throw blankets and pillows.
- Add your personal touches to your living room such as photos in a gallery wall style presentation and other family mementos scattered on the wall, side tables, or coffee tables. Having these personal items out for display is a great conversation starter when you have your guests over! Trust us!
- For your couch, you can add fun patterned or textured throw pillows and blankets for an extra splash of style.
No matter what your decor style is, make your living room a reflection of who you are. Invite family and friends over to enjoy your new living room and make some memories!
