Creative Living Room Design Ideas

When you get home after a long day, the living room is often the spot where you want to kick back and relax for a while. This is probably one of your most comfortable rooms and ensuring that it is designed not only for comfort, but functionality too, is important. Whether you’re looking for some inspiration for a total redecorating project, or you just need a few simple ideas to freshen up your space, here are some ideas that can make your space inviting and up to date.

Upgrade Your Lighting:
New lighting can transform your space with a totally new look. Buy brand new light fixtures to brighten the space and work with your specific style. Whether it’s elaborate and glamorous, or something classic, table lamps or floor lamps are a great way to change up your living room style.

In addition, don’t forget about maximizing the natural light that comes from your windows. Don’t block your windows with big, bulky furniture. And, if you have drapes or blinds, open them to bring in the Pacific Northwest sun. Have your windows seen better days? Consider a window replacement project for your home. New windows not only add beauty to your home, but they add value and can even help you save money on your energy bills. Not to mention, they are incredibly quiet and will last for a long time – that’s a win-win!

Find a Focal Point:
Whether it’s a big picture window in the middle of the living room, or a one-of-a-kind statement piece that captivates the eyes of people that enter the room, a focal point in your living room is a must-have.

Pick the Right Colors:
Color makes all the difference in your living space. Whether you like bold wall colors, or something more neutral, pick colors that work with your living room layout. If you have a small space, avoid dark colors, as this can make the area feel smaller. If you love one color, consider using it in different shades. For example, a charcoal gray wall would look lovely with a lighter gray couch. Then, match wwith gray and silver accent pillows or lamps. Mixing textures and colors is fun and can bring life to the space.
