A Few Simple Tips and Tricks to Add Stylish Updates to Your Living Room

The living room is one of the rooms in the home that you want to be cosy and comfortable. You will want it to be stylish too. We spend quite a bit of our time in it, and it is where we take guests when they come to visit. So we want it to look stylish, right? Here are some of my thoughts on how you can easily add a stylish update to your living room.

Choose the Color Wisely


The color that a room is can affect the mood of the people in it. There has been a lot of history behind the psychology of color and the findings are interesting. Cool colors like blue and white can make the room feel relaxing. It can make the room feel spacious, open, and fresh. Bolder colors like red and purple add a luxurious feel but can make the room feel a little smaller and dark. Warm colors like orange and tan can be nice and homely and help you to feel relaxed. So think about the ambience that you are trying to create and then go with the colors from there. The good news is that changing the color of the room is easy to do. Just get a paintbrush or some wallpaper. It could be done in one day if needed, so it’s a bonus.


Think About a Focal Point


When you walk into a room, it is always better if there is a focal point in the room. In a living room, a fireplace is a natural focal point. There is nothing cosier than being able to snuggle up by a fire in the living room. There are so many options that you can choose from, though. You can even get electric fires or remote controlled ones these days. You could choose to have a wood burner or an open fire place. These are all great options, but might be better if you don’t have young children. You could get a fire guard, though. You could mix it up with logs, coal or even Fire Glass. So think about the style of the living area and decide what would look best.

Comfortable Seating


One of the most important parts of a living room is being able to sit down and be comfortable. It might be for cosying up to watch a movie, or just to entertain with friends. Whatever you use it for, the seating you have is so important. Think about the layout of the living room too. You want it to be easy to make conversation and for everyone to see each other. It can be tricky, depending on the size and shape of the room. So have a play with the furniture to see what will look best. It is also a good idea to get something like a bean bag or large pillows that can be moved around the room. Then it changes up the options for seating, depending on the number of people.

Your kitchen may be the official heart of the home, the central nerve center where the family meets over meals and performs tasks from paying bills to playing games, but your bathrooms are the rooms where you come again and again.

Spending Too Much How much is too much when you are renovating a bathroom? A good rule of thumb is not to spend more than five to ten percent of the home’s value on renovating a bathroom, since you can’t recoup more than a fraction of the investment when the house is sold later. The only exception is when you are adding a new bathroom to the house to bring it up to the neighborhood average. For example, if you have a three bedroom single bathroom ol...

Mini Storage Can Help Your De-Clutter Your Home

They’ve just accumulated a lot of junk, and too much of it can hinder their ability to let loose and relax after a long, hard day. Believe it or not, it’s true.

It also diminishes your ability to process information as the visual stimuli of clutter distract your brain. When exposed to clutter for longer periods of time, your brain can suffer from fatigue and result in negative mental experiences. If you’ve been feeling anxious or frus...
