3 Tips for Refreshing Your Living Room Design
You spend a lot of time in your living room, so, understandably, you may become tired of looking at the same decor. The good news is that refreshing your living room can be quick, easy, and inexpensive. The Rachel Brosky Interiors team shares our favorite tips to refresh your living room design.
Swap Out Living Room Window Treatments
Changing your window treatments is one of the easiest ways to refresh your living room. Windows are a focal point in any space, so their coverings will always garner attention. We love plantation shutters on living room windows because they have a timeless allure that you can incorporate into any aesthetic. The adjustable louvers of plantation shutters offer exceptional light control and ventilation without fully opening the panels. Choose from the classic warmth of Heritance® Wood Shutters or the easy care of Palm Beach™ Polysatin Vinyl™ Shutters for your living room.
Sheer shades are another fantastic option for living rooms. They beautifully diffuse and accent natural light while providing daytime privacy. Tilt the fabric vanes for precision control of light and privacy, and enjoy superior protection from damaging UV rays. Pirouette® Sheer Shades are perfect for contemporary or minimalist interiors and look fabulous as a base layer underneath drapery. Designer Roller Shades are another excellent option for a minimalist design or narrow windows and are available in hundreds of color and material combinations to complement any aesthetic.
Make a Statement with Lighting & Art
Layers of light help create a warm, welcoming atmosphere after sunset. A single overhead light will create a small area far too bright and shadows the rest of the room. Dark shadows make a room look and feel smaller and uninviting. Replace the current overhead lighting with a new statement-making fixture, and add a couple of fun floor lamps. You can also introduce track lighting to accent your favorite architectural features or artwork in the room. Make an empty wall more exciting by adorning it with a large piece of art. Surround it with smaller works to create a gallery wall, or use mirrors to reflect light and make your living room look more spacious.
Add Texture and Accents
An abundant amount of texture is essential for an attractive living room. You can quickly achieve texture layers by using various fabrics throughout the space. Try adding a large area rug and throw pillows. Houseplants and flowers bring freshness and depth to end tables, mantels, and windowsills. Duette® Cellular Shades are unmatched when creating texture at the window. Layering your window treatments can also add luxurious texture and enhanced functionality.
