Living Rooms Made Simple - 5 tips on how to improve your living room
1. Get focused! The fireplace is usually the focal point of a living room, but if you don’t have one you can still create a focal point, by hanging either a piece of art or a large mirror on the wall. If your living room has a big window then you could make that the focal point, especially if it has a nice view, and hang some floor length curtains to frame it.
2. Roll out the (red) carpet! Laying a statement rug down in the living room can give a splash of colour, as well adding as visual interest and a warmer feeling to the room. Getting some complimentary, or even matching scatter cushions for the sofa too will tie your seating area together perfectly. This one has loads of colours in so you can choose your matching cushions easily! https://www.therugshopuk.co.uk/spectrum-samba-multi-rug-fr8103.html
3. Light up on time! Putting timers on side lamps is a really good idea; they’re really easy to install, and if you set them to come on just before you get home from work it’ll save you walking into a pitch-black house. It’s also helpful to set them to go on and off at sensible times when you are away, as it’ll make it seem like somebody is at home and deter any possible villains! This one from Argos can be changed according to each day of the week and is only £6.99. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9822894
4. De-clutter! Instead of having lots of ornaments and decorative items out, try having only a few items on display. Not only does it help the room feel less busy and therefore more relaxing, it also will be easier to dust!
5. Keep cosy! Keep blankets in a convenient storage unit next to the sofa, then you can easily pull one out if you feel like cosying up. We like these cube ottomans as they can also be used as a handy spare seat if you have a lot of guests! https://www.dunelm.com/product/foldable-grey-cube-ottoman-1000111409
