Five ways to spruce up your living room - Central Texas Living

We look at the same space day after day and sometimes it can start to feel boring or played out.. but it is still our home and we have to find a way to enjoy where we live right? Follow these 5 simple tips to spruce up your living area!

1. Add/Update an accent wall

This can be a pretty big project, but a fresh coat of paint or even wallpaper for a less permanent solution can really change your entire opinion of your living space! Do not be afraid to really use your own style too! There are so many trends, but if your are not selling your house anytime soon, do something wild and crazy if you want to! Do you life floral? DO IT!

2. Change out old photos

Changing out old family photos or photo decor can really change the vibe in your space. I recently have updated our photo frames to gold and white, why? you ask.. because I love an elegant vintage vibe and it makes my space exciting for me to look at!

3. Update your lighting

Are your bulbs dull or yellow? Change those out for bright white lights! This alone can dramatically improve how your living space feels! If you want an even bigger project consider changing your fixtures all together if they are outdated! Recessed lighting is very “trendy” and honestly a practical style that I do not personally see going out of style any time soon! Even adding a lamp can help update the space!

4. Change your throw pillows

YES! It is true, changing your pillows (or their covers) can be so simple and so effective at making your living room feel brand new! You can change throw pillows as often as you need as well! Change per season, per month, or flat out whenever you feel like it!

5. Change the curtains

This one can be a little tricky, because if you change your curtains you may have to change your entire decor style if your aren’t careful, so just keep that in mind. Regardless this is a affordable and easy way to update the space!
