Have you moved into a new space? Or are you simply tired of your living room set up? You can easily spice things up in your living room without spending too much money or doing a complete renovation. Sometimes a small but noticeable change or addition can completely improve the vibe of your living room and make it look new.
If you are looking for suggestions for how to improve your living room without going overboard, you have come to the right place! We will use our experience to guide you on 3 unique yet easy ways on how you can improve your living room.
The best thing is that most of these methods are easy to carry out at home by yourself. They are also not time consuming and allow you to improve your living room without spending too much time or money.
Mount Your TV
This is one of the most popular and practical ways of improving your living room space. The centerpiece of most living rooms is the TV, but we have noticed that most people are not very smart with where they choose to place the TV in their living room.
They often end up placing it in spaces that are not central. And in case you have a TV console, it requires a lot of space and can make your living room look smaller and congested.
A great way to open up space and mix things up is by mounting your TV! This is something you can do yourself at home by following these straightforward steps:
1. Pick a wall where you’d like to mount the TV. Make sure the wall is central and clear. Think carefully about the location as remounting your TV is extra work you do not want to deal with
2. Now use a stud finder to locate the studs on your wall and then mark these locations with a pencil or tape
3. Drill pilot holes into the stud marks and install mounting screws
4. Drill screws into the pilot holes and then fix the mount bracket into place using the screws
5. Open/unseal the attachment holes at the back of your TV and now carefully fix your TV onto the mounting bracket
6. Congratulate yourself for successfully mounting your TV!
There are some things to keep in mind while mounting your TV such as:
● Make sure you are extra careful while handling your TV as a small accident can prove to be expensive
● If you are not used to doing such projects at home, it can be a good idea to hire a professional
● With a professional, you won’t have to
worry about mishandling the TV and can easily
rely on the professional installer
TV Install is a well-known and economical option
for TV mounting services. Mounting your TV gives
new life to your living room by opening up space
and offering a better viewing experience!
New Sofa Cushions & Covers
Another central component of the living room is your sofa! The living room is where everyone comes together, and it would simply be incomplete without a sofa. However, sofas can be expensive to replace. Therefore, in case you are bored of your sofa and other sitting spots, you can easily give them a new look by getting new cushions or replacing the sofa covers!
New cushions are a great way to add a new dimension to your living room. You can easily choose cushions with a new design or pattern to add some extra elegance. However, by replacing the sofa covers, you won’t have to pay a hefty sum to replace your sofa.
With new covers, you can change the entire look of your sofa set. A great thing here is that you can easily get them custom-made! You can change the type of fabric too. This way you can make sure they still go with the overall style of your living room while still adding something new.
Besides the style and aesthetic element, new cushions and covers can also make your space more comfortable and cozy. Since living rooms are meant to be a place for people to come together, it's important to make them feel comfortable and welcoming!
A Gallery Wall
It’s hard to go wrong with a gallery wall! It’s a wholesome way to make your family memories the center of your space and also elevate the decor of your living room.
The great thing about gallery walls is that there is no hard and fast rule to go about them. We have always encouraged clients to display different pictures to make their living room look more elegant.
However, you can also go for a look that is more random. You also don’t have to limit yourself to pictures, you can easily add posters, wall hangings, and other wall decors!
Gallery walls have always proven to be a sure-shot way of improving a living room. They simply make your living room cozier, while allowing you to preserve some great memories.
Pick One or Do Them All!
The great thing about these 3 easy methods is that you do not have to limit yourself to one! You can easily do all three and have your living room look totally new!
By mounting your TV, you are not only improving the decor but it’s also a practical option. A mounted TV simply gives a better viewing experience. It also frees up space in your living room, making it feel bigger. You can also seek professional help if you are not sure about the process.
Adding new cushions is also a fun and easy way to add more color to your living room and to change up the style a little. It is also a relatively low-cost method compared to say changing your sofa set or buying new furniture.
Lastly, creating a gallery wall is an easy
idea. You can also DIY it with pictures and wall
decor you already own!
We hope these 3 ideas
help you improve your living room space!
