GIVE YOUR LIVING ROOM A NEW VIBE
Revamping a living room doesn’t have to be diffi cult. With an idea in place
and some professional touches, an entirely new vibe can be achieved.
An “out with the old, in with the new” mentality can extend
to people’s visions for their homes. A home in need
of repair or renovation can serve as a catalyst to take
inventory of personal style and help make interior spaces refl ect
one’s unique vibe.
A living room can grow stale over time and often serves as a
catch-call for clothing, blankets, gadgets, and other items. Upon
recognizing a living room has seen better days, individuals may
decide it’s time to give the space a new vibe. That transformation
can start with these strategies.
Organize fi rst
Clutter frequently is the culprit behind a living room that may not
give off the vibe individuals desire. As families grow and people
add belongings, space may be at a premium. Less is more has
never been a more important concept. Remove extraneous items
before purchasing new furniture or transitioning to a new design.
You may even want to remove everything and start from scratch
before reintroducing desirable elements to the space.
Seek the assistance of professionals
Some people are adept at decorating and designing spaces. But
just as you wouldn’t perform your own medical procedures, you
should leave jobs like interior design and renovations to the professionals.
Hiring a professional interior designer and contractors
can really bring a living room together in ways homeowners may
have never imagined. These pros can build off of your ideas and
truly create a space that may be worthy of a magazine spread.
Promote wellness
You may want to consider adding natural materials in the design to
promote well-being. Eco-friendly furnishings, raw fi bers and organic
textures will create an environment from sustainable choices.
Plenty of plants also can create a welcoming environment that
helps you surround yourself with positive energy and the items
you love.
Light it up
One of the easiest ways to transform a room’s vibe is to utilize
lighting. Change draperies to allow more natural light to shine in.
Consider additional windows or skylights if yours is a particularly
dark home. If you desire to create a more vivid or cozy ambiance,
use a combination of accent, task and supplemental lighting in the
space so there are no dim corners.
Create an industrial or urban vibe
Industrial-chic design celebrates the bones of a building. It’s what
makes city lofts so appealing, with their exposed beams and brick.
Even those who live in suburbia or out in the country can give
a living room this look with subtle nods to the style. Unadorned
windows, clean lines on furniture, oversized, gallery-style art, and
metal accents can add touches of this popular look to your home.
