5 Ways to Dramatically Improve Your Living Room

Can’t seem to create a living room that feels quite right? Looking for some styling tips that will bring your living room up a notch? Thinking about selling your home and want it to look top notch?

In most homes, the living room is right off the entry. As such, it is part of that first impression that people have when they enter the home. Whether it is a guest or a prospective home buyer, you probably want that first impression to be a good one.

5 Ways to Dramatically Improve Your Living Room

Here are five ideas that can dramatically improve your living room.

1. Move the furniture away from the walls: The tendency is to place your furniture against the walls, but giving it a little room to breathe will make the seating area seem cozier while also making the room seem more spacious.
2. Mix old and new pieces: Using the same furniture set to furnish an entire room can make it seem a bit sterile. Try mixing and matching different pieces and styles to give your living room a more eclectic feel.
3. Keep everything low: Arranging photos and artwork lower on walls will make a room appear larger, and can also draw more attention to the pieces themselves.
4. Place a bookshelf behind the sofa: It doesn’t have to be your entire personal library. Mix and match books with knick-knacks and other items to add some depth and texture to space behind your sofa.
5. Try a smaller coffee table: Your current coffee table is probably larger than it needs to be, and it may be dominating the room. Try downsizing to a table that can still hold magazines, a centerpiece, and a few drinks, but will also give you a bit more room to move around your furniture.
