With daily use, your living room will start growing familiar as the years go by. However, you can bring new life to your home with a couple of subtle changes to revitalize a room’s ambiance. Here are a few ways you can make that happen:

Add Touches of Color

Color has such a large impact that even the smallest details can change a room’s atmosphere. When it comes to pops of color, you have access to so many options: repainting the walls, hanging some artwork, adding vivid décor, and so much more.

Faux Florals

Artificial plants are great way to enliven your home with natural shades and shapes. These are especially great if you don’t have the green thumb for real plants. Whether you use a potted plant, a topiary, or a floral arrangement, you can bring nature’s artwork into your home.

Infuse Fresh Scents

Lemons are a refreshing sight amongst vintage furniture and tableware

When focusing on visuals, some people forget that the other senses can play a huge role in creating peaceful and colorful surroundings. A new scent can be powerful enough to reinvigorate your senses and keep your living room feeling new and fresh. Other than scented candles, you can imbue fragrance directly into the air with scented oils.

Rearrange your Furniture

By simply switching around your furniture placement, you can create a brand-new room without spending a dime. Pay extra attention to lighting, as it is the greatest factor of your room’s charm. However, before you go around mixing up your house’s decorations, it’s important to plan how your furniture will fit in its new arrangement.

Declutter

Over the years, some things just seem to escape their appropriate storage and pile up in more easy-to-reach areas. While convenient at times, it can leave your room looking like a storm blew through. Declutter your home by putting unused items into storage, throwing broken items out, and donating anything you might want to part with.

With these tips, we hope that your space remains fresh each year. Need more inspiration for your living room redesign? Check out our products page for a wide array of florals and candles to illuminate your home.
