Simple Ways to Make a Statement in Your Living Space

Have you ever thought about the significance that your living room conveys? After all, it is the heart of your home. A centrally located space where you and your family converge to share laughter, stories and to create happy memories, it is also the place where you welcome guests into your house and provide them with the best of your hospitality.

In this light, is there anything you are not entirely pleased with the way your living room is? Or perhaps some areas you want to improve on to give it more of a stylish look? Luckily, you do not have to break down walls or spend a fortune on a living room makeover because all you need are just some simple ways to make a statement in that particular part of your home. Here are some to start with:

Adding an element of boldness

A very easy way to make a statement is to make a bold one! You don’t have to go all out but simply, focus on one aspect and enhance it. For instance, it could be the colour and the type of the lamp that you have chosen – it can be one that is exquisitely opulent with dangling crystals or one that is a bright red retro-style lamp hovering over the coffee table.

If you feel like experimenting with a wall, you could paint an accent wall in a bright colour to make it stand out and hang beautiful photo frames on it. Alternatively, you could choose an outstanding wallpaper to add an element of chic. You could have dozens of pretty mirrors collected from different shops or from your travels – think of the stories to tell at tea parties on your walls.

Customizing your living room

At the end of the day, this is your home, your living room and it is important that you claim it as your own in your décor. How you achieve this result is by simply allowing a bit of you, your family and what you like to seep through in the different objects you choose to display in the living room. A simple custom slipcover for your couch adds a very personalized touch to your decorating skills.

One of our customers basically requested for her IKEA Karlanda sectional slipcover to have some red contrast piping on top of her Nomad Sand fabrics. An average person wouldn’t even recognize this as IKEA and just look at her awesome kitty cat embroidery – that was made by some extra fabrics purchased from us!

Bringing your creative side to light

The fact that you are reading this article means you take interest in home improvement and ways you can try out to get amazing results in decorating your living room. There is no doubt that you are talented at something. We all have gifts to showcase and you should not be afraid to bring that creative side of you to the surface.

If baking is your forte, display lovely cupcakes in a cake stand on your coffee table. If you’ve mastered the strokes of a paintbrush, why not paint on canvas and exhibit it in your living room? Show off your green fingers by a beautiful indoor plant in one corner of the room. These are but a few examples of what you can do no matter what your skill or craft you have as a hobby.

Putting it all together

Sometimes you don’t really need a large living space nor do you need expensive or many items to fill it up. Just keep it simple and you’d be surprised at how much more you can do with lesser things.
