Redecorating Your Living Space? Keep These Tips in Mind

It may seem a little strange to define a room's purpose, considering each room's name connotes its function, but dig a little deeper. Your living room is for living your best life, but what does that truly mean?

To some, it might mean casual conversation with friends or a good place to read your paperback novels. For others, it may mean watching movies. And for some, it could be a space to play games.

Identifying the purpose of your room establishes your objective. It clarifies what you need to do to the room. If your living room is meant to be a space to share with friends, how can you move things around to best-fit people comfortably? Do you need to remove furniture? Are you missing anything, like an end table?

Once you define the purpose of a room, the pieces of your vision will begin to fall into place, until voila! Your room is everything you wanted.

When it comes to placing your furniture, give it some careful consideration before moving your items in or rearranging. Even something as simple as taking a few measurements beforehand can save you time and hassle. This is especially true for buying new items. Before you finalize your purchase, make certain your new addition will fit in the space you want it in.

Also, keep in mind that couches and chairs are big focal points in a room, so damaged, outdated, or drab looking pieces can put a damper on your aesthetic in no time. Invest in something nice that will stand the test of time. Most sofas are meant to last about eight years, so avoid trendy options that will look tacky a year or two from now.

It may seem smart to play it safe and arrange your room like it came out of a magazine, but who can actually relax in a place like that? This is your unique space, so be sure to incorporate pieces of you and your loved ones throughout it.

Family pictures, precious heirlooms, souvenirs from family trips, your favorite books, and your child’s artwork are just some of the many things you can incorporate that will make your house feel homier.

Choosing a paint color (or multiple) can be a time-consuming and overwhelming process and all too often people wind up with something that they do not actually love. It is not uncommon for the paint to look different than you imagined it, especially when you are basing the end result off of a tiny patch of paper from the hardware store.

Get some samples, paint some swatches on the wall, and take your time to ensure you get a color you can be happy with for the long haul. In the end, you’ll be glad you didn’t rush into anything.
