Posted on May 18th, 2021 by Kittle's Furniture.

If you want to design a home that allows you to express yourself, there’s no better place than the living room. Whether you’re moving into a new home or just want to make changes, your living room décor can play a major role in how this part of your home looks and feels. Come see the beautiful living room furniture displays at Indiana’s own Kittle’s Furniture  store to find new products and inspiration. Read on to discover some easy ways that you can transform the look of your living room without breaking the bank.

Change the Layout

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to transform your living space is by simply changing the layout. Rearrange your living room furniture to make it more accommodating and to help the space look larger. Draw a few different ideas on paper until you find a new layout that will give you more room and more functionality. Sofas can be placed in the center of the room rather than directly against the wall if your living room is on the bigger side. Smaller living rooms look best when your furniture is arranged around the perimeter of the room, leaving the center open. Fill in the empty spaces with an area rug or an accent chair to make it feel cozy and inviting. A simple update to your layout is an impactful way to give the entire room a whole new look.

Update Old Furniture

If your couch is worn out and no longer in style, the entire living room can feel dull and bland. Look for new items that will give the room a fresh, on-trend aesthetic. Shop for sectionals, ottomans, and accent tables that will give this room a modern touch. Look for products made in modern silhouettes or from unique materials. A sleek metal and glass coffee table paired with a mid-century accent chair will instantly give the entire room a fresh, contemporary touch. Take inventory of your living room furniture and decide which pieces can go, and which should stay. You don’t have to replace every single piece of furniture to make a huge difference. Key pieces will be enough to give the room a brand-new vibe.

Bring in Fun Décor

Empty living rooms can feel cold and uninviting. One way to transform the look is by adding some new, unique living room décor. Hang a few pieces of artwork in the room featuring a colorful design or a favorite motif. You can also design a gallery wall to give the living room an artistic touch. Hang beautiful window treatment like a pair of jewel-toned velvet panels for some new texture. Layer area rugs featured in different patterns or materials if you want to give the living room an eclectic vibe. Woven baskets, candles, and small sculpture are also excellent examples of living room décor that can make a big difference. The key is to bring in pieces that will liven things up and give the room a pop of personality.

Design a Feature Wall

Adding a feature wall to your living room might seem intimidating, but it’s an impactful way to make a total transformation. Consider adding a beautiful textured or patterned wallpaper to just one wall of the room. If you prefer something more textural, you can try some shiplap if your living space is rustic or farmhouse-inspired. Beautiful tile on one wall is another easy way to completely transform the room. Think about the colors, patterns, and textures that you like best before you start the project. If you want to start out slow, simply paint one of the walls in a different, contrasting color to completely change the way the space looks.

Incorporate Small Furniture Pieces

A colorful pouf or an upholstered ottoman is a great way to add a new, fun touch to your living room. Slender console tables can give you more surface space for table lamps and décor. Try a storage bench for additional seating and convenient storage of accessories and other items. You can also add a new pair of end tables to each side of your sofa to give the living room a lively new look without having to spend a lot of money or do a lot of work to make the change. At our living room furniture store in Indianapolis, you’ll find a range of incredible furnishings and décor that will make your living room makeover easy.
