So you are thinking about updating your living room? Updating your living room can be an exciting process but also stressful at the same time. In order to reduce the stress, you want to try and plan as much in advance as you can. Use a spreadsheet to document everything including the costs and the quantity. Take your time and do not rush anything as this will reduce the risk of any errors occurring. 

Depending on your budget there are a number of things you can do to update your living room. You can add new artwork to the walls as an affordable option or add a mirror to make the room look bigger. Alternatively, you can purchase new furniture or update the flooring as a bigger purchase - you may need  popcorn ceiling removal if you want to change the style. To help you with updating your living room, below we have put together three different suggestions.

 Artwork 

When it comes to updating your living room, adding artwork is an affordable option and one that can be done quickly. Depending on your interests, you can order professional artwork or use replicas to update your living room. Artwork is a great way to add personality to your room, color and fit small spaces - after all, it can come in all shapes and sizes. When purchasing artwork, make sure you look at the reviews and confirm it’s original if you are looking to purchase artwork from a professional painter. 

Purchase feature pieces

Champagne buckets make a great feature piece, and so do console tables and flowers. By purchasing a feature piece for your living room you can add a completely new dynamic. Feature pieces add color, make the room look bigger and present something that you can impress your guests with. There are many things that you can purchase as a centerpiece, so before buying, make sure you do your research and make sure it matches the decor of your room. If you are unsure about what to purchase as a feature piece, you can use one of my printables or search Instagram or Pinterest for suggestions, 

New furniture may be required 

At the end of the day, you may have to face the fact that new furniture is required. Yes, it’s expensive, but you can be sure that it will completely change the feel of your living room. Plus, searching for new furniture is exciting! You can visit plenty of shops as well as searching online for new pieces that you think will suit your living room. When searching for new furniture, try and match it with your current decor, otherwise, you will need to redecorate to match it with your walls and flooring.
