A living room is often one of the most used areas in the house because of the multitude of functions it has to fulfill: it\u2019s where we entertain guests, relax, play games, and socialize. Some living rooms are also used for watching television, eating, and homework. Here are a few ideas on giving your living room design a quick refresh without breaking the bank. Because a living room remodel doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be a major overhaul – a minor facelift might be just the thing!

Sometimes, all a room needs is a new layout. By moving your furniture around \u2013 or even moving your living room to another room in your home \u2013 you can get an entirely new look. A living is usually centered around something like a television or a fireplace, so that should be your starting point. If you have a fireplace, you won\u2019t have too many options regarding the configuration of the room. But you will be able to rearrange the furniture at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If however, your central point is the television, then take a long hard look at the room to decide if the TV is really in the best possible place. Cabling can be rerouted without too much hassle, so make sure that you are happy with an optimal position and then arrange your furniture around it accordingly.

Paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to give a room a facelift. Whether you decide to paint all the walls, one wall as a focal, above the dado, or below it, paint has transformative properties with some serious bang for buck. Try having contrasting colors above and below the dado rail, like a dark grey below with crisp white above. And if you don\u2019t have a dado rail, use painter\u2019s tape to create a line 3 feet from the floor. By painting the areas below and above the line in different colors, you can create the same visual effect.<\/p>\n\n\n
