How to Refresh your Living Room

Is your living room feel stale and boring? Refresh it with these three simple steps!  Sometimes rooms need a complete re-do but often it's just time for a fresh look. Whether you're looking for a permanent change or just something different for the season, switching out some accents can completely change the look of your room.

Fresh Pillows

While most sofas come with a set of pillows, we're seeing a new trend of layering pillows upon pillows on sectionals and larger sofas.  No matter how many pillows you prefer, it's easy to purchase new pillows, or new pillow casings, in a fresh new or favorite fabric.  Using new pillows on your existing sofa gives it a breath of fresh air and can dramatically change the look of your room - if you want it to!

Fresh Rug

There's no denying the fact that the perfect area rug can tie together a room!  Placed on top of hardwood or tile floors, an area rug warms up a room.  Rugs help define spaces within your room, even if you're layering one on top of carpet.  If you're looking to lighten or darken your room, a rug is the perfect way to do so quickly and easily.  Rugs are also an easy way to add color into a neutral room.

Fresh Flowers

Finish your beautiful new look with some fresh flowers!  End tables, coffee tables, console tables and beyond are all yearning for a beautiful vase filled with fresh florals.  Pick some up on your grocery run tonight or at the farmer's market this weekend.  No matter how you style your flowers, the fresh scent and new color will add the perfect texture in your living room design.
