2 Quick and Easy Ways to Update Your Living Room

by Judd Willis

Like most of the world, you may find yourself spending a lot more time at home these days. If you've noticed that your sofa is looking a little tired — or you're just tired of looking at the same old living room day after day — here are a couple of quick, easy ways to update the space.

Accessories

Some people like to redecorate their home interior with each new season, while others simply put out holiday decor a few times a year and leave the room mostly unchanged. One easy way to breathe new life into your living room is by adding new accessories. This includes things like throw pillows on your sofa and chairs, art on the walls and statement sculptures on side tables. With colder weather on the way, consider incorporating rustic wood, plaids and natural colours for fall and white with silver accents for winter.

If you don't have room in your budget for new purchases, try swapping around pieces from other parts of the house. Move a small potted plant from the garden to the side table in your living room, with a few of your favourite books stacked next to it, for a comfortable place to enjoy your morning coffee.

Chair Covers

Another way to update the look of your living room is by purchasing furniture covers. A simple white sofa cover will give the room a bright, open feeling, and throw pillows or blankets will add a splash of colour that you can change to suit your mood. Replacement chair covers are also available in a wide range of fabrics and prints, so you can pair your simple sofa cover with bright floral or striped prints on your chairs to really make them stand out.

If you have a chunky, hand-knit blanket or bohemian-style throw pillow, these have textures that blend well with a rustic autumn theme. Sleek, simple furniture covers look great with throw pillows and blankets that have a bit of shine and sparkle in them for the winter months. As an added bonus, many furniture covers are machine-washable, so if you've got a house full of young children, you won't have to worry as much about flipping the cushion to the 'clean side' if you notice a stain.

Many retailers offer a variety of home accessories and furniture covers online, so updating the look of your living room has never been easier or more convenient. Keep an eye on seasonal sales and special offers, and look for opportunities to save on shipping to maximise your budget.
