4 Easy Ways To Add Character To Your Living Room

The easy part of designing your living room is the furnishing part. The hard part is making it your own. Initially, your home is the reflection of your personality. After putting in your loveseat, rug and table, what goes next? Your style, your character. 

To the Walls 

Many people fail to take advantage of the walls in a living space. One simple colorful wall can make the living room give its ‘wow’ factor. In a room full of neutrals, the green wall does and will leave your guests amazed. 

It’s not all about color when it comes to the wall. If you don’t want to paint one of your walls a different color, make it into something else, such as a picture wall. A picture wall is popular in today’s modern households. Most people have 8 x 8 inch frames. These can be color pictures, meaningful pictures such as of family or pets, or even white and black pictures. A little insight on your life and what matters to you most. Also a way to showcase your family or interests. 

Look in the Mirror 

Adding mirrors in your living room can add a lot of life. Along with bright lights, the reflections bounce the brightness of outside through the windows or inside lights onto the mirrors. The mirrors make the living room space more spacious and comfortable. Giving off that happy feeling like when the sun hits your face. Light always brings joy. 

It may seem impossible to make your living room look bigger than what it is, but it’s not impossible. As the mirrors make it look more spacious in the house, it gives off the look of being bigger. 

Light Action 

Just as the mirrors can help make your living room look and feel brighter, changing your curtains can too. Windows are great. You can open them up and get a little breeze going, but it’s also wonderful when the natural light from outside shines through the window and beams inside your home. Something about a beautiful light that can brighten your day. Simply opening your curtains can make a big difference. 

What about a chandelier? A beautiful chandelier can and will have your guests talking about it the whole day. A chandelier catches attention and is just overall an attractive look. 

Texture Choice 

From soft to hard or leather or cloth, your furniture pieces will always play a key role in giving your living room its own eccentric look. Check out our Isabella Dual reclining sofa or Kennedy gray chofa. Either choice is great and mixing your textures up will give the living room a diverse and peculiar look. Alongside your leather or cloth couch, throw on some fleece blankets or even textured throw pillows. Add velvet, silk, wool and linen. Your furniture will have that beautiful and personal look and feel.
