Whenever people feel like they need to refresh their homes, they usually start with the living room. One of the reasons behind this is the fact that this is one of the most public areas of the home. It’s the place where you welcome your guests and the area where the entire family spends the majority of their free time.

Therefore, it’s quite understandable that you want to use this area of your home to reflect your personal style as much as possible. In order to be able to do that properly, you will have to do some initial planning. Measure out your space and make sure you know exactly how much space you’re working with. Additionally, consider what you want to add to the space and create a preliminary budget. Finally, the time comes to start decorating.

Sounds easy, right? But what if you don’t know where to begin? Check some of these ideas out.

Simplify your design

No matter how well you’ve thought everything through and no matter how much all of the décor pieces you’ve chosen to display mean to you, if you over-accessorize your living room, you will be left with a space that just looks crowded and messy. That’s why you should try to simplify your style as much as possible and do your best to keep all the accessories minimal. By doing so, you will enable each design element to shine instead of having one overpower the other.

Choose statement wall art

Once you’ve decluttered your living room décor, it’s time to create a focal point. There are certainly a lot of ways you can do so. From creating an elaborate gallery wall to using bold paint or wallpaper to create a statement wall, there are plenty of options to choose from. However, if you are going for a more luxe vibe in your home, you should consider hanging an oversized piece of wall art. If you are looking to get such a piece to create a luxe vibe yet you don’t necessarily want to, or can, spend a fortune, hit your local flea markets and thrift stores. Chances are that you will easily find something that fits your aesthetic for only a fraction of the price.

Go sleek with your window treatments

To continue on the sleek, sophisticated vibe, you should definitely reconsider your window treatments. In a luxe living room, there really is no room for heavy, elaborate curtains and layered, stuffy drapes. Instead, you should go for sleek and elegant roller blinds. The fact that these nifty window treatments nowadays come in so many different styles and designs speaks volumes about their popularity.

Hide your TV

Additionally, do know that nothing can date a room as fast as outdated technology can? And even if your TV is not decades old, it will still lower the overall style of the space. That’s why you should try and hide it from immediate sight. An interesting idea would be to mount your TV on a wall and add an interesting empty picture frame around it. This way, when it’s turned off, it won’t draw too much attention from the rest of the room’s design. On a similar note, make sure you hide all the electrical cables away from immediate sight as well, as they too create a visual mess, which is not something you want to have in your luxurious abode.

Pay attention to your rug(s)

Finally, when choosing the ideal rug layout for your living room, you can never go wrong with the layered look. For this, you will need a neutral rug—make sure it’s durable and easy to maintain to work as a base of your seating arrangement. Aside from that one, you can also get a smaller area rug and layer it on top of the first one. The smaller rug can feature some interesting patterns and colors, and can even be of a different shape than the base rug.

So, if you’re looking to up the luxe vibe in your living room, give some of these ideas a go. Not only will they breathe new life into your space, but they also don’t cost a fortune yet offer a lot in terms of style and coziness.
