3. You’re not switching up the artwork
Designer Gabrielle Santiago believes that if you don’t change up the artwork in your living room on a regular basis, you’re missing out on an opportunity to fully utilize your works’ aesthetic potential. She says that if you keep the same objects for a long time, you won’t find them as appealing as they were in the beginning.
This doesn’t mean that you have to break that piggy bank and spend all your money on artwork. You can simply swap out some of your pieces. For example, you can take something from your bedroom and put it in the living room.
If you want to make a frame look more luxurious, you can replace the mats or cover them in washi tape or temporary wallpaper. It’s all about seeing what you already have in a new light or in a different decorative context.
See? You don’t need a ton of money, you only need to get a little creative!
I liked the tips, especially about furniture proportions and lighting. Thanks.
What a good variety of ideas.
I hadn’t really realized I had a themed living room. I thought SW, but it’s more AmerIndian. Plans to change it out slightly.
The first 3 ideas are the ones I’ll be implementing first. I never think I have enough pillows. They and my artwork are the “color” in the living room. But, I’ve noticed my guests always moving them off of the furniture.
You hit on the things that I’ve been taking for granted/not noticing.
Thank you.
Kitchen flooring. Vinyl or tile??
I have never heard of scones lighting before. I am assuming you mean sconses. Found most everything interesting though.
