Living rooms serve as personal reflections of our preferences and lifestyle, whether for hosting or relaxation. Over time, familiar spaces can feel lackluster. Designers recommend simple, cost-effective methods for refreshing these areas, starting with decluttering. Removing outdated or heavy decor and organizing unsightly cords can dramatically enhance the living room's appeal. Designers also advocate for creating intentional decor groupings, which can add beauty and function to surfaces like shelves and coffee tables. By employing these strategies, anyone can revitalize their living environment without a significant investment.
"Less is more," says designer Sarah Brady, founder and creative director of Salt Design Company. "Removing excess items from surfaces - especially decor that feels outdated, visually heavy, or out of sync with the season - instantly refreshes a space."
Clutter also appears in another form: electric wires. Whether they're running along walls or bunched on the floor, wires can be quite an eyesore. So controlling or hiding loose cords is another way to make a difference in the overall look of your space.
If you have shelves or a coffee table in your living room, designer Rebecca Ward suggests looking for ways to form intentional groupings on these surfaces with your existing decor.
Regardless, living rooms, at their best, are meant to be go-to spaces that reflect our individual needs, hobbies, and interests.
