The kitchen is often called the heart of the home. And it’s true: The kitchen is where we come together after a long day to eat and cook, and share with one another. But if the kitchen is the heart of the home, the living room is the blood running through it. It’s the central place we gather to celebrate, listen to music, watch movies or read a good book, relax and take a nap. And because it’s often the centerpiece to a house, it serves as the foundation for your interior style, which can completely transform how a home feels. We all dream of that luxury living room—something straight out of a designer magazine or coffee table book. But what if we told you it doesn’t have to cost you thousands to get that fabulous look?
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: It’s all in the details. Something as simple as the color of your walls can reshape a room’s ambiance, light, and comfort. Often, the word “luxury” is associated with a high price tag or glitz and sparkle, but really, it’s so subjective! “Luxury” can mean whatever feels elevated and beautiful to you. Because ultimately, converting your living room into a luxurious space is all about what colors, designs, and textures make you feel most elegant. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Fashion an Interesting Fireplace
You might think of a fireplace as something that’s difficult to personalize, but switching up the face of your fireplace can really transform your space. You can go bold and modern with a custom pattern or even subtle and rustic with a wood tone. Don’t forget to add the mantel decor, too. If you don’t have a traditional fireplace, you could always try an electric fireplace, too!
Mix In Colors and Your Own Creative Touch
Another simple but effective change can be to give your features a fresh coat of paint or a fun textured or patterned wallpaper. Don’t be afraid to experiment with color! Something that contrasts with the surrounding walls can turn a previously nondescript set of shelves or a boring fireplace into a highlight feature.
Sit Back and Cozy Up
The best kind of seating combines comfort and style together. If you want something cozy and cushy, yet also modern and light, then don’t settle for anything less than an accent chair or a plush sofa that fits all your needs. You’re going to want to unwind and relax (and so will your guests) when the seating looks this comfy.
