The living room is generally the main room in a residence. Its location in the middle of the residence and its function as a gathering space make the family room the center of activity.
As the center of the house, the living room is also the center of attention. Therefore, you want to decorate the main room more special and luxurious than other rooms.
For this, you don’t have to go through the hassle of remodeling or buying new furniture. Apart from the high cost, remodeling or replacing new furniture does not guarantee that your living room will look more ‘expensive’.
You can build a luxurious and elegant atmosphere without having to spend a lot of money, just by adding a touch of luxury. Follow these tips.
Lighting
Choose the right lighting. If the interior concept of your home is modern minimalist, you can use ceiling lights. These lights are usually embedded hidden on the edge of the ceiling.
Use several ceiling lights so that they provide beautiful lighting when turned on. Use small power for several lights so that it is more efficient.
If you want to emphasize the classic impression, you can choose to use a chandelier. To save your budget, you can buy used chandeliers that are widely sold in antique stores.
Carpet
Don’t leave your living room floor bare. Add a large carpet. Carpets have their own power to give a luxurious and elegant impression to a space. Customize the carpet motif with the theme of your living room.
Flower Vase
Besides beautifying the appearance of the room, flowers can give an elegant impression to a space. You can choose lily, orchid, or rose and place it in a tall vase in the center of the living room.
Artwork
Embedding artwork in a room adds a ‘classy’ impression to the room. You can display paintings on the walls of the living room or place them on the cabinet.
Besides paintings, you can also display other art installations. But not too many, just 2-3 artworks.
Stack of books
If you have an open television shelf that is still empty, add it by putting some stacks of books such as novels, encyclopedias, and so on. Stacks of books in the living room can build an elegant and intellectual impression of the owner of the residence. You can also place a stack of books on the center table.
Fabric accents
To create a different look, you can add fabric accents to the sofa. Place them diagonally on the back or cushion of the sofa. The fabric motif can be adjusted to the theme of the room. Fabric accents can give a luxurious and modern impression to a space.
Feather pillowcase
Decorate your sofa cushions using feather pillowcases (currently sold in department stores). You don’t have to use feather pillowcases on all of your sofa cushions, just 1-2 pillows from a pile of pillows.
Feather accents are a small thing, but they quickly add a sense of luxury to a space to the eye of the beholder.
