We’ve all looked at living room furniture and felt a pang of jealousy over a fantastic design. In fact, the average American consumer has said they’d be willing to spend up to $2,200 to redecorate their living room.

Luckily, you don’t need to hire a professional designer to get the same professional vibes in your own space. Here are five steps to help take your living room from drab to fab.

1. Bust out a bold area rug
   Area rugs are known for being a great way to separate a space within a space. But area rugs can also help to create a cohesive look. Bold area rugs, in particular, help to establish a space while bringing in a substantial amount of color. This can be especially great if you have neutral-colored furniture.
2. Bring in the living room furniture
   Once you’ve used an area rug to establish the living room space, bring in your furniture. Consider choosing pieces that have different but complementary styles and shapes. This works well with living room furniture that’s neutral-colored because they all blend together like a furniture set, but with a sense of added depth.
3. Display your personality
   You don’t need to buy a whole new set of throw pillows to bring out your personal style in your living room. Instead, consider displaying personal pieces like family heirlooms, paintings, and plants.
4. Don’t forget your curves
   It can be tempting to leave your living room sporting a series of solid lines. But this type of design can actually harden the look you’re going for. Consider softening your living room design with some curves such as a circular mirror.
5. Add some texture
   It’s easy to forget about texture when you’re so focused on balance and color. Texture adds that extra bit of comfort and layered depth to a space. For instance, if you’re really into the color blue but want some variation, a series of blue throw pillows with sequins, faux fur, and different fabrics would work wonders.

Whether you’re looking to redecorate your living room, bedroom, or outdoor space, a great design starts with great furniture. For more information on the living room furniture or high-end outdoor furniture San Diego can offer you, contact Design Kollective today.
