Updating The Sofa
Consider a new sofa or love seat. Your couch is likely one of the key focal points in your living room.
If you’re like me, it’s where you spend a great deal of your time.
But, is it sagging in the middle?
Has it faded in the sunlight? Has your cat scratched it up?
Maybe the color just isn’t working anymore?
It may be time to consider purchasing a new one. If you had a neutral color before, why not consider a bright red or navy to add some pizzazz?
If you had a bold but slightly outdated color, consider how a neutral could open up new possibilities for your living room.
New Slipcovers
If a new sofa isn’t in your budget, consider buying new slipcovers. They’re more affordable and offer the easy ability to change the look of your room without going all-out on new furniture.
If you had a dark covering before, consider something more neutral. You can also re-cover your furniture if you don’t find slipcovers that meet your needs.
Another way to update your sofa is to try new throw pillows or a throw blanket. In bold colors or an eye-catching pattern, this can take your living room from outdated to updated in minutes.
New Table
Have you had your coffee table for a long time? Maybe it’s time for a change. A new type of wood, different finish, or even metal can make all the difference in a room.
Affordable coffee tables like this one instantly update your living room!
If you’ve had light-colored pine or oak, consider a darker cherry or mahogany.
If you had antiques, consider something more modern.
If you had glass, consider metal.
Rustic Coffee Table with Metal Frame and Storage Shelf
Some of the best updates are substituting a traditional coffee table for something more unexpected – a bench, or a trunk, perhaps?
Again, if buying new isn’t within your budget, you can also update what you already have. A fresh coat of paint over that flea market find is an easy way to change the look of a piece.
If your children or pets have added scratches to your wood items, you can sand them down and refinish them, or just go over them with a furniture polish that includes a liquid scratch cover.
Furniture without scratches? Instant update.
Finally, consider adding an interesting vase full of fresh-cut flowers or a centerpiece filled with colorful stones to update your coffee table.
Side Chair
Whether you update your room to include a colorful side chair or a leather chesterfield-style chair, it’s sure to make a difference.
You can play around with the placement, too. Adding a new chair might inspire you to rearrange the rest of your furniture, adding to the new updated look of your room.
Ottoman
A stylish ottoman can update your home, and many of the latest ottomans also double as storage devices for items like video game controls, remotes, and other items you may want out of sight.
A bright floral pattern, bold stripes, or a leather ottoman can give your room the change you’re looking for.
If your living room needs an update, consider a few well-placed furniture items and accessories that are cheap and easy.
You may find that your home has a whole new makeover.
Very nice suggestions. We’ll be getting a new sofa soon, and I know if we choose wisely it’ll add a different feel and look to our home.
