4 Living Room Remodel Ideas to Try in Your Living Rooms

Create a Focal Point

In interior design, a focus point is a feature inside the space that makes a huge difference. Common living room space focal points include:

• Coloured paint/wallpaper on one wall
• Wood Accents
• Bay window
• Built-ins
• Gallery wall
• Wood paneling

By creating a focus point in your living space, you create a sense of balance and add lasting aesthetic value.  It should face the entrance of your living room, but not necessarily your seating arrangement.

Get Creative with Lighting

A recent trend taking over interior design since about 2020 is sculptural lighting. These fixtures are formed into bold sculptural forms of different shapes and can be a focus point for your living space.

Apart from creating interest, lighting also complements natural light and contributes to your house’s mood and ambiance. Consider using the following lighting types to complete your renovation:

• Accent lighting: Lamps, sconces, and spotlights to create a warm, calming glow in specific areas
• Ambient lighting: Recessed or track lighting to adequately distribute more light across the whole space
• Task lighting: Pendant lights, floor lamps, table lamps, and under-cabinet/mirror lighting to focus light in a small area

Install Unique Living Room Flooring

One of the foundations of your living room renovation is the flooring. Much like your walls and lighting, it determines the overall look and finish of your space.

Spend ample time checking out your flooring options, which can range from vinyl and tile to hardwood wooden planks, rigid LVT, and laminate. Most importantly, your flooring choice should be durable, long-lasting, and easy to clean. In addition, think about accentuating your flooring with easy-to-clean and maintain carpets or rugs for a perfect finish.

Use painter’s tape to try out the best positions for your rugs and carpet before final installation.

Use Bold “Statement Piece” Furniture

One of the most modern design trends that makes sense is the use of bold living room furniture. Bold furniture is a general term, so practically this includes:

• Bold-coloured console table
• Colourful, oversized coffee table
• Floor-to-ceiling shelving
• Glass-topped, gold-rimmed nesting tables
• Large leather or velvet sofa
• Velvet ottoman
• Boldly-coloured front door

These statement pieces of furniture not only convey personality and interest but also serve as mini-focal points that draw in the eye. They create visual plays that bring your space to life with neutral color, texture, material contrasts, and fresh furnishings.
