Whether you’re excited about nature’s enchanting transformation, or you’re looking forward to an extra hour of spare time, daylight saving time is the perfect time to get in the spirit of fall with all its magic and celebration. This year, how about getting creative by ringing in the coziest season with a simple, one-hour living room refresher?
With just a few playful and simple ideas, you can give your living room a refresher—and have fun while doing it!
Imagination is Key
Behold: the power of rearranging! It’s the easiest way to refresh your living room, and thankfully, there’s no need to be a master of feng shui for impressive results. While function is important, don’t let it discourage you from stepping out of the box.
Experiment with pieces like a bookcase as a stylish room divider, or switch up a rug's look by placing it diagonal to your seating for a trendy look that also opens up your living room’s layout.
Still breaking in your work-from-home setup? By placing a desk behind your sofa, you can create a space-saving at-home office nook that doubles as a handy after-school homework area for the kids.
Make your new space extra special with a piece of their very own artwork, or an interactive homework sticker chart (bonus: this one will keep stickers where they belong and off your furniture). By providing your little one their very own workspace, you can get them excited about exploring the new world of e-learning.
For even more practicality, add wall storage to keep important documents and papers safely organized. You can’t go wrong with open shelves for displaying your awards, framed motivational posters, or your favorite family portrait, and wire baskets allow you to keep track of homework from Monday to Friday. Encourage the kids to make good habits by installing cubbies personalized with their name, plus wall hooks for easy jacket placement, or a peg wall that lets you decide how much storage you want and need.
Voilà! In less than an hour, you’ve reinvented your living room into a multi-functional space that you’ll be proud to lounge in or showcase during your next video work conference.
Personality is Power
A common mistake in living rooms is neglecting corners or using too much negative space, leaving your lounging area feeling empty and undone. Unlock the possibilities of your living room’s smallest areas with these one-hour project ideas!
For a truly multi-dimensional living space, try letting your colors show through the power of color-blocking! With a fresh coat of paint or a fun mosaic of frames, wall art, tapestries, or even shelving, you can create a fun focal point that brings a space to life. You’re in control of the style, though oranges, browns, even shades of pink, plum, and metallics all make a big impact, with versatility.
Fall strikes the beginning of cuddle weather, so what better way to enjoy it than bundled in a pillow pit? Pile up pillows, comforters, and a pouf, atop a rug in a corner for a cozy fort that can be enjoyed during movie night, casual reading, or your kid’s all-night slumber party. Accent with a corner lamp or trendy string lights and you have yourself a chic corner cove full of welcoming ambiance.
