Add a Fresh Coat of Paint

A new color can instantly brighten up and refresh your living room. It can make it look lighter if you choose white, beige or even soft gray. All of these colors will make the room look a lot more spacious and inviting.
Bring In New Textiles
Declutter the room if necessary, and do a skip hire to remove larger items you no longer need. New textiles such as rugs and throw pillows are affordable and they make an easy update to your living room. Adding an area rug can anchor the space
You can add a lot of warmth with pillows as they can bring in pops of color and patterns to your seating area. Be sure to bring in textures and fabrics that feel cozy and match the overall style of your living.
