Is your lounge ready for a refresh? As this is the area for relaxing in after a busy day, it’s important that it is filled with the things you love.
To reinvigorate the room, all you need are some luxuriously decadent touches that are designed to create an indulgent space. Here are some easy ways to create an opulent living room that you’ll never want to leave.
When did you last introduce new art in your home? Whether you have recently attended exhibitions that have inspired you or you have been meaning to buy that piece you have always loved, now could be the ideal time to have a rethink as you revamp your living room. For inspiration, speak to dealers and explore what’s currently available to find the perfect fit for your home.
Bespoke bookcases and beautifully crafted coffee tables can make a huge difference to a living room. Changing up what you’ve always had by introducing something new can give it an entirely new look and feel. Try combining any wood-coloured tones of your new furniture with soft textiles to tap into the ‘Nordic Retreat’ trend for 2020.
Dig out the antique vase and old mirror from storage to make your living room totally unique. Rather than hiding away old heirlooms, you can add real sense of homeliness with your one-of-a-kind pieces that have been in your family for generations. You could even base the colour palette of the lounge on a particular piece.
Lighting can make a room look totally different. If you want to focus on the light levels in the room, speak to your interior designer as they are likely to know just the bespoke lighting brand for you. Or maybe you have come across a lighting creator whose work you adore.
Whichever sounds like you, it’s worth playing around with how you want the light to look. Investing in a table lamp means you can move it to suit, but if you’re overhauling your ceiling lights, it’s important to be happy with how the room looks with the new additions.
The right seating is essential. Think carefully about the materials that you long to recline upon and shop for the colours that suit your scheme. Decadent velvets and rich leathers lend a feeling of opulence to a room, or you might want to add something fun, such as a designer beanbag.
Transforming your living room takes time. Allow yourself to soak up the current trends and find the right fit for you.
