After many years living in your own home, you may want to spruce things up a little – it’s completely understandable! But if you are operating on a limited budget, it is important to get your priority straight. And, when it comes to choosing what rooms to renovate first, your living room should not be left behind.
In the guide below, we’ll look at a few budget-friendly home renovation strategies that can help give your living room a sophisticated and luxurious feel on a budget. Ready to get started? Let’s dive in!
Invest In A Quality Coffee Table
An excellent addition to add sophistication to your living room is a coffee table. Premium or designer options, like a marble coffee table can elevate your entire living room and create a focal point in your living room. Plus, a smartly designed coffee table will have plenty of storage room, which allows you to store away items that may create clutter, like magazines and cables. And, of course, a well-designed coffee table can be enhanced with the right decorations, including candles, magazines, and seasonal items – like pine cones, holly, and pumpkins.
Build A Mobile Bar
Next up, let’s talk about the essentials of hosting friends and family members to your home, starting with a bar. Even those who prefer a non-alcoholic drink will look forward to spending time together. Here, having a well-stocked bar can help. Of course, be sure to have the basics, like wine and beer, but also be sure to stock your bar with common alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, like juice and gin.
When it comes to establishing a well-designed bar, opting for a vintage piece can add charm to your home without overpowering your style!
Decorate With Throws And Carpets
The protagonists of your living room are undoubtedly your sofa, lamps, art, and decor. However, these items may not be the best option to add cosiness and sophistication to your living room!
That’s where throws, carpets, and well-positioned pillows come in. These additions can make the whole room feel a lot more welcoming and cosy, adding to the charm to your room. Plus, if you are hosting an overnight guest, these can enhance the cosiness and comfort of your guest room, ensuring that your friend or family member will have a comfortable night stay at your place!
Have Enough Space For Board Games
Over the past years, board games have surged in popularity. And we are not talking just about Monopoly or Risk! A wide variety of games have been released into the market, and more and more people find these the best way to spend an evening among friends. So, if you are hosting a group of people, or even just a few of your dearest friends, be sure to have at hand some of the most popular board games on the market today, including Cluedo, Pictionary, Taboo, and Ticket to Ride! So, you can meet anyone’s needs and preferences!
Use Lighting To Create The Right Ambiance
Last but not least, be sure to use the right lighting solutions to create a charming ambiance within your living room. It can be through main lights, task lights and lamps. Just be sure to create interesting layers that compliment the light signature your room enjoys through sunlight!
