Beautifying the rooms of your home and bringing them a new atmosphere does not necessarily imply a substantial budget and effort.
There are some easy, convenient, and inexpensive equipment and, above all, heaps of ideas, and you will bring the touch of elegance or originality you want to your home.
Painting, cushions, plants, lamps, or even a mirror, discover six tips from interior designers for decorating your living room at a low price.
1. A section of colored wall
A little paint is enough to decorate your living room at a low price.
Paint a wall section of the room in a bright color different from the shades of the other walls or, on the contrary, close to the other colors in order to create a monochrome.
This change will bring a more dynamic, different atmosphere to your living room. If you like originality, you can also create geometric shapes, checkerboards, or color stripes, always on just one of your walls.
2. Cushions in several colors
An assortment of cushions on your sofa is a good way to decorate your living room at a low price.
Indeed, cushions are generally not very expensive and can brighten up the central element of your room: the sofa.
Try to vary the shades, plain or patterned colors, in order to brighten up the living room. To save more, you can simply change the covers of your cushions.
Only small difficulty: you have to mix the colors while maintaining a certain harmony with the decoration of the place.
3. Plants in your living room
How about going green?
At least in your living room.
A few flowers and other plants will bring a touch of nature to your room without lightening the wallet.
Green plants have a double advantage: in addition to being pleasant to look at, they also make it possible to clean up the place.
Similarly, you can take seasonal flowers that will bring a touch of color to your natural decoration. Cactus, bonsai, ficus etc. – it’s up to you to decide which plants will fit best into your living room.
4. Painted or styled furniture
Like your wall, painting your furniture will allow you to decorate your living room at a low price.
An ideal trick to give them a second life or bring a new atmosphere to the room without changing your furniture.
If you want to save yourself the painting, another economical solution is available to you: customize your furniture using masking tape, a decorative adhesive.
Frieze, or shapes of all kinds, easily brings a graphic touch to all the furniture in your living room.
5. New light fixtures
Decorating your living room at a low price is good, but it requires good light to showcase all your work.
Indeed, light has all its importance in creating and feeling an atmosphere.
Even if nothing beats sunlight, you should be able to find “classic” lamps, hanging lamps, or wall sconces for a very reasonable budget in order to make your new decor shine.
6. Mirrors on the wall
Small designer mirrors to be fixed to the wall, large classic mirrors to be placed, or even, why not, several small mirrors assembled or scattered on your walls…
Depending on your desires and budget, all the possibilities are available to bring a reflective touch to your living room.
Mirror, therefore, is an accessory that, in addition to its decorative aspect, will give the illusion of enlarging the room. This is a good decorative idea, especially if your living room is a small area.
