You in-laws will not only be impressed, but you will have quickly finished redecorating the room, the room that has been needing a makeover for months.

Paint a Wall
No, engaging in hours of hard work painting the entire living room isn’t necessary. You only have to pick one wall, paint it a bold, intense color and make sure that it blends with some of your current accents. It can be amazing to see how much depth this small task put into a room. Doing this will add warmth and a great burst color to the room.

Can’t Afford New Furniture?
Invest in some good slipcovers if you need new furnishings but don’t have the budget for it at the moment. The sofa should have a slipcover with a solid color, accented with richly textured pillows that will bring out the freshly painted wall’s new color. Do you have a boldly patterned throw? It can be casually tossed over the back of the sofa, or a recliner or rocking chair.

Take the furniture and move it around, removing it from the walls. Group it closely in an warm arrangement that looks cozy and welcoming. If an area rug is going to be added, make sure that it includes the room’s colors and that it is centered in the middle of the grouping.

Clear the Clutter
Clutter will most often make a room seem very messy and disorganized. By removing clutter from the floors, furniture and table tops, you will be able to visually increase the size of the room! The room will look much better with its cleaner and more organized look. A general rule to follow is that a single table should never have more than three item placed on it.

Add more bursts of color to the walls to take it all a little further. Attempt to contrast and coordinate the colors of the room with simple mats or stencil designs on the wall. Three colors usually add the most interest and appeal to a room without making it look excessively complex. Finish off the job with a vase of fresh flowers and a warmly scented candle. Finishing up will mean that your living room will now be up-to-date.
