Does your living room feel stale and uninspired? If so, it might be time to renovate to bring it back to life. While you might initially focus on buying new furniture or upgrading your entertainment center, all you need to do is update your walls to get the results you want. Freshening up your walls is a simple, yet effective way to give your living room a fresh new look. This can be done with a new feature piece or with a complete renovation.
This guide will provide you with some tips and tricks on how to revitalize your living room walls. You can apply these methods to other rooms in your home as well.
Add a new coat of paint
Perhaps the most obvious way is to completely change the look of your walls with a fresh coat of paint. If your walls are too dull and neutral, consider spicing up them with a splash of vibrant color. Or you can opt for an exciting two-tone paint job. Whichever option you choose, it is recommended that you consult with professional painters. Yes, this is a job that a normal person can do on their own. However, a reputable painting company can do the job to a high standard of quality – one that will take your living room interior to the next level.
Create a feature wall
Instead of zoning on every wall in the living room, you could go for one too. Feature walls designed to stand out from the rest have become increasingly popular in recent years. In addition to the visual impact, this popularity is mainly due to the endless possibilities. You could go the easy route and just have the feature wall a different color from the others in the room. Alternatively, you can choose to get a lot more inventive, for example with a stone element or energetic wallpaper. Aside from being a different color, it can even add extra texture and depth to the wall. For inspiration, The Spruce has an article with many examples of functional walls.
Go green
What better way to bring life to your living room than with some houseplants? While most people think of putting them in a pot and spreading them around the room, hanging them on the wall is a good idea. Wall plants or vertical gardens are great for adding color, texture, and focus all in one. You can go with a creeping vine as an easier alternative.
Decorated them with art
If plants aren't to your liking, you can add some eye-catching touch to your walls with some artwork. The great thing about hanging art is that you can place it practically anywhere on the living room walls – and you can work with multiple pieces. The diversity is another positive. From a landscape screen to movie posters, there is something for every taste.
