Add a few soft furnishings

It’s always possible to find beautifully soft throws and cushions that add both colour and comfort to a space, and which won’t break the bank. With a bit of shopping around, you’ll find rugs and other soft furnishings that add a hint, splash or puddle full of colour to your living room, as per your desire!

Add a picture ledge

If DIY isn’t your thing, simply ask a friend or neighbour to help you put up a picture ledge in your living room. Simple, narrow shelves that would be suitable for holding photographs and artwork are relatively cheap and easy to find, and give you the opportunity to brighten up a room or add an element of your personality, without having to shell out on an expensive masterpiece. Swap the images as often as you wish to give friends and relatives something to talk about when they come to visit you!

Paper a wall

It’s not necessary to decorate the entire living room to give it a completely new look, in fact, you need often only transform one wall for it to have the desired effect. With so many bright, bold and stylish wallpaper designs to choose from, papering one wall so that it makes a real statement, is a fantastically affordable way to jazz up a dull or uninspiring space.

Paint some furniture

Many homeowners are jumping aboard the furniture painting gravy train, and it’s easy to see why. By simply adding a splash of colour to a tired or scratched piece of furniture such as a chest of drawers or side table, you can bring it to life, and help bring the entire room to life, too. Go for a colour that completely contrasts, or one that complements the décor of the room; it’s your choice, you can be as adventurous as you wish!

Arrange bunches of dried flowers

Fresh flowers can become pretty costly, especially if we want them in our homes every day of the week. With dried flowers, on the other hand, you can achieve that same uplifting burst of colour and calm, for a fraction of the price, and guess what, you don’t ever need to replace them!

Add a chair

Occasional chairs are an affordable way not just to add more seating to your living room, but to add some personality and even colour, too. Pick up a couple of chairs from a car boot sale, antique store or charity shop, and add brightly coloured cushions to complete the effect.

Strapped for cash? Worry not, because with these thrifty ideas, you can update your living room and make it a wonderfully creative, calming and vibrant space that you look forward to spending time in.
