As we start a new year, now is the perfect time to spruce up your home and refresh your home decor. While it’s still quite damp and grey outside, it’s the most perfect opportunity to stay snug indoors and change up your interior design.
As your living room is one of the most used areas of your home (after all, this is where you spend most of your time with your family and entertain guests) it is one of the rooms that you might want to update this season.
If you’re not planning on making any particularly big changes to your home ahead of spring then there are many small changes that you can make to your living room in no time at all. There’s plenty of decor inspo online that you can use and Pinterest is always a hub boosting with great design ideas. From experimenting with new home accessories to adding some new cosy cushions to your sofa, here are some great ways that you can decorate your living room this season.
Decorate your flooring with a trendy rug
January can be a cold and somewhat dreary month, and if you have wooden floors in your living room they can make it feel even colder too. One quick and easy way to add warmth to a cold living space is by layering the floor with stylish rugs.
There are many colours and styles of rugs that you can choose from for your living room that can help you update your decor for the new year. Whether you choose a large patterned rug or a small fluffy one (or both!), rugs can help compliment your flooring and make your home feel more cosy and welcoming.
Create a cosy seating area with cushions and throws
No living room is ever complete without cosy seating where you can kick back with a glass of red wine, relax and binge watch your favourite Netflix series. Velvet sofas and checked sofas are just some of the best sofas for autumn and winter that you can still add to your living room this January. To help make these seating options more comfy and cosy, adding cushions and throws can create the perfect cosy seating area for both you and your guests. Cushions and throws come in a range of colours, so it can be useful to match them with the rest of the living room colour scheme.
Brighten up a cold evening with candles
You can decorate your home with pretty candle holders as well as scented candles anytime of the year. Not only are they stylish accessories to use on your coffee table or on your mantelpiece, but they can also add a pleasant fragrance to your home too when having guests over. Vanilla and lavender are just some popular fragrances that can make your living smell lovely this season.
Make a statement with home accessories
When decorating your home, there are many ways you can spruce up your interiors with small accessories. However, if you want to be bold and experiment, then statement accessories can help you add a touch of luxury and class to your home. From outstanding artwork to bold chandeliers, statement pieces can really stand out in your living room.
For example, there are many reasons why you should have a full-length mirror in your home as they can make your room feel much bigger, help add more natural light, and be used as a stylish statement piece.
