When your living room needs to be refreshed, one of the easiest ways to make your space look completely new is by changing the furniture. Updates to your living room furniture will not only bring a new look to the area, but it will also improve your home’s comfort and appeal. Here, the team at Furniture Classics in Anchorage, AK, explains how.

For an easy update to your home, consider changing your living room furniture. Here are five ways to refresh your space:

• Sofas: A new sofa is a huge asset in a living room update. The sofa tends to be a central point in the room, providing an important seating area as well as comfort and style. Whether you choose a sectional or you opt for a standard size, the look and feel of a new sofa provides instant results to your redesign.
• Accents: New side tables and coffee tables can change the overall décor. Choose materials different from previous sets. For example, if you had a more rustic look prior to the redesign, try a different finish of wood or go completely in the other direction with a modern feel. Add new, colorful throw pillows, and don’t forget accessories like lamps and art for the walls.
• Change Focus: If your living room furniture was originally arranged around a television or central seating area, try picking another focal point like a fireplace or large window. You can also divide the room into various conversation places. As long as there is one central focus, smaller zones won’t clutter the space.
• Location: Try pulling your new home furniture away from walls. Keeping pieces pinned against walls is less interesting than arranging them into intimate areas that also show off your new furniture’s details.
• Traffic Flow: Set up your room to create a sensible yet inviting traffic pattern. Make sure there is plenty of space for people to walk through and sit comfortably. When placing tables, ensure they are set close enough for easy access, they aren’t too small or too large for the space, and they don’t interfere with movement.
