The living room is a focal point of your home and a place to relax. Your remodeling project is an opportunity to create the living room you always imagined and make it feel more inviting, whether you’re enjoying some downtime or welcoming guests. Follow the tips below to get the most from your living room.

4 Ideas for Living Room Remodeling 

1. Make It Seem Bigger

To make the living room appear larger, you can remove a wall, as long as it isn’t load-bearing, and utilize space from an adjoining room. If you don’t have that option, you can still take simple steps to create a more spacious atmosphere; for example, painting the ceiling white gives the impression of a bigger room. Also, be economical with storage by adding recessed wall units.

2. Focus on Lighting 

remodelingUsing statement lighting, such as a chandelier or pendant light, will also make a living room look bigger. Lighting can draw attention to other statement pieces as well. For example, carefully placed picture lights can draw attention to a piece of artwork. 

3. Change the Color

Your remodeling project is the perfect time to make the living room feel bright and fresh. If you love bold colors, try an accent wall while using a lighter tone for other walls. An accent wall adds an extra design element and brings the room together. For example, the accent wall can use the same color as the furniture or accessories.

It’s best to stick to two or three shades overall to prevent the room from looking too busy.

4. Think About Fan Placement 

Ceiling fans provide an energy-efficient way to stay cool and can be attractive features in your living room. However, you’ll need to match the fan placement to the layout of the room.

Living rooms usually have a single ceiling fan in the center. But some people feel uncomfortable sitting directly beneath a fan, so don’t position sofas or chairs underneath. If you have a large or L-shaped living room, two fans may balance the space better.
