Are you tired of your living room furniture and decor not evoking a sense of enthusiasm every time you stop in to lounge? If your living room doesn’t inspire you, then it might be time to add a statement piece into the mix. And because it’s officially the fall season, why not get creative with a simple way to transition your living room furniture and decor from summer to autumn? Whether you’re looking for subtle color palette change or an entirely new piece of furniture, we’ve come up with a few ways to add an element of boldness into your living room during the fall time. So, are you ready to take your living room to the next level?
1. Colorful Couches
Color can instantly transform any room. An entirely white-walled room with neutral colors may be considered plain, but when you add a single vibrantly-hued piece of furniture or an accent wall with eye-catching wallpaper, it’s suddenly very interesting. A pumpkin colored sofa, for example, would be the perfect statement piece, especially during the fall season. It’s bright, festive, and creates a focal point for your living room.
If orange is too bold of a color for your taste or you would prefer a shade that would make more sense throughout the entire year, we suggest going for a marigold or apricot for more subtlety.
2. Pillow Power
Add a pillow to a couch, chair, or bed and it instantly screams “cozy.” But add a uniquely-shaped pillow to your furniture and not only do you get a comfy seating area, you get a show-stopping piece of decor in your living room. Don’t just go with the normal shapes when searching for the perfect throw pillows – go for an oblong pillow that will both compel and assist with lumbar support. Maybe stash a few circle pillows under the living room coffee table to serve as floor cushions while your kids do some school homework or where you can enjoy a hot cup of joe in the morning. Don't be afraid to add various pillow shapes and sizes if you can’t just choose just one style! The more the merrier!
3. Let in the Light
With the season change from summer to fall, the days end earlier and it starts getting darker faster. So as you fix your living room up, think about the amount of light you have flowing into your space – it can make all the difference in your living room’s ambience. If there are barely any windows letting the natural light into your space, the room will get dark which can feel depressing. The way to fix that situation is by adding light fixtures with LED lightbulbs to brighten up the room. LED lightbulbs are energy-efficient and emit a bright light that doesn’t heat up like a regular incandescent lightbulbs.
Get bold with your light fixtures by installing a dramatic chandelier or industrial pendant to really illuminate the space.
Don’t wait around to design your home exactly the way you want to – now is the time! Give that statement piece charm or pop of boldness to your living room so that when the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, you’ll be ready to show it off to all your friends.
