#1 Unique Art 

A one-of-a-kind work of art is one solution to add a burst of unique flare to your living room. This could be a single, large painting, a photograph on canvas of your favorite outdoor space, or a gallery wall showcasing your favorite prints, photos, or even postcards. Rearrange or swap out pieces as often as you like to keep your space fresh and dynamic.


#2 Artsy Wall Decals 

Wall decals can be replaced and repositioned, so they’re easy to apply and remove without damaging your walls.

Be sure to test your decal in an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn’t leave lines or adhesive residue. 


#3 Chic Removable Wallpaper

For a more dramatic transformation, consider using removable wallpaper. This trendy decor option is available in an array of textures and patterns, allowing you to create an accent wall that makes a statement. The best part? When it's time for a change, simply peel it off without leaving any residue behind.


#4 Decorative Shelving

Floating shelves provide both style and functionality to your living room. Arrange them creatively with books, plants, decorative items, and framed photos that showcase your personality. These shelves are easy to install and can be removed with minimal patching when you're ready to rearrange.


#5 Layered Rugs

Enhance the cozy atmosphere of your living room by layering rugs. This helps define an area with an open floor plan while adding, depth, texture, and personality. Plus, it's an easy way to incorporate color and pattern without making any permanent changes. The trick is to mix sizes, textures, and patterns but tie them together with a complementing style, shape, or color.  


#6 Stylish Lighting

Layering a variety of light sources can actually help amplify the look of natural light, so you can take further advantage of those vaulted ceilings by strategically placing floor and table lamps around your living room. Additionally, an eclectic or quirky lighting piece can make a statement that reflects your style and personality.


#7 Mirrors for Illusion

Mirrors create the illusion of more space, and they are also terrific for amplifying natural light by bouncing it around and drawing it into darker corners. Hang a statement mirror or create a gallery wall of smaller mirrors to add depth to your living room.


#8 Accent with Cushions and Throws

Do you have a basic sofa or chair you’d like to revamp? If you’re not skilled in reupholstering furniture, you can easily inject a dash of style and color with a cushion or throw blanket. Many home stores now organize decor and accessories by color to help you easily locate all offerings in the shades you love. Plus, they are relatively inexpensive and easy to swap out according to season or mood. 


#9 Indoor Plants

You can plant them in unique or quirky pots and place them on decorative plant stands or use hanging planters to complete the look.
