Is your living room running out of life? Since this room is usually the largest space in your home, it’s the best spot to make the biggest statement of your own personal style. Try your hand at reviving and invigorating your living room using the ones below as inspiration.

1. Don’t be afraid of the dark
Try painting all of your base mouldings and window casings a dark colour. Home dwellers that are able to take a leap of faith by diverting from the traditional colours of white and off-white get handsomely rewarded.

2. In the buff
For rooms that require little or no privacy, go au naturel. Remove all drapery treatments from your windows to allow that beautiful natural light to enhance any living space.

3. King of pop art
Take the focal point away from the actual fireplace by painting it the same colour as the walls. Install artwork of your choice above and watch as your new focal point pops.

4. Shutter bug
Shutters are a spectacular way to control light and are considered an upgrade from traditional draperies. Install shutters for a classic and timeless statement, then paint them in the colour of your choice.

5. Crown jewels
Elevate your living room to royalty status by easily applying decorative crown moulding to create a noticeable presence. Add a gorgeous chandelier for that final touch of bling that might make even her majesty envious.

6. Arrange in an offbeat way
Place your furniture differently than the norm.

7. Lighten up
Illuminate boring walls by installing sconces to accentuate symmetry around any focal point. Balance and unity come together to envelop your space in light.

8. Chevron chic
Want a fresh update without spending a lot of money? Throw down an oversize chevron-patterned rug to bring a zigzag pizzazz focal point down to the floor.

9. Go high end
Couture isn’t just for clothing. Dressing your windows with floor-to-ceiling draperies will heighten your ceiling. This is a brilliant and simple fix to camouflage awkwardly sized or misplaced windows.

10. Mix and match
Create texture and visual appeal by mixing and matching favourite fabrics in one room. Stick to the theme of anything goes by combining plaids, stripes and polka dots. These patterns work wonders together when put together with intent.
