Spring is the perfect time to brighten up your home, the days are getting longer, the Sun is shining more, so it’s a perfect time to capitalise on this, by bringing some extra life into the room you spend the most time in, the living room!

You likely spend a significant part of every day in your family room, watching TV, playing games with the kids and snuggling up on the sofa, so why not start your new year spruce up here. So today we’ll be going through 6 great ways you can bring a new lease of life to your family room.

1. Rearrange The Furniture.

Moving around furniture is a great way to add some wow to your living room, although it may sound like a small change, it can have a big impact on a room. Just simply moving a few bits like your sofa, coffee table & TV stand around can create new space in the room, as well as letting you change the general flow of the room.

Furthermore, any visitors to your house are sure to notice the change when they enter the room and surely compliment you on your interior deco prowess. You can even go a step further than just rearranging the room and try to make everything in the room align with Feng Shui making your room more peaceful and spiritual.

• Hang Some Art

Art is always a welcome addition to a family room, having a few paintings hanging up will make the room far more visually engaging and even give you a talking point with guests. Just make sure that whatever art you hang up, matches the overall aesthetic of your room, if you have red walls, maybe a big green painting isn’t the best choice.

You don’t even have to shell out for some fancy art if you, your partner or one of your little ones have an artistic flair, why not hang up something they’ve made. It’ll be sure to be a personal touch to your room that will always remind you of great memories.

• Get Some New Blinds

There’s nothing worse in the in Spring & Summertime than having the sun blasting directly into your eyes making it impossible to see, or directly onto your TV making whatever is on a blur. This is even worse with curtains as you have the choice of being blinded by the light, or plunging your room into darkness as curtains are very on/off in how they deal with the sun.

This makes blinds the perfect choice in the Summer, you can control how much light you let into the room, not enough to blind you but not too much as to cut out all the light coming into your room. There are so many types of blinds to choose from as well, so there’s surely a set of blinds that fits perfectly in your room, maybe some nice Oak Blinds for a rustic look or some Roman Blinds for a more classy feel.

• Revamp A Coffee Table Or Unit

Now, this is a fun DIY task, rather than taking on the challenge of painting the whole room, operate on a smaller scale and paint a piece of wooden furniture. This will make whatever you choose to revamp look completely new, maybe the old wooden IKEA coffee table you’ve had for years can have a quick lick of paint to make it look vibrant and new.

Also, when you’re just painting a small piece of furniture, rather than shelling out lots of money for expensive paint, you should be able to get by with a couple of sample cans of paint in your desired colour, even Dulux do sample tins for a very low price & even now come with free delivery, so go ahead and bring some new colour to a bit of furniture.

• Get A New Sofa Throw

Getting a new sofa is expensive to say the least, so if your sofa is looking a bit tired rather than going through all the money & effort of replacing it, get a new throw for your sofa. This will cover up the sofa with something new, making it look like a whole new piece of furniture, also whilst it’s still spring it can get cold quickly in the evening, making a throw excellent as it can double up as a blanket to wrap up in when it’s miserable out.

• Hang A Mirror

A mirror is always handy to have, for when you’re doing your makeup in the morning, doing your hair or even just checking yourself out. But in your family room, a mirror can do much more than that. A mirror will make your room look much bigger & add a feeling of extra space to the room.
