The New Year is here, and as soon as the holiday decorations are stored, it’s time to revive the living room space. New Year, new beginnings; your home is ready for an update, just like you! Fortunately, you can get a fresh look for your living room without significant changes or breaking the bank. Here are five cool modern accents you can use to update your living room this weekend.
- Hyperrealism Art – This art form mimics traditional realistic photography or art but is designed to evoke an emotion rather than recreate the scene. Emotional pieces of any kind provide a unique focus to the room.
- Modern Accent Chair – An accent piece of furniture, such as a chair or table, can immediately add depth to the room. It can be a unique shape or texture, anything that breaks with the room’s overall style.
- Modern Art Décor – Pillows and vases are a simple way to update a room. Consider adding a low, sleek vase for a single rose or perhaps a knot-shaped pillow on the floor by the fireplace.
- Curves – Soft curved lines are gaining popularity. Gone are the sleek, harsh lines of the past few years. Add a simple round mirror to a corner wall to not only add softness but a mirror expands the area and reflects light, brightening the room.
- Extra-Large Lighting – Design magazines feature giant, oversized paper lanterns. These can be colorful and boho or soft colored and subtle, but a fun and inexpensive way to add a quick update to a traditional living area.
Whatever you decide, there are endless ways to create a more eclectic living room while boosting your home this season.
