Affordable Living Room Makeover Ideas

Stuck with a bare boring living room? Draw on these inspiring and affordable makeover ideas to get a layered lived-in look in a weekend in this Lowe’s video:

Don’t settle for the status quo. Layer on these easy ideas for a room you’ll love to live in:

• White walls don’t have to be plain. A simple graphic element like a bold blue stripe elevates a room in an instant.
• Treat your windows to more than functional shades. Frame them with curtain panels to elongate their look.
• Accent the new wall stripe with some simple floating shelves. Span any length you need by grouping multiples.
• Show off an undersized patterned rug by layering it over a larger neutral rug diagonally to really let the pattern pop.
• A standard floor lamp isn’t adding much, so swap it for DIY pendant lights with industrial style. Balance it with a more substantial floor lamp to really shed light on the changes in the room.
• The clean lines of a rectangular glass-topped coffee table make it a natural for a super-simple makeover. Give it a quick coat of gold spray paint to make it more modern.
• Lots of light makes a window ledge a natural place that can support a veritable greenhouse for plants.
• Add an accent chair and a pouf to create a cozy conversational grouping.
• Wake up plain furniture with a collection of on-trend pillows and accessories.
