At Window Treats serving Monmouth Beach, we frequently hear from our customers that their living room or family is the heart of their home, where they entertain guests and hang out as a family. If that’s true in your home too, you probably want the space to feel as inviting as possible. But if it doesn’t, never fear—you can make it over! We’ve compiled a few ideas to get you started. Read on!
Lighting
One quick way to change the mood in the room is to get balanced light levels. For diffused, ambient lighting, use a combination of overhead lighting that has dimmer switches with floor lamps and table lamps. At night, light candles for more warmth and coziness. And at daytime, be sure to work with natural light—your window treatments can play a role. For beautifully diffused sunlight, consider Silhouette® Sheer Shades or Pirouette® Sheer Shades from Hunter Douglas. Both are designed with adjustable vanes and sheer fabric to make the most of natural light.
Bring Nature Indoors
Natural elements can make a space feel welcoming and homey. Things like plants, wood accents, and nature-inspired artwork will give the room a softer, less edgy feel. To use window fashions for this step, consider Provenance® Woven Wood Shades, which are made with woven reeds, woods, grasses, and bamboo. These window coverings will provide organic texture and style in the room.
Add Visual Interest
Bring in more texture through your accent rugs, pillows, throw blankets, and window treatments to give your room depth and make it extra inviting. Layer your window treatments with side panels or drapery for more dimension. Bring in warm accents like brass or copper and earth-toned vases or artwork. Use woven baskets to hold things like your TV remote or mail pieces, so that you have textured decoration that also serves a purpose.
Seating
The living room invites sitting, so it’s important to have comfortable furniture. Add a roomy sofa and overstuffed armchairs, and arrange the furniture to support conversation. Or think about creating a reading nook, with plush chairs or a loveseat. Throw in comfy pillows and blankets, which will invite people to settle in and relax.
