The most popular way to update the interior is renovation. But advanced tenants take a different path, allowing them to save energy, time and money.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to update the interior of a living room without renovation.
It turns out that there are five techniques that are effective and accessible to everyone.
Rearrangement
You need to experiment not only with upholstered furniture, but also with other items. In one case, you will simply have to move the sofa or change the angle.
Otherwise, more extensive actions are required.
Color
You can change the main color palette in the room. This is not only about the walls, curtains and textiles.
Don't forget about furniture upholstery, pillows, blankets and lighting fixtures.
Carpet
While walls and ceilings can be repainted, changing the flooring is not so easy.
Carpets can help. By the way, with the help of a couple of carpets you can zone the space, completely change the atmosphere or add coziness and comfort.
Decor
Not only art objects, such as paintings, figurines, etc., can be used as decorative items.
In some cases, plants can take on this task. There is even a concept - decorative plants that do not bloom, but give bright and dense greenery.
Panels
Designers do not welcome artificial materials in the living room. It is considered that this is the first enemy of coziness and a sense of style.
But in some cases, you have to rely on self-adhesive materials. With their help, you can quickly change the look of furniture, walls or other elements that are difficult to change, but the environment requires it.
