Since quarantine started, we’ve definitely binge-watched a TV series or two (or 10 - let’s be honest). Spending your family time on the living room couch might have been fun for the first few weeks, but almost a year later we’re still spending most of our time on those same couches, so to switch things up we suggest refreshing your movie-watching zone! Finish out the colder winter months and enter the rainy/warmer spring months by selling or donating your current furniture and splurge something new!
The phrase “in the comfort of your own home” has a completely different meaning nowadays. Investing in making sure your home is a place of comfort for you and your family is definitely something we suggest and can appreciate now more than ever. What ways can you change up your space? Here are a few suggestions below!
New furniture
Starting to feel some springs when you sit on the couch, stretched out the leather or just simply want to update the look? Replacing the couch is a great place to start in terms of refreshing your space. Some of the more popular couches we’ve seen come from Restoration Hardware’s Cloud Collection. Get even more trendy by finding an awesome velvet couch for a pop of color. Coffee table and end table wise, we’ve been loving glass tables with gold accents as well as the acrylic material. If money is tight right now, check out marketplace for much lower prices than retail from the neighbors in your area.
Cozy up your decor
This could be as simple as buying a new blanket to snuggle up with when you watch a movie. You can also go a step further and purchase an ottoman or a blanket basket to store your blankets when you aren’t using them, which will also add something to your room. If you love the velvet trend but don’t want to fully commit by getting a velvet couch, consider getting velvet pillow cases to add the awesome velvet texture in a less aggressive way. Switching out your table lamps, hanging a new piece of art or unfolding a new rug would also fall under this category!
Refresh with some paint
A simple can of paint can go a long way. Refreshing a room by adding a fresh coat of paint is such an easy and budget-friendly way to make the space feel completely different.
Amp up the neutrals with pops of color
It’s no secret that neutrals are always in style. But adding pops of color might bring a little more fun or happiness into your space, which we could always use a little more of!
