Top Ways To Upgrade Your Living Room On A Budget

Sometimes our home interiors become tired-looking and in need of a fresh lease of life. It may be that you want to give your living room a facelift, but don’t want to spend a lot of money. Fortunately, there are many affordable ways to do an upgrade without breaking the bank. In this article, we’ll discuss some of our favorite tips for upgrading your living room on a budget.

Add Some Cushions And Throws

Cushions and throws are an easy way to add some color and personality to your living room without needing to overspend. You can find them in a variety of colors, textures, and patterns to match any style. Another great thing about them is that they’re easy to switch out when you want a new look. You can find them pretty cheaply at places like Target or IKEA – or if you’re feeling crafty, you could make them yourself.

Make sure you end up with cushions and throws that are machine washable so you can keep them looking fresh. If you go for big cushions they can make a striking statement with funky, pop-worthy colors, patterns, and textures. Specialist websites can help you view photos, prices, and customer reviews –  and you can search by space, color, design, size, or material.

Enhance Your Walls

One of the cheapest ways to upgrade your living room is by painting the walls. For colors, choose light blues or greens because they tend to make rooms feel larger and airier. If you want something a little bolder, however, try a bright yellow or orange. These colors will definitely add some personality to your space! If you’re not sure what color to choose, ask for samples at your local hardware store before making a decision.

Wallpaper can add texture and interest to any room, and it’s relatively inexpensive. Plus, the task is usually pretty straightforward so you may be able to do it yourself. Some great patterns for wallpaper include floral prints, geometric shapes, and stripes. If you want something a little more subtle, try looking for wallpapers with small prints or delicate patterns. You can also find wallpapers that are designed to look like tile or wood. 

Hang Some New Curtains And Drapes

Curtains are pieces of fabric that you hang from a rod or pole above your window. Drapes are similar but they’re usually heavier and lined with an additional layer of fabric. Budget-friendly options for both curtains and drapes can be found at most home goods stores. The benefits of having them include:

  • They can instantly change the look of your living room without requiring a large investment
  • They can help to block out light and noise, making your living room a more relaxing space
  • They can help to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter by insulating your windows

Put Up Some New Artwork Or Photos

You can find affordable artwork at local stores or even online. There are many different genres to choose from, including abstract, landscapes, figurative, and still life. Choose a few pieces that you love and that fit the overall aesthetic of your living room. Then, find some frames that complement the artwork and hang them up.

If you have family photos, frame them and put them up as well. Some examples include wedding photos, new baby photos, family vacations, and achievements (e.g. graduation, sports). This is a great way to add some personality to your living room and make it feel like your own. Plus, it’s another budget-friendly way to upgrade the space.

Add Some Greenery

Adding some greenery is an easy and inexpensive way to breathe new life into your living room. Houseplants can purify the air, boost your mood, and add a splash of color. If you don’t have a green thumb, consider fake plants or flowers. Some great houseplants include:

  • Aloe vera
  • Spider plant
  • Peace lily
  • Fiddle leaf fig
  • Pothos

To keep your plants healthy, give them a drink of water when the soil is dry to the touch. Most houseplants like to be in bright, indirect sunlight. If you’re not sure how much light your plant needs, check the tag that came with it or do a quick Google search. And lastly, don’t forget to fertilize. Fertilizing once a month will help your plants grow strong and vibrant.

Upgrade Your Lighting

The right lighting can completely change the mood of a room. If your living room is feeling a little blah, try adding some lamps. You can also use string lights or fairy lights to create a cozy ambiance. You could buy some cheap lamps at a garage sale or even look for some unique DIY lighting ideas. You can also find great deals on used lighting fixtures at thrift stores. Just make sure to clean them and check that they’re in good working condition before you buy them.

Another way to upgrade your living room lighting is to simply change the light bulbs. You can get LED bulbs that use less energy and last longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.

Buy A Nice Rug Or Carpet

Rugs and carpets are floor coverings that can add comfort and style to your home. They come in a variety of colors, textures, and materials to suit any taste or budget. Rugs and carpets can add color and warmth to a room, making it feel more inviting. They also help to preserve your flooring from wear and tear. If you’re on a tight budget, try checking out garage sales, thrift stores, and the internet.

Some additional benefits to having rugs and carpets include:

  • Reducing noise
  • Increasing insulation
  • Creating a focal point
  • Being softer to walk on than wooden flooring

As you can see, there are plenty of options available if you want to upgrade your living room. You may also want to try moving your existing furniture around to create a new look. These choices don’t need to be costly, and with a little imagination, you’ll be surprised at how good the results are.
