Whether you’re lacking in time or your budget is on the modest side, you can still achieve a fresh living room look within a few hours. Read on to discover beautiful ways you can transform your living space within a weekend.

Photo walls
It’s all too easy to forget about those wonderful family moments that are trapped inside your smartphone, or stuck within the depths of social media. Instead of scrolling through your favourite memories, why not pick the best ones and order a photo wall instead? Photo walls are a simple yet eye-catching way to completely transform any room in an instant. Using custom shapes, you don’t even have to drill or hammer nails into your walls to put all your photos on display, they simply stick
with ease – and can be easily removed and re-arranged whenever you please.
This little project is mess-free and will only take as long as you need it to. The most difficult thing is deciding which photos to include on your photo wall!

Rearrange your furniture
As humans, we’re creatures of habit and we quickly get used to things being a certain way. This is probably why you’ve had your furniture in the same position it was when you first moved in. It’s amazing how cheaply and instantly you can transform your living room simply by moving your furniture around. You could create a new reading nook, or switch your seating around so everyone gets a better view of the TV. Playing around with furniture positioning can also help create more
room in your home and allows more natural light to filter in.

Add a rug
When looking for a quick update, never underestimate the power of a new rug. It can be whatever size you like, and it’s the perfect way to bring those tired old carpets back to life. Introduce a bit of your personality into your living space with something bright and colourful, or keep it cosy and comfortable with something thick and indulgent. There’s a bit of science behind placing a rug in your living space, so check it out online to make the most of your new flooring solution.

And finally, clean
Dust, grime, clutter, the kid’s toys, pet hair…all these things quickly accumulate in the busiest room of the house. Making it appear tired and stressful. A quick speed clean will have any living space looking completely refreshed and new in no time.
