4 Ways to Update Your Living Room This Year

Updating your living room this year doesn’t require a complete overhaul if you don’t want it. You can take on one or several smaller projects to make your space feel new to you again.

At Blind King, we carry high-quality living room window treatments, like sheer shades, so you can enjoy natural light and make your space feel lighter with diffused sunlight. Our team has devised four ways to update your living room this year.

1. Update with Fresh Paint

Updating your living room with a fresh coat of paint or creating a new accent wall is a great way to revive your space. Repainting in neutral tones or selecting earth-toned items is a good way to update your living room this year. For creating an accent wall, you could use a solid pop of color to add contrast and visual interest.

Alternatively, wallpaper with a brick pattern, unique pattern, or another texture could add a finishing touch.

2. Freshen Up Your Living Room Décor

Whether you want to add new paint or not, changing your living room décor is another fantastic way to breathe new life into your home. Houseplants, small potted trees, and other green items can add vibrancy and natural color to your living room.

Reclaimed wood and bamboo furniture, rugs, and storage items can also contribute to the vibe of a contemporary living room.

3. Invest in Contemporary Living Room Window Treatments

Your living room window treatments should enhance natural light while increasing your home’s privacy. Sheer shades are an excellent, modern option for this approach, and they look flawless as contemporary living room window treatments.

Consider Hunter Douglas sheer shades, such as:

  • Luminette® Sheer Shades: These Hunter Douglas sheers combine vertical blinds and shades for excellent light and privacy control, even at night.
  • Silhouette® Sheer Shades: Hunter Douglas artisans create these sheer shades with locking s-shaped horizontal slats and a sheer backing so you can block UV rays and glare and enjoy a view but get privacy when you need it.
  • Pirouette® Sheer Shades: Add a modern look with these shade’s fabric vanes that curl up and unfold as you wish to let light in or block it out.

4. Incorporate Seasonal Swaps

As the seasons change, so can some of your home décor. Making minor seasonal changes can keep your living room looking fresh and new throughout the year. Incorporate warm, comforting fabrics for your couch cushions, area rugs, and cooler colors in artwork for a cozy fall and winter aesthetic.

In the spring and summer, select bolder pillows, area rugs, and fresh-cut flowers in a vase or floral artwork.
