Home Decor: Quick Renovation Ideas For The Sitting Area
Posted by jasnav on January 13, 2010
Renovation of your sitting room does not necessarily mean a long drawn process. Here are some renovation ideas for your sitting area that work quickly and effectively.
Change The Furniture
You may love to flaunt your leather sofas but an aesthetic approach towards the furniture will enhance the look. Instead of giving a cowboy look to the sitting area, try French floral prints as sofa covers. French floral prints come in subtle shades and bright prints. This will not only enhance the look but also the mood of the room.
You can also opt for animal prints if you wish to give a wild look.
It is very important to use bright colors in the sitting area. Bright colors symbolize positive energy.
Bright Colors To Add Spice
The fastest way to change the completely change the look is to get going with a can of paint. Paint the walls in bright shades to put life into dull interiors. Keeping in mind the theme of the sitting area, the colors should be bright.
The area is all about guests and therefore the color should reflect warm hospitality. Shades of red, peach, yellow, orange and gold are good options to pick from.
You may go creative with shading of the walls too. Most paints have mixed combination look too. All you need is to let your imagination go wild.
Matching Furnishing
If you do not wish to waste time and money in getting the flooring changed, go for easier and faster options.
The entire look of the room can be changed by placing an interesting carpet. Try out traditional Persian silk carpets instead of geometrical pattern ones. Though it requires high maintenance, the exclusive look will be well worth the price.
In case of cushion covers, try out the dull zari and brocade cushion covers. They will lift the mood of the room. Ensure that you are opting for matching fabric for the sofa cover.
Curtains To Bring In Panache
Curtains play an important role in lifting up the look of the room. The idea of putting curtain should not be similar to a veil system.
You can opt for curtains that match the wall colors. Opt for silk curtains to add more glamour to your room. Mix and match color combinations work well. Bright colored
velvet and silk valences will add a royal look to the surroundings.
If you are planning for a casual look then opt for brighter shades. Light curtains in net and linen fabric that are ideal for the summer mood. Heavy fabrics work well for the doors and windows.
Let the natural light come inside as it enhances look as well as spread positive energy. Go for
translucent silk curtains as it will solve both purposes.
Highlight The Areas
Instead of showering the sitting area with halogen lights, go for highlighting. Highlight certain corners and areas to enhance the look of the décor.
If you have an expensive painting, statue or even crystal, highlight that area.
I’m sure renovation is not going to be a hassle for you anymore.
