Are you fed up with your sitting room? Then keep reading.
After a while, our sitting rooms can seem a little…well, boring. But unfortunately, we don’t always have the funds to give it a full-blown makeover.
But the good news is you don’t have to. You can bring your sitting room into 2017 with just a few simple additions that you can get from your local homeware store.
All these things are cheap, stylish and guaranteed to make your sitting room look 100% better.
Happy shopping!
Mirror image
Got a small space at home? Mirrors are a great way to open up a room and make it appear bigger than it actually is. If you want to try something different pick a few smaller mirrors and hang them grouped together like the picture below.
Put up a curtain
It might sound silly but adding an interior curtain can completely change a room. It’s a great way to separate different spaces or have a bit of privacy in a shared flat.
Grab a rug
A statement rug can work wonders on an otherwise plain room. Add a pop of colour or even go for something a bit more paired back like this gorgeous monochrome number.
Try a feature coffee table
Make your coffee table more than something to set your cup on. Add flowers, magazines, even photos, whatever you think will make it the focal point of your room. We’re big fans of the classic marble top.
Put a throw on it
Fed up of your boring old sofa but not ready to splash out on a new one just yet? Grab a cheap throw from Penneys or Ikea and use it as a couch cover. The great thing is you can chuck it in the wash if it gets dirty or even change it for a new one next month.
