How to renovate a living room without working and changing furniture

You can completely renovate a living room (or any other room) without the need for any work or renovation and of course without the need to buy new furniture.

I encounter this task every week in the room of one of my clients who wants to completely change but doesn't have the time or desire to deal with construction but wants to walk into their living room and make it look like someone else; a new room.

If you are looking for the same thing, follow me, what will we see? 4 solutions to completely renew your living room without reforming or buying any furniture.Let's start:

Paint anything you want to renew

Paint is the most economical and effective resource for renewing any space or piece of furniture. If you want a radical change in your living room, paint it.

Change the color of your walls for a completely different wall color that catches your eye. Simply put, you will create a new “shell” in which everything inside, furniture, decorative objects, etc. will have a new look when seen against a new background.

But being alone in the wallsIf changing the paint on the living room walls gives it a new and renewed look, also does it in furniture.

Paint old furniture and change its color make the furniture look like the other. Especially if you have old, worn-out wooden furniture. The change is so effective and powerful that your furniture will not look like a new one, but will look like another. And only with paint.

Y If you want to go further, paint the doors. Most older homes have old, worn wooden doors. Painting them white is usually a solution that works for almost everyone as it goes with everything and makes the space look brighter and more open.

And, although this task is relatively simple, if you want a professional and fast result, it is best to enlist the help of a professional painter who will leave you with perfect finishes in record time.

Using online services such as the Hogami painting service with the commitment of Leroy Merlin, you can find a professional in your area by filling in some information indicating what you want to paint, the area you live in and other settings and they will choose a painter, the perfect professional for your case. You can even chat with him and answer questions or clarify the details of the work!

Your living room will become a completely new space when you change and renew the color of your walls, furniture and, if necessary, your doors.

But still there Other tips to renew it even more without having to work.

Decorate and hide your floors with rugs

One of the most common problems I encounter in decorative projects where a client wants to revamp their living room without doing any work is the floor.

Generally, even if the floor is in good condition, it is very old and the customer is so tired of seeing it that they even grab a mani. You know what I mean, right?

One very effective, economical and fast solution to replace or hide your floors without the need for work or reform to dress them in rugs.

If your living room has a sofa area and a dining area, placing a matching rug in each area will not only beautify the decoration of each area and delimit the spaces, but will also almost completely hide your floors.

The advantage of using carpet to hide a floor you no longer like is that you can replace it from time to time with very little financial effort.

And you have no boundaries, no colors or anything. It's like you want to put down a phosphorite purple carpet!

In fact, decorate your floors with rugs and you will see how that floor that you can no longer see disappears. Covering the floor that you can no longer see with a new and beautiful rug that you like is extremely effective.

After these two points we just saw, We have walls, furniture, carpentry and floors renewed without having to do any work. But we can go even further in renovating the room. More:

Upholster, reupholster and change the fabric of the entire room

Take a moment in your living room and look at it carefully.

Now count the textiles you see on it. Let's apply a small example:

I stand in the living room and count the textiles I see: Sofa, Curtains, Cushions, Armchairs, Chairs. You have those too, right?

Now Imagine the huge change you can achieve by changing these textiles.

It's true that upholstering or reupholstering a generously sized sofa can be more expensive than buying a new one, so in this case, I'd recommend putting a nice cover on it. The change is amazing.

Let me tell you a little anecdote that has affected me in this sense since my childhood..

When I was little and went to school, there were mornings when I would come home to eat and as a child I found almost a new room in my eyes.

And that was because my mother, with very few financial resources, very rarely, when she thought it necessary and financially possible, bought new covers for the large sofa and the two matching armchairs we had.

And when I walked into the living room, I was amazed at the drastic change it had taken just by putting up new drapes. It was amazing.

And she didn't do anything else. So in this case, my mom didn't paint the walls, the furniture, or put up new rugs. I bought new throws, and we had a living room that had a completely different look and feel.

Now imagine changing the curtains, cushion covers and putting a new cover or upholstery on the chairs – you won’t even recognize it.

Luis Alfonso López, store manager of high-end textile decoration company Gastón y Daniela, says: “Upholstered furniture has the possibility of changing its skin, just as one can change one's clothes.“. More reason than a saint. Don’t miss this opportunity and renew all the textiles you can.

And yet we can continue to renovate the living room without doing any work or reform or changing furniture.

Finish the decor

Now you've done the big thing: Painting the walls, furniture, and adding and changing fabrics. You did it in record time and on a minimal budget. And you have a new living room. Brand new.

All that's left for you is to take it all small decorative details as ceiling, table and floor lamps; the most important part of the dining table with the decorations and books of the TV cabinet, other small details and change them for new chords to the new style of your living room.

Also, this is the funniest part. This is the part where you go shopping for decorative “trinkets.”

Those little details that you love and can put in every corner. Choose that decorative sheet that you really liked and now it fits your new living room, that beautiful wicker basket where you can put your flower pots, the handmade ladder to decorate the corner or that wonderful mint green lamp. The screen that you love when you see it on Instagram.

Enjoy these changes and finish renovating the room.

As you can see, You can completely transform your living room without the need for work or renovation and without changing even a piece of furniture..

Naturally, you should adapt all the advice I have given here to your own tastes and resources, and apply it to your own conditions in your salon. So I invite you to leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.
