Here’s a fact: A lot of photography, editing and styling skills were applied to achieve such flawless magazine-worthy photo. And practically, it’s a little impossible to keep a real living room look like that picture-perfect, especially with some messy pets and energetic children around.

But if you’re still thinking about it, yes it’s possible. There are a lot of professional interior designers who would gladly make your home look like those of celebrities with just a wave of their magic wand - with the right price, of course.

What if you don’t want to spend that much? Can you still make it? Let me give you some cool advice and let’s see how it will work wonders for your living room.

1. Replace your sofa

Your sofa is one of the biggest items in your living room and it usually serves as the focal point of the whole room. If you really want to make your living room look expensive, investing on a high quality sofa can be your bet. More importantly, get a sofa that fits perfectly into your living room space. Consider buying leather sofa as it effortlessly adds luxury to any room, but if you want to be more creative, getting fabric sectional sofa in light cream or gray is also a great idea.

2. Highlight your windows

Wide and spacious windows can give any room a more sophisticated look. Highlight your windows with layered curtains, blinds or drapes and hang it high above the window frame to create an illusion of height. Choose curtain designs that work well with your wall paint and the overall theme of your living room.

Tip: Incorporating some of the design or patterns found in your fabric sofa or throw pillows in your curtain fabric can instantly put together in your living room decoration. Do this and you’re almost there.

3. Go for few large accessories than small ones

Most homeowners commit the mistake of putting so much in their small living room thinking it can make it look more personal and stylish. However, putting a lot of small items, like your book collection, magazine subscriptions, travel souvenirs, and other knick knacks can actually make your living room look cramped and crowded.

Keep your living room clean and neat by displaying just a few items and placing them strategically around the living room. Move personal items to your bedroom or family room and just leave few magazine copies to give guests something to read while waiting to be entertained. Then, instead of hanging different framed photos on the wall, you can invest in large framed art piece and then hang it on the wall above your sofa.

Now, it’s time to put down that home decorating magazine and start working on your own living room. Don’t forget to bookmark this blog and share it with your friends.
