Decorating your home should not be a difficult process that would cost you an arm and leg. Lamudi Ghana has compiled seven simple things you can do to make your living room look more attractive than before. Try them and you will be amazed at the results.

  1. Paint: You probably have heard this over and over again and wondering what new thing we are going to say. Adding fresh coat of paint to the living room space once in a while. This does not only cover the stains on the wall but it provides the space with a different kind of look. You can consider maintaining the color or changing it totally. Brighter colors provide your room a more cheery look. Paints are affordable and the activity could be a DIY project.
  2. Floor rugs: Floor rugs or carpets are quite affordable. Instead of leaving the floor bare, use a rug to change the look of the space. They are easily obtainable from any décor store or the Central Market of Accra for a much cheaper price.
  3. Throw Pillows: If your couch looks too drab, consider some throw back pillows to add some color to your room. The color of the pillows should be dependent upon the shade of your couch as well as the kind of outlook you wish to portray in the end.
  4. Potted plants: They’re quite easy to obtain. You do not necessarily need pots, select colorful bowls and drill holes under them to allow excess water to drain. Place them nearer to windows for direct sunlight. Make sure you select colorful flowers which will automatically brighten the space.
  5. Floor cushions: They can be made from various materials including cushion or leather. You can put them on the floor to serve as seating for extra guests and to provide the space a different look. Depending on your taste and the kind of look you wish to provide the space, you can select one that would match that.
  6. Wall hangings: Of course this should be easy. If you have any wall hangings or photographs on your wall, you can change their position. You can even take everything off the wall if you desperately need to provide your space a different outlook.
  7. Living Room Furniture:  These can always be re-arranged in the space, for example, the 3-in-1 couch can be moved from the door towards the window. Just move them around in the sitting room to give your room a different look.

Follow these simple and easy steps to give your home the makeover you have always wanted.
