Additions That Create An Impact

The living room is an often frequented space. From spending time with family to entertaining guests, for many, this space is well-utilized and well-lived in. Are you looking for ways to make that space feel new again? Remodeling can be the answer. Here are five ways to refreshingly update a living room and make the old new again.

1. Ceilings

The ceiling is a major fixture in any living room.  Ceiling tiles and medallions have lately proven to be popular updates to the plainly plastered ceiling of old. These additions add eye-pleasing textures and finishes to a room.

2. Decorative Accents

Adding a bit of trim around doors, windows, and floors is a great way to add eye-catching decor throughout the room. To add dimension and make your space appear larger and livelier, you can even top it off with crown molding around the corners of a ceiling. This will add a beautiful finish that draws the eye outward providing the appearance of depth.

3. Floors

Remodeling floors can mean anything from installing sleek wood flooring to adding a nice laminated tile to get out of an old carpet rut. Many homes, especially those in warmer climates, are embracing the new tradition of floors with breathable elements that are easy to clean and do not trap in much debris.

4. Walls

Wall paneling is an easy addition that will liven up the walls and make them stand out.  Horizontal or vertical wall panels provide a structured look that promotes evenness and a look of cleanliness. Achieving texture through the addition of a wood grain structure or even butt board paneling will give the room a modern, organized appearance.

5. Windows

According to the old adage, the eyes are the windows to the soul. With actual windows, they can have the same effect of framing your living room and showcasing the accents inside. Large picture windows can add character by allowing more natural light in. You may also consider bay windows that add more room to a small space and give it structural sound.

These updates can take a living room space to the next level of comfort and ambiance. Remember to consider the entire atmosphere of the home before planning your updates. This will ensure a cohesive flow throughout every space. Contact our local remodeling company to get started today.
