Evaluate Your Space:

Begin by taking a thoughtful look at your living room. Consider the existing layout, colours, and furniture. What elements do you love, and what might need a change? Assessing your space allows you to identify areas for improvement. Think of the functionality and purpose of the space. For example, your living room is the perfect environment to seat loved ones, but is it working for you? Is your sofa too big or small for the space, does it make the space feel cluttered as you manoeuvre to access it, and do you have enough seating options for extra guests? Your space should be a place of relaxation and tranquillity, so make sure it serves its purpose for the new year.

At Abakus direct, we know that additional seating shouldn’t mean just pulling out a dining chair. All of your seating choices should work with your space and flow with the room. We offer Cuddle chairs, swivel chairs, and armchairs to ensure all your seating options are luxurious. 

Simplify and Declutter:

The first step in any refreshing endeavour is to assess the current state of your living room. Take a critical look at your furniture arrangement and decor. Decluttering is key to creating a clean and inviting atmosphere. Consider parting with items that no longer serve a purpose or bring you joy.

Baskets are a great way to conceal objects such as DVDs, games controllers and family board games. But, they also provide hiding spots for more ad-hoc objects such as receipts, past-seasons decorations and old books that haven’t been opened for years! It’s important to declutter hidden spaces as well as shelving and media cabinets.

Take a look at your decoration ornaments and think to yourself: does this still work with my space? Is it aesthetically pleasing? Does it provide the vibe I want it to?

New Colour Palette:

A simple yet effective way to breathe life into your living room is through a new colour palette. Consider repainting walls, adding colourful accent pillows, or investing in a vibrant rug to inject personality into the space.

Hues of green, grey, and blue are set to have their showcase in 2024. Make it fun as you play around with tones and contrasts to make it your own, and welcome the new year into your space.

Don’t just limit yourself to wall colours and accessories! Introduce a breath of fresh air into your living room with indoor plants. Greenery not only adds a touch of nature but also contributes to a healthier indoor environment. Incorporate natural elements like wooden furniture or stone accents to create a harmonious and balanced space.

Luxurious Textures:

Enhance the comfort and cosiness of your living room by incorporating luxurious textures. Opt for sumptuous throws, plush cushions, and soft rugs to create a warm and inviting ambiance. Velvet or chenille upholstery on sofas and chairs can add a touch of opulence to your seating arrangements.

In 2024, maximalism makes a comeback, moving away from the recent minimalist trend and encouraging homeowners to embrace vibrant and flamboyant decor. With diverse textures, bold hues, and intricate patterns, interior spaces become personalised canvases for self-expression.

Strategic Lighting:

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood of a room. Update your lighting fixtures with elegant pendant lights, stylish floor lamps, or statement chandeliers. Experiment with various light sources and shades to create a layered and well-lit living space.

Functional Furniture:

Consider the functionality of your furniture. Invest in pieces that not only enhance the aesthetics of your living room but also serve a practical purpose. Modular or multi-functional furniture can be particularly useful in maximising space in smaller living rooms.

Explore different furniture arrangements to maximise both space and functionality. Sometimes a simple rearrangement can make the room feel entirely new. Be mindful of the flow and balance of the space to create a harmonious layout.

By evaluating, updating, and adding personal touches, you can create a space that is not only stylish but also a true expression of your individual style.
