My living room felt outdated and cluttered I decided to do a weekend DIY refresh I started by decluttering and removing old furniture that wasn’t functional
I repainted the walls a soft warm color and added colorful cushions and throws to the sofa Small decor items like books, vases, and plants added personality without clutter
Lighting upgrades were essential I added a floor lamp and repositioned a table lamp to brighten darker corners Rugs and curtains helped define the space and make it cozy
Even minor furniture rearrangement improved flow and created distinct seating areas
Final Thoughts
Simple DIY updates focusing on color, lighting, and furniture placement can dramatically change the atmosphere and functionality of a living room
