3 Affordable Ways to Refresh Your Living Room

This California girl has moved to Seattle! I’ve always loved Seattle, so when an amazing job opportunity opened up there for my husband, we knew we had to take it. We found a cute little home and an amazing daycare for our 3 year old, Isla, and we are settling in nicely. Our beachy home decor was definitely going to need a cold weather update, so before we packed our bags, we did a living room refresh at Living Spaces. Whether you're moving cities or just need a revamp, here are three easy and affordable ways to give your living room the pick me up it needs.

Throw Pillows

Throw pillows are a great and inexpensive way to incorporate new trends or add color to your living room. I wanted to add some "Hygge" vibes to our new Seattle home, so I opted for the ivory fur accent pillows to help cozy up the place, and I layered in black and ivory throw pillows for some additional texture. Hygge (pronounced "hoo-gah") is a Danish word that translates to a quality of coziness, contentment and well being through enjoying the simple things in life. Think candles, thick scarves, and hot tea. I'm not going to lie, the cold is hard to get used to (thank goodness puffer jackets are making a comeback!), so anything to add warmth to our home was at the top of my list.

Cute Storage

Plants

Plants add a quality of liveliness while feeling fresh and modern, and a bit of green will brighten any room. Some even say that plants contribute to happiness and well-being. My favorite indoor plants right now are snake plants, succulents, and pothos. I admit I have never had a green thumb, so I always go faux. We added a pop of green to our coffee table by placing a faux leafy plant in a Living Spaces’ modern cement vase with gold details, which gives our living room a finishing touch we love.

Our new house is really starting to feel like home. I'm also eyeing the adorable Taylor White Twin Canopy House Bed for Isla!
