How to Add a Wow Factor to Your Living Room

Your living room is the place where you spent a large majority of your time, engrossed in relaxing activities, entertaining guests or spending quality time with your family. If you want to feel both comfortable and inspired in this space, it’s essential to decorate it with keen attention to details, making sure the design matches your needs for comfort but also stimulates your imagination. 
​  
Whether you prefer a traditional or modern, relaxed or luxurious style, there are many tips and tricks to help you create the wow factor in your living room, meaning that quality which you’ll make you, your family and your guests feel appreciation and delight. Let’s explore some ideas.

Add a Few High-Impact Elements

When it comes to design, big changes like buying new furniture or painting the walls in new colours represent a significant effort. Plus, you’d have to make many other more or less subtle changes to maintain harmony and balance. If you want fast improvement with significant results, a better approach is to focus on adding a few high-impact elements which, on their own, can create a distinctive ambience in your living room.

There’s nothing that says wow like hearing the restorative and calming sound of running water from a water fountain for inside. Not only that an indoor fountain has a great visual impact, but it also carries many benefits when it comes to creating a clean and healthy environment in a space where you spend a lot of time. Big sculptures or large decorative items don’t hold the same potential.

Create Strong Colour Contrasts

Another way to effectively transform your living room in a unique and original space with stunning visual impact is to create colour contrasts. By combining black and white with rich vibrant colours in your décor, you can highlight certain elements, add depth and vitality to your living room and create that feeling of lushness that increases the allure of the space.
​
Bring a rich colour palette into your living room by adding a colourful patterned rug or large-canvas art. Chosen well, these can become a focal point without being eye-straining. A warm coloured large-canvas on a  blank wall can draw immediate attention and make your living room feel like a sophisticated, yet still intimate space. A colourful rug, on the other hand, can give the space a sense of vitality.

Bring in Natural Light

No matter how much care you put into decoration and design, your living room will not have that wow factor without abundant natural light that can highlight colours and textures. Bringing sunshine into a room can completely change the ambience by creating a strong feeling of spaciousness. It’s well-documented that natural light also lifts people’s mood.

The benefits of natural light cannot be overestimated, but bringing sunlight in is not always easy. However, if you assess your living room situation, you’re bound to find at least some opportunities for improvement. This could mean simple things like removing heavy curtains, washing the windows, or adding large mirrors and shiny objects.
