Easy Ways to Brighten Up Living Rooms
Do you wish your living room was brighter all year long but don’t want to commit to a serious long-term redecorating project? We have good news—there are several easy ways to brighten up your living room, and our expert team at Blind & Shutter Gallery shares some of our favorites.
Cheerful Curtains
There are many ways to brighten up your living room, but you know we had to start with the window treatments. Your windows are a focal point in any space, so you’ll get the most bang for your interior design buck by upgrading their coverings.
You can add texture to your room by layering drapery with blinds or shades. Try layering a patterned shade under solid custom drapes for an unexpected pop of color when your drapery is drawn open.
Pair Hunter Douglas Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapes with Parkland® Wood Blinds to create a layered look with variable amounts of light control and privacy with both texture and color. Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapes come in over 4000 different fabrics in a wide range of colors and patterns, perfect for brightening up any space.
Add an Area Rug
A well-placed area rug is another fantastic and effortless way to bring color and pattern to your living room. If a colorful rug isn’t your style, you can add visual interest and texture with a sisal rug. Layering a small rug over a larger one will add depth and interest to your living room.
Double Down on Texture
Brightening up a room isn’t only about the color. A bright room feels cheery and welcoming, and textural appeal is a big part of that. Add accent pillows and nubby throw blankets to contrast with leather furniture or smooth cotton blends to pair with textured upholstery.
Natural Touches
Living in St. Petersburg means enjoying the look of tropical plants year-round, indoors and out. Nothing makes a living room feel fresh and bright like a houseplant, especially a flowering one. Enhance the natural appeal of the plants by using a bamboo planter or marble vase.
If plant care isn’t up your alley, bring the look of the outdoors in with woven wood shades from Hunter Douglas. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades come in materials made from wood, reeds, grasses, and bamboo in Roman, waterfall Roman, recessed Roman and vertical drapery styles, so you can enjoy the look of natural materials without having to water a potted plant or worrying about a green thumb.
Edit and Update Your Décor
When did you last give your knick-knacks and other decorative accessories a once-over? If it’s been a while, it’s possible elements in the room don’t blend well with the bright and cheery aesthetic. Fewer décor items will also make a space feel more open and airier; clutter is never a good look in any aesthetic.
Embrace Light
We have plenty of sunny days in Florida, but when it’s overcast, you’ll need backup lighting to make your living room feel welcoming. We suggest a few table or floor lamps rather than a single overhead fixture so you can adjust the lighting as necessary.
Sheer shades are a fantastic way to make the most of natural light. They gently diffuse incoming light and reduce glare to create an alluring glow.
