Glamorous Home Ideas: Easy Affordable Solutions for Every Room

From the Publisher: A Checklist for Successful Living Spaces

Looking to change things up? Tile may look grand, but the warmth of wood floors is a great alternative. Consider engineered wood or vinyl wood flooring that has the appearance of real wood but is water and scratch-resistant. If you have wood or tile floors, adding a rug is an excellent way to bring warmth and coziness into a space.

Curtains are another wonderful way to add warmth, texture, and soften the look of a room. Hang them high, just below the ceiling, letting them just touch the floor. This creates a grander feel and gives the illusion of higher ceilings.

Take the time and invest in a beautiful coffee table that will complement your space. A mirrored coffee table, for instance, can add a glamorous focal point to the room.

When it comes to sofas, my rule of thumb is to pick a neutral color, such as white, tan, or gray. Sofas are a significant investment, and a neutral color allows you to switch up the surrounding color scheme without having to buy brand-new furniture each time.

Fresh and faux flowers can add a punch of color and bring a bit of the outdoors inside. The magic number is three. A table lamp can anchor a side table, while a decorative box and mercury candle can balance the space without taking away from the lamp's gorgeous base.

Finally, pick an accent color. Look for inspiration and notice what colors you're drawn to. This can help you create a cohesive and visually pleasing space.

In summary, the key elements for a successful living space include:

1. Flooring: Consider engineered wood or vinyl wood flooring, and use rugs to add warmth and coziness.
2. Curtains: Hang them high and let them just touch the floor to create a grander feel and the illusion of higher ceilings.
3. Coffee Tables: Invest in a beautiful table that complements your space, such as a mirrored coffee table.
4. Sofas: Choose a neutral color for a versatile and long-lasting piece of furniture.
5. Accents: Use fresh or faux flowers, lamps, and other decorative elements to add personality and balance to the space.
6. Color: Pick an accent color that you're drawn to and use it to create a cohesive and visually appealing design.

By focusing on these key elements, you can create a successful and inviting living space that reflects your personal style and meets your functional needs.
