Decoration:10 ideas to boost a living room

Visiting the florist

To bring a breath of fresh air to the room, nothing replaces a large bouquet of flowers! Buy yourself a large vase, colored if possible, and the bouquet that goes with it. Put it in the middle of a table or even on the floor, "extra thing" effect guaranteed.

Books on top of each other

Make yourself a small couch end table with a set of stacked books (heavy art books are fine). It's super chic and practical for putting down your tea and having it close at hand without having to make the effort to bend over to the coffee table (yes, we're thinking of the lazy ones).

Large living room?

To create an intimate space, buy a drop-down curtain to put on the ceiling, which serves as a partition once dropped.

A heart-catching rug

If you have a beautiful piece of furniture, to draw the eye to it as soon as you enter the room, put a (beautiful) carpet underneath. Instant sublimating effect.

The original paint stroke

Ok, it's organization to do but it can transform everything:dare to paint the parquet. It gives a crazy cachet. White, ivory, soft greens... adapt the color to your decor but above all ask your DIY store for advice on the procedure to follow before you start (special paints, etc.). And to your owner, of course.

Break unit

Around the dining room table, put a range of stylish but mismatched chairs, it's original and it blurs a too classic side.

Rejuvenation

To dress up your sofa, change the covers of the cushions and put in colorful ones, with graphic patterns... It'll give it a makeover right away.

After the wine

The wine boxes repainted in fluorescent or any color that inspires you will make perfect new storage modules, ideal for magazines for example.

Mirrors tell me who is the most…

The decorative touch of the pros? Instead of having just one mirror, buy a whole lot and create a patchwork of small and medium mirrors (antique mirrors for example) on your wall.

A trompe l'oeil

Some wallpapers perfectly imitate materials such as wood, stone or metal. Even simply placed on a wall, that's enough to subtly change the atmosphere.
