7 Stylish Accents to Update Your Living Room

Our homes are our havens, and with a few special touches, your living room can be updated to become your ideal personal sanctuary. Here are our seven favorite home accents to stylishly update your living room affordably and with ease:

Feature Wall

While the living room may be all about relaxation, it’s important to have something other than a screen to cast your eyes upon. A feature wall is just the thing to add beauty to your home without engaging in costly methods or renovations. Make your wall stand out with a pop of color or stick to a neutral tone and decorate the wall with eye-catching canvases. Decorating a feature wall with textures, like hanging textiles, mounted bowls, even shells and other found pieces is another simple way to add interest to this space.

Art/Photo Wall

Take the feature wall one step further by personalizing it with your favorite art and photographs. Intersperse pretty paintings with chic canvas prints and some special snapshots of your adventures, friends, and family to create a centerpiece that is uniquely you. Putting together a gallery wall is pretty straightforward. The trick is to make your measurements precise and tie all the pieces together with matching frames or a similar color story.  

Whimsical Mirrors

Light is also crucial in making a living space pleasant, and the power of light can be harnessed with this simple trick of the trade: employ mirrors in your décor. These whimsical butterfly mirrors add interest to any space and work both as adorable art as well as light reflectors.

Quirky Timepiece

Another accent that does double duty is a quirky timepiece. Acting as both a timekeeper and an artistic accent, a clock is an oft-overlooked design option for the living room. And clocks can be more than just numbers, as evidenced by this cheeky dachshund frameless wall clock. With the right clock in your living room, you’ll find time really does fly when you’re having fun!

Inspirational Quotes

You can further personalize your space by incorporating inspirational quotes throughout your home décor. Whether you work in your favorite words by hand painting them, via vinyl wall appliques, or by featuring phrases that have meaning to you in decorative frames, there are lots of ways to decorate with inspirational quotes. Infuse your creativity with words by employing one of these creative ways to design text to transform words into personal pieces of art.

Wallpaper Accent Wall

Another take on dressing up your living room wall is creating a wallpaper accent wall. From leafy palm fronds to sophisticated damask, today’s options for wallpaper design are seemingly endless. And wallpapering has never been easier now that there are a number of peel and stick options on the market. Order a few samples to see what you like and get to papering.

Cozy Blanket

Of course, no living room is complete without a comfortable spot to cozy up in. This terrazzo blanket is just the thing to create an ambiance of pristine relaxation while adding a splash of style to your space. Make your living room even more luxurious by layering fabrics throughout it. Plush pillows, knit blankets, and colorful area rugs work together to create a comfy room you can’t wait to come home to.

These are just a few of our favorite living room accents.
