That’s because once you start doing too much with art, you’re about to convert your living room into a showroom (unless of course, that’s your kind of vibe. Then, by all means, go for it!)

It makes each space feel alive, even if the plant itself isn’t! Plants are another super easy, cheap and customizable living room decor piece that can refresh your area. If your style is modern and minimal, spruce up (pun intended) with a few air plants or succulents. If you prefer whimsy and boho elements, pile on the lush cattails and artfully undone greenery.

Ahh, the statement piece. This is the secret weapon of interior designers and savvy home designers (such as yourself.) the statement piece can truly be anything, but generally, it should be sizable. After all, if you can barely see it, it’s not much of a statement! Stuck on what to use? Accent chairs always add some glam to the room. But it doesn’t stop there: a new ottoman, mini bench, chaise lounge, a love seat, or pouf will not only add more seating but update the layout of your space. A jaw-dropping material, pattern or vibrant color can truly create that statement!
