10 Easy Ways to Elevate a Room

Looking to elevate a room in your living space? Look no further! Here are 10 easy ways to elevate a room to impress guests and bring more joy to your surroundings.

Fresh Paint

Nothing freshens up and elevates a room like a fresh coat of paint on its walls. While dark colors can have benefits, try choosing a lighter color or off-white shade to lighten up the space and increase its potential to add other eye-catching decor. This can be a fun evening or weekend project that will yield satisfying results!

Lighting

Elevate the room you are looking to improve with proper lighting to illuminate your space. Choose a mixture of floor lamps, overhead lighting, as well as table lamps to add dynamic. If you are satisfied with the lighting options you currently have, try to change up the light bulb styles for a quick and cost-effective refresh. Make sure you also take advantage of natural light that may flow into the room.

Eye-Catching Decor

Having fantastic decor is crucial in efforts to elevate a room! There are countless styles and types of decor you can choose from or you can repurpose items you already have for a fresh look. Looking for a unique decor item that will catch the eye of those who enter the room? Order a custom sign for your space from a neon sign company. Adding an element like this is a fun way to add flair, color, and even some extra light.

Mix Textures 

While a uniform look has its benefits, mix and layer textures throughout the room to make it really stand out. Mix materials like wood, metal, and glass. Mix fabrics like velvet, wool, and even denim! Get creative with the textures you include in the room to boost its appearance and appeal.

Accent Rugs

Depending on the floor of the room, adding one or multiple accent rugs can help you accessorize the room without taking up a lot of space. There are many different sizes and shapes of accent rugs that you can browse through to select the one most appropriate for the room you are working on. Wayfair has all of the sizes, shapes, and styles of the area and accent rugs you can imagine!

Use Technology

Technology not only can elevate the appearance of a room, but it can also enhance the experience a room provides for guests. A favorite that has been making its way into many rooms across the world is a digital photo frame. A digital photo frame gives the ability to display a still image or rotating digital images that can be easily changed and updated through a flash drive or Bluetooth capabilities. Display this digital frame on a table or shelf to catch the attention of guests and enjoy memories of yourself!

Custom Artwork

Personalize and elevate your space with custom artwork. A piece or multiple pieces of custom artwork can be on display for your enjoyment and can be a great conversation piece to discuss with others. Have a friend or family that creates art? Order a custom piece through them. If you would rather explore options outside of those with relations to you, try utilizing a local artist to create a piece for you!

Highlight Windows

As mentioned previously, great lighting is essential to amplify a room and natural lighting is an easy way to add to this. Highlight windows that bring in natural lighting with non-invasive window coverings and decor.

Add Plants

Adding greenery to a room can help to add even more variety in texture and color. Don’t have a green thumb? No problem! Purchase some artificial plants as decoration for the same effect with less maintenance.

Include a Water Feature

If you are looking to elevate a room to the max, add a water feature. This does not have to be a large or very pricy item, there are plenty of table-sized water features or even hanging water features that can be easily fixed to a wall. This helps to add an awesome decor element as well as a light noise feature that you can enjoy.

Whether you choose to add on textures to your room, some greenery, or even just a quick, fresh coat of paint to freshen up your space, these 10 easy ways to elevate a room will help you enjoy your surroundings even more!
