The living room is the heart of any home because this is where the family gathers together in the evenings. Also, this room is a haven to host gatherings and offers a welcoming ambiance for your guests. So you would always want it to look nothing but the best. But what if your living room has been looking the same for years? You would surely want to give it a makeover. But the budget may not always be on your side. If you are looking for some budget-friendly living room revamp ideas, we can help you with some great ones.
Change the layout
Perhaps the easiest and cheapest way to give your living area an all-new look is by changing its layout. Just rearrange the armchairs and tables a little and create a brand new décor. While you change the layout, take it as an opportunity to declutter as well. Pick the pieces that you do not need and also the ones that look outdated. Just clear them out and breathe a new life into space, all without spending a dime!
Add a dash of color
Changing the boring old white or beige color theme is easy if you are ready to be creative with color. You may have one wall painted with bright textures or hang a colorful wall hanging on it. Add a pop of color with bright curtains, rugs, and cushions. Try playing with shapes and sizes in cushions for bringing in a creative touch. Feeling creative, add a focal wall by using some bright peel and stick wall decals or aesthetic wallpaper on just one wall of your room. Just a little work and lots of creativity can give you a living area of your dreams, all within your budget.
Have a perfect centerpiece
If you can spend a little, start looking for a centerpiece that will be a perfect replacement for your age-old sofa. When redecorating your home, Jamie Fielden from SW James suggests getting a large, comfortable couch that can fit plenty of family and friends. You need to prioritize comfort while looking for aesthetics and durability as well. Don’t hesitate to invest in a nice one if you have not upgraded it for years now.
Go green
Nothing matches the effect that some greenery can add to your living room. A few potted plants here and there with a bonsai on the center table can simply pep up space with minimal investment and efforts. And the fresh, clean air that you get is just one of the many perks that greenery brings. It adds refreshing and welcoming vibes to your living room and your guests will love the idea as much as you do.
Try some DIY
If you are a DIY enthusiast, there is no better way to give your living room a makeover than doing something yourself. Try using old wooden boards to create an on-the-wall storage shelf for your books, CDs and knick-knacks. Update the place with a statement gallery wall with old and new pictures of the family. You can even try creating a brightly-lit wall with the Christmas lights from the last holiday season.
These are pretty cool ideas that can help you to revamp your living room without breaking the bank. So just get inspired and start working on giving your space a makeover!

I especially like the “go green” idea. People don’t decorate with live plants like they used to. Thanks for sharing!
