21 Styling Tricks to Get the Living Room You Always Wanted
Sometimes the key to giving your home a luxe-looking update isn’t a giant overhaul or a costly renovation but small yet effective additions to improve what you already have. And no room is easier to spruce up than the living room, since it’s typically the only space in the house that’s forward-facing, so infusing it with your personality is key.
From adding thoughtful details like a vintage trunk in place of a side table to swapping out chairs for matching upholstered stools, these 21 living room decor ideas will help you get the space you’ve always wanted.
