 From movie nights with your kids to catching up with friends over coffee, the living room is arguably the heart of your home. Aside from your bedroom, it is likely the room where you’ll spend the most time.

This means that it is a space that is well worth investing in, especially if you feel as though it currently looks a little tired or scruffy! With that in mind, here’s how you can make your living room look classier! 

Invest in high-quality furniture. The first step toward elevating any room within your home is to invest in high-quality furniture. 

While you have many different options to choose from, wood furniture is an excellent choice for those who are looking to design a living room that feels effortlessly classy.  Not only that, but it's something you’ll get great ROI from as it is designed to stand the test of time. 

Focus on minimalism. Minimalism is a design style that focuses on creating spaces that are simple, uncluttered, and harmonious. Keeping these concepts in mind when redecorating your living room can, therefore, help you to create a space that feels both chic and classy. 

This is also a great way to ensure that your renovation project remains as budget-friendly as possible, as minimalism encourages you to be more intentional when shopping for furniture, decor, and more. 

Reupholster your furniture. If you’re looking to refresh your living room as opposed to re-doing it top to bottom, reupholstering your furniture is a must. After all, this means that pieces that once looked threadbare and aged will look as good as new, blending perfectly into your classy space. 

Choose a simplistic color scheme. While you may want to create a vibrant home that is full of color, those looking for a cleaner, classier aesthetic should be willing to keep things as simple as possible. For example, you may want to choose one primary color, before introducing a few accent shades.

While a neutral color scheme is often a go-to within classier spaces, this is not your only option. For example, you could instead use this as an opportunity to bring warmth into your home by using colors such as orange, gold, and brown. 

Keep the clutter at bay. Keeping clutter at bay can also ensure your living room looks as classy as possible. After all, whether your coffee table is overflowing with books and papers or your floor is a maze of children’s toys, it will capture your attention every time you step into the room. This means that the rest of the design choices you’ve made are going ignored! 

There are many steps that you can take to reduce clutter within your living room, from simply ensuring that you put things away as soon as you’re finished with them to investing in furniture with built-in storage solutions. For example, you could buy an ottoman that doubles as a storage container! This way, you have no excuse for leaving things on the side for days on end.
