1. Mix of Furniture Pieces and Styles
One thing is sure- when you want a cozy living room, comfortable sofas, and seatings are a must.
In case you can’t afford new furniture pieces, the cheapest way to renew your living room is to reupholster your old ones with rich tones and a variety of textures in the living room.
Feel free to combine different styles of furniture with bold accents in marble, natural wood, metal, nickel, and aluminum.
2. Texture and Patterns
Carpets and rugs are ideal to make an accent and focal point of the living room.
This is how you can bring an additional level of comfort, add more texture and color. Plus is the perfect way to separate the dining and relaxation areas if you have an open dining space.
Neutral and elegant gray is one of the preferable colors of modern living rooms, simply because you can easily combine it with brighter hues.
Combined with blush pink, dark blue, mustard color, chartreuse or chocolate brown.
In case you prefer wooden furniture pieces you can easily combine them with dark blue or anthracite colors, and replace the standard black color.
Add some mustard-colored throw pillows or even vintage flower patterns, and your vintage living room will bloom just before the spring season.
3. Accessories for Vintage Living Room
You can express your creativity freely with any kind of vintage element and accessories.
You can replace the hardware of your living room door with vintage ones, spray your sofa legs in golden hues, or replace the coffee table with an old vintage chest.
Choose a statement chandelier, combine photo frames or hang an impressive round mirror frame to bring more light into your living room.
