Our homes are where we spend the majority of our time—particularly in a post-COVID age where going into the office feels as archaic as dial-up internet. At the end of the day, a living room is for living in! If you’re looking for ways to elevate the space and make it as gorgeous as possible, keep reading.
Mirrors
Snow White’s stepmother had a weird obsession with mirrors. Ours doesn’t extend that far, but we are of the opinion that mirrors are a chic way to add light and space to a living room. After all, the homes we inhabit are a reflection of ourselves. Placing mirrors adjacent to a window will allow light to spread throughout the area, while the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui encourages you to hang mirrors above fireplaces to increase positive energy.
Plants and Flowers
Wanting to freshen up a space? Flowers and plants are the way to go. Not only do they add an element of color and brightness, but flowers also perfume the room with a lovely scent and many pot plants act as natural air purifiers.
