Hello everyone! I'm Mari from Design Shuffle, a fabulous social networking site for interior designers to upload their work and receive lots of exposure and for design enthusiasts to discover lots of inspiration. As a writer for Design Shuffle, I often get to visit lovely blogs like {Design Your Dwelling} to share some of my favorite interior designs. Today's guest post is about quick decorating changes for living rooms. Some of us are compulsive furniture movers, others just need a new look now and again, but we all appreciate fast and easy ways to update our décor. Here are some quick change ideas for your consideration. The rooms we're sharing are just about perfect as they are, but lend themselves beautifully to illustrate how easily interiors can be updated to fulfill our craving for change. Please enjoy!
Though this small living space is gorgeous the way it is and might not need to be changed anytime soon, it does give us a look at the easiest living room update possible—decorative pillows. Imagine how this room would look with different pillow covers, perhaps in grays and blues for a calm soothing feel.
Several options for a new look can be identified here—keep the same color palette but exchange the solid pink pillows for rusty red ones. That might prompt a quick change of art, perhaps a graphic contemporary painting in hues pulled from the rug.
Elegant living room designs like this one can be given a fresh perspective by simply replacing the coffee table vignette, perhaps with oversize design books and a fresh floral arrangement to pick up the pretty pink wall color.
This eclectic living room could be given a temporary new look by adding sunny yellow and green accessories in place of the pretty pink ones. Don't forget the lamp shade and candles on the patio.
This rustic, yet elegant room might be the easiest of all to change quickly—a rug under the coffee table and a different painting over the fireplace and voila, the space has a new personality that can be changed back on a whim. It doesn't get any easier than this.
The gorgeous color palette is set here by the irresistible glass of the chandelier, so we wouldn't want to change that soft hue. Keep the color, but add pattern on the toss pillows and substitute a sumptuous Flokati rug—white under the coffee table would look stunning.
Add a zebra rug instead of the pale hide for the quickest change ever. How easy would that be? Pull the center pillow if you must, but I think it would look interesting as is with the zebra pattern on the floor.
Change out the lamps behind the sofa along with the turquoise and orange pillows and this room takes on an entirely different look. Alternatively, all the accessories could be pulled and replaced—the choice of decorating ideas is almost endless here because of the versatile furniture in this space.
