1. Expand your living room

In years gone by, living rooms were airtight and compact to conserve energy. Today, along with today’s need for more space, homebuyers expect larger living rooms. If you have a room facing the living room and don’t mind sacrificing, you can remove an interior load-bearing wall and occupy that space. While it’s a messy job, it’s simple and can be done by a DIY-loving homeowner. Could you ensure that the wall is non-load bearing and that you have obtained all the permits?

2. Update your front door

If your living room is at the front of your house, installing a new front door or refinishing your current door can bring many benefits at little cost and effort. A front door upgrade accomplishes two things for the price of one. It loads up your home’s curb appeal and
adds a new glow to your living room.

3. Let the light in with new windows

Living rooms create pleasant atmospheres; nothing stimulates that feeling like the natural light that enters the windows. Suppose the windows in your living room are worn, dirty, and with a significant lack of light transmission. You can bring your window gaps to life by replacing them with new ones. New windows recover between 70 and
75 percent of their original cost.

4. Choose the perfect color palette

In no other part of the house is color as crucial as in the living room. Whether used for hanging out, watching movies, reading, or sipping wine, the living room always gets plenty of face time. With so much attention on this area, the color scheme must be perfect.

5. Create faux extra space

Whether or not you’ve knocked down a wall to make more space in your living room, you’d like to create the illusion of more space on the cheap with simple techniques. Making a faux bonus space saves on remodeling costs while making your living room more enticing to buyers.
