What are some affordable living room makeover ideas?

  1. Rearrange furniture
  2. Add indoor plants
  3. Brighten up with color
  4. Decorate the space
  5. Experiment with patterns

 

The living room is one of the first things that you and other people will notice about your house. Think about it: when you’re inviting guests over, you’ll immediately want them to feel comfortable and settled. You direct them towards your living room where they can sit down on a couch and relax with an interesting coffee table book. But if you think your living room is not really a relaxing environment, then you may want to start changing things up with these affordable living room makeover ideas. Check them out!

 

Rearrange furniture

One of the best and cheapest ways of invigorating some life into your living room is by rearranging your furniture. In fact, it’s almost too good to be true, you might be thinking that there’s no way something as simple as this can get the job done!

Changing up the location of the furniture can be difficult to do, especially if you’re already accustomed to the current arrangement, but it doesn’t have to be daunting. First, you’ll want to establish the main entrance of your living room — this is going to set the basis for where you’ll move different furniture around.

When you’ve already established that area, you now have to make sure that you move your furniture in such a way that you can still comfortably move around the space and you’ll have adequate leg room when you sit down. Leave out gaps to allow people to walk in, but try not to push your furniture to the walls — keep them at a distance of 46 inches from the walls. You should also make sure that any furniture is placed at arm’s reach between each furniture to make the room more ergonomic.

 

Add indoor plants

Indoor plants are a great way to keep your living room natural and fresh. Aside from their calming appearance, a potted plant or two in your living room can already make it more breathable and livable. If you’re not an experienced hobbyist, you can start by adding plants that are easy to grow and take care of.

A snake plant, for example, is beginner-friendly and doesn’t require exhaustive care. Although it requires sunlight, it can survive under low to medium lighting conditions. Potted snake plants can fetch for around Php 150 to 400 pesos per pot, so you can definitely have more than one of these lying around in the living room.

You could also choose succulent plants like aloe vera. Like the snake plant, this popular living room plant is affordable, as they’re usually sold at a range of Php 90 to 250 per pot.

 

Brighten up with color

A fresh color of wood-look tile flooring might just be the key to making your living room more vibrant. Different wood-look colors carry a variety of meanings, but you’ll ultimately want to choose a color that’s relaxing to the eyes.

To set a comfortable mood and tone for your living room, add cool pastel colors like blue, lavender, beach-inspired blue, or your choice of customized hues. As much as possible, you’ll want to match these colors with the floors and walls of the living room.

For example, if you have wood-look tiles, go for darker shades for your walls that can help add a contrast to the overall design. For patterned tiles, try painting with lighter tones like cream pink, or white to achieve a cleaner and sleeker finish.

 

Decorate the space

Your living room space can feel bland, especially when there aren’t a lot of fixtures and decorations — but if you truly want to make your living room feel more homey and cozy, the right kind of decor can already transform it.

If you want to have a contemporary living room, try going for abstract artwork and fixtures that you can buy at an affordable price at your local department store.

Not really a fan of painting? You could opt for other ornate additions like a DIY-mounted wooden shelf where you can place photo frames, small potted plants, magazines, or coffee table books.

 

Experiment with patterns

Sometimes, you might just need to spend a little bit more to achieve the living room of your dreams. What we’re talking about is a fresh set of patterned tiles to overhaul the entire look.

If you can’t really find the right living room ornament and decor, tiles can serve as a budget-friendly and practical way of incorporating timeless and modern looks into your living room. A great tip when it comes to choosing pattern tiles is that they should match your furniture, lighting, and other layers.

Choose from versatile patterns that feature mosaic shapes, marble streaks, stones-looks, wood designs, or even flaked patterns. Get creative with how you style them. You could also mix and match to come up with the best look.

 

Key Takeaway

As you’ve learned, there are multiple ways for you to achieve an affordable living room makeover. You can do a range of simple and complex renovations and redesigns, such as changing up the arrangement of your furniture or even completely changing the look of your tiles.

How can you decorate children’s rooms?

  1. Mix and match contrasting colors
  2. Add unique accents
  3. Organize the space
  4. Pastel is the new neutral

 

At some point, you may have thought about decorating ideas for your children’s rooms. You just want to make your child’s living quarters more fun and stylish than your own. The best part is, you can play around with different designs. The sky’s the limit!

For your kids’ spaces, you’re not constrained with the colors and patterns that you use. You do want to think about how well they’ll fit with all the other elements of the bedroom. Ultimately, you want to build a livable space for your child. At their age, they’re very active and like to move around. With these tips, you can easily style a children’s room that your kids will surely love.

 

Mix and match contrasting colors

[15×60] A1024

Mixing contrasting colors is a great way to bring out the vibrancy of your kids’ rooms. As much as possible you want to make this room a reflection of themselves. The brighter, bolder, and more outrageous the colors are, the better.

You can add a splash of color to any part of the room. For walls that come in a lighter shade choose contrasting colors that can separate each element in the room. You can add any contrast to different parts of the room — it’s all up to you, really. For floors, using a darker-shaded wood is a perfect contrast to a lighter shade wall. Ceramic wood-look flooring is a good option as this has better grip which allows your child to move around without worrying for accidents.

 

Add unique accents

Adding accents is the key to imbibing a sense of texture in children’s rooms. Accents are found everywhere — from the bedding, linen, pillows, lighting, furniture, wall, floor, carpets. The list is endless, in fact, even your kids’ favorite toys could be considered as accents.

As much as possible, you’ll want to make the accents as playful as possible. Take this redecorating activity as a collaborative opportunity between you and your child. If they want to include their favorite cartoon character prints, then let them. Complement this by adding your own touch — add some kid-friendly patterned carpeting, bedside tables, study desks, or even miniature indoor plants.

It’s also essential to invest in timeless flooring because kids have a tendency to constantly run around and play in their rooms. Matte and rustic surfaces are proven to be the ideal option due to their slip-resistant qualities and hassle-free maintenance.

There’s no doubting that all of these elements will eventually come together to form a fun-loving room that your kids will love.

 

Organize the space

Children just love to play with their toys. The thing is, they may not always know how to keep them in place. In fact, you might find your children’s toys just strewn all over the floors of your house. While teaching them the importance of neatness and cleanliness is important, the best way to emphasize this is through their bedrooms or play spaces.

As much as you want your kids’ rooms to be playful, you also want to make sure that it’s organized. The best way of doing this is by adding neat and nifty storage drawers, cabinets, boxes, compartments, or slats that can go well with the overall design of the room.

During your redecorating make sure that you leave out enough room size for these storage accents. You can paint and customize them to add a splash of color. For something more minimal, go for cabinets or small drawers that come in basic tones, like white, gray, black, or pastel. You can also exercise your creativity by adding custom-built storage designs like built-in drawers, slats, or floating shelves.

 

Pastel is the new neutral

Color is undeniably an important factor as to how the look of your children’s bedroom will come together. Pastel colors were originally a trend that came about some time during the 50’s and 60’s but is becoming more and more of a staple for contemporary interiors. Going with pastel can even serve as a stylish yet practical option for when your child transitions from the toddler to adolescence stage.

As previously mentioned, matte surfaces are the best flooring choice for children’s rooms – the M77 is another great example. This high-quality textile design provides slip-resistant qualities that will give you more peace of mind when your child plays and does physical activities.

 

Key Takeaway

With these decorating ideas for your children’s rooms, you’ll surely come up with a space that your child will enjoy staying in.

As mentioned before, a good tip when it comes to children’s rooms is to use up all your creativity. You’ll want to emphasize both the playfulness and livability of the space without sacrificing harmony. Once you find the right styles, you can now begin designing any of your kids’ rooms with ease.

4 Effective Ways to Use Neutral Colors for Your Space

4 Effective Ways to Use Neutral Colors for Your Space

What are the different ways to use neutral colors for your space?

  1. Use wood furniture
  2. Style with neutral backgrounds
  3. Focus on your layers and fixtures
  4. Keep it simple

 

Looking to start a new home redesign? This may be the perfect opportunity for you to play around with neutral styles. But what are neutral colors, exactly? Well, the word “neutral” is simply defined as bereft or lacking in color. Though this style may sound unassuming, there are many different ways to use neutral colors for your space that can create depth and harmony in any interior. Continue reading to find out how!

 

Use wood furniture

[60X60] V-K

[60X60] V-K

One of the best ways to get beautiful neutral looks for your space is by adding a set of wooden furniture. If you want to achieve a more contemporary design, you may want to check out different types of wooden furniture that you can incorporate with neutral looks or finishes.

For your dining room, try to find contemporary wood furniture that is lighter in tone. Style with popular cross-back chairs or wooden-legged Eiffel-style chairs with plastic seating that matches the tone of your space. You could also add any wooden accent of your choice.

Of course, what would neutral be without changing the look of your floors and walls? Complete this look by painting your dining room background with a neutral blue background. As for your floors, the cream 60×60 V-K tile from Floor Center will work perfectly well with your desired neutral interior.

 

Style with neutral backgrounds

[60x60] M116 + [30x30] I-3455-6

[60×60] M116 + [30×30] I-3455-6

At first, styling with neutral backgrounds can be tricky, if you’re not necessarily the kind of person who likes sticking in single-toned and monochrome colors. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. Using the right neutral-colored tile combination can bring out the best in your interiors.

Floor Center’s 30×30 tiles are the perfect fit for your living room walls. The I-3456-6 in particular boasts a light, yet rich beige color that is distinctively neutral. Have it installed as part of an alternating pattern with the I-3455-6 light brown tile. Make your living room feel like home by adding accents like contemporary, wooden, wall-mounted shelves for storage, and neutral-colored sectional sofas for the seating.

 

Focus on your layers and fixtures

[60x60] M91-4

[60×60] M91-4

Layering is one of the best ways to work with neutral colors. Layering can be done not only in your bedroom, but also in your dining rooms, kitchen spaces, living rooms, or even recreational rooms.

Aside from adding a bit of texture, layers can provide your room with a touch of liveliness and space. The more neutral elements you add to your bedroom, the more it will feel like you actually did a complete redesign and not just on your floors or walls.

Try working around with the same neutral color palette. For example, if you want to use cool, blue colors, incorporate it into your bedsheets, pillowcases, bedroom curtains, or wall paint. Mix up with colors like light steel blue, light cobalt blue, or dark pastel blue.

The right decorative fixtures can easily make your layers pop out. If you’ve ever done any home remodeling in the past, then you might have come across situations where your lighting or furniture simply doesn’t go together. With neutral-styled contemporary spaces, contemporary fixtures should be your go-to — the same goes with traditional fixtures. Don’t be afraid to decorate your space as you see fit, or else you’ll run the risk of bland looks that just seem empty.

 

Keep it simple

[60x60] V-D

[60×60] V-D

You certainly don’t want to overdo with neutral colors, which is why it’s important for you to keep in mind that simplicity is always key. This doesn’t mean that you won’t add any accents or elements of neutral interiors — this just simply means that you work within the neutral style to achieve that simple, yet sophisticated appeal.

With simple styles, you can still make your space more ergonomic. Try steering clear of haphazardly adding decorations and furniture here and there that don’t really match neutral styles. For example, for neutral tiled floors like the 60×60 M91-4, think of good color complements like darker neutral tones or shades.

On the other hand,  more vibrant shades of tiles like the V-D can fit any modern home that makes use of metal furnishings and decorations. If using this for your kitchen, a fresh set of steel appliances can already enhance the space.

 

Key Takeaway

Neutral colors appear to be bereft of color, but this is exactly what brings out their appeal. Many modern homes have been able to style with neutral looks through their furniture, tiles, decorations, and other accents.

In this article, you’ve discovered the many ways to use neutral colors for your space. When it comes to any home remodeling, it’s important that you exercise your creativity. Soon enough, you can have a neutral-inspired room that is fit to grace the covers of home design magazines.

If you’re also looking for new beds, try going for sunken looks, or low-height styles that can easily make your floors pop out. Look for light wood colors for bedside tables, cabinets, or drawers. Or, you can put your creativity to the test — experiment with custom-made, mounted bedside tables for the ultimate space-saver.

Terrazzo tile designs are your most trusted choice if you really want to add texture to your interior floors. While this type of design leans more into matte and rustic elements, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t make them a part of your contemporary remodeling. With the 61241P, it’s certainly possible.

Terrazzo tiles emphasize patterns and scattered stone-like textures. The style alone can already give your flooring the appearance of a continuous surface, or finish — but a larger format tile size in this design is what can truly emphasize the appeal. With this in mind, you may want to check out living room elements that are complementary to your terrazzo floors.

Start with darker colors for living room furniture like coffee tables or sofas. Check out sectional or mid-century modern sofas, for example. Your coffee tables, on the other hand, can come in modern or industrial appearances that work well with the terrazzo tiles.

The M6121-6 is another type of terrazzo tile on our list, but with finer flakes that can provide spacious looks for your bathroom flooring. While this design is certainly beautiful to look at, it also has a functional appeal to it. In particular, the matte finishing makes for a suitable, non-slip addition for your bathrooms.

Bring out the qualities of this style by incorporating more open-concept looks. Finish the entire look with exquisite additions like window walls, free-standing bathtubs, or glass shower enclosures.

Your kitchen space might likely be due for a much-needed home remodeling — and Floor Center has the best type of tile design to accompany that. Their black veined, large format Y1GL25GE can make your kitchen countertops more elegant, with its sleek look and finish.

Pair this tile with rows of black subway tiles for your backsplash for the ultimate contemporary kitchen. Looking for kitchen cabinet ideas? You may want to check out flat panels, or slab cabinets. Complete the entire kitchen design with your choice of single, or double-basin stainless steel sinks and stylish appliances of the same material.

Don’t be daunted by the size of these tiles, because they’re your gateway to achieving elegant looks for your bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, or kitchen spaces.

  2. Black and gold LF6810
  3. Veiny-black style Y1GL25GE
  4. White-stone look Y1GL17GE
  5. Polished black LF6833

 

Do you find your kitchen old and shabby? Maybe it’s due for a renovation. You can come up with a wide range of designs for your countertops to breathe some life into the space. Fortunately for you, anyone can brighten up their space. There’s no wrong time to change how your kitchen looks. If you’re looking for the best home kitchen countertop ideas then you need not look further, because Floor Center’s tiles have got you covered. Check out some of the tiles that you may love.

 

Natural stone-look LF6708

Natural Stone

At some point in your life, you’ll come across kitchen styles that are able to tread the fine balance between natural and contemporary looks. Well now’s your chance to achieve that! The natural stone look of the LF6708 offers a sleek finish for your home without breaking the bank.

The LF6708 appears to have a fun, galactic design that you’ll surely love. Its beauty is enhanced by the lovely streaks of rose gold that surround the tile’s jet black color. Though the two colors belong to opposite sides of the design spectrum, what you’ll get is a perfectly-complemented look that simply works.

If you want to complete the look add a black subway tile backsplash with the 07NDH1. This kitchen countertop tile is also best paired with white Shaker-style cabinets and drawers that can give your kitchen a more classic, yet contemporary feel. Finish off your space by adding a much-needed undermount stainless steel sink and adorn the countertop with a fresh new set of stainless steel appliances.

 

Black and gold LF6810

If you’re not really a fan of rose gold-colored detailing, then you may want to take a look at the LF6810. Much like the first tile on the list, this 60×60 tile would be the perfect addition to a newly-transformed kitchen space. This tile not only scores high on the design but also in functionality. It’s stain-resistant, meaning that any spill or dirt on the tile can easily be cleaned in just a few steps.

With its gold streaks, this countertop tile offers a slightly more yellow metallic look. For lighting fixtures, recessed kitchen lighting goes well with these countertops. Warm white light can easily provide a lovely shimmer as it bounces on the tile detailing.

This natural stone-look tile is best furnished with flat-paneled cabinet doors. If you want to add a backsplash, choose a white subway tile like the 12GAW1 for a neat appearance.

 

Veiny-black style Y1GL25GE

Basic designs don’t necessarily mean bland looks for your kitchen. Instead, their appearance can actually create a simplistic environment with the right styling. For a minimalist kitchen, the Y1GL25GE will do the job for you.

Unlike the first two countertop tiles on the list, the beauty of this black-veined tile stands out better under minimal or low-lighting conditions. When you’re choosing kitchen furnishing such as cabinets, lighting, sinks, it’s best to go for unassuming colors and styles that can still pull-off a rustic, yet modern look.

You may choose louvered wooden cabinets in darker shades. For the lighting, you can play around with the typical cabinet lighting installation, or install a fun spotlight that can enliven the entire space.

 

White stone-look Y1GL17GE

A departure from the black stone-look tiles that you have encountered in this article, the white stone-look Y1GL17GE makes for a lovely alternative. White-stoned, with minimal black streaks, this is the tile that can bring out the creativity in you.

Light colors like white are usually enhanced by more colorful counterparts, like black, blue, aqua green, or their pastel variations — some colors you might consider if you’re planning on adding a backsplash. The best thing about this tile is that you can play around with your choice of kitchen styles and designs because it’s just so easy to work with. Let’s say for example that you want to achieve a by-the-window kitchen counter layout — you can opt for popular styles like casement windows. Or, you could also go for the unconventional window-types like sliding or garden windows.

 

Polished black LF6833

The LF6833 polished black tile by Floor Center is similar to the white stone, in terms of the level of detailing, but the difference is that the colors are reversed. This doesn’t mean that you can’t put on the same level of creativity in designing your kitchen space around this countertop tile — but you’ll certainly do well with a few design tips and tricks here and there.

For kitchen furnishings such as cabinets, tables, and chairs, darker black varieties can easily bring out the sleekness of the entire space. Louvered cabinets that are in dark grey color are preferred not only because of their design — the slats present in louvered cabinets offer natural ventilation to create a cooler space despite the dark colors.

As for your lighting, on the other hand, a set of contemporary pendant light fixtures would do well to embrace the look of the countertops.

 

Key Takeaway

For your home kitchen countertop ideas, Floor Center’s natural-look tiles paired with their subway tiles are always the best choices. The tiles on this list are so versatile — you won’t have difficulty in finding the right countertop tile that works for you! With these polished and glossy-surface tiles, you’ll soon be able to create a fully-transformed, eye-catching look.
