7 Budget Remodeling Ideas For Your Living Room in McLean, VA

Remodeling your living room can be a bit of a tricky thing — you may start off with a general idea that you want to improve the look of your living room, but without knowing for certain what you want to accomplish, it can get more difficult.

If you then add to that the fact that a living room remodeling can be costly, and you’re looking at quite a chore — but there are ways you can remodel that doesn’t cost as much.

Here are seven budget remodeling ideas for your living room in McLean, VA

1. Adding Art To The Walls

One thing that you might want to do is to get some art, perhaps art that you already have in the house, and to put it up on the wall.

The good thing about this is that it doesn’t necessarily have to be works of art that you would find in a posh gallery but things that represent what you like — you can even find works of art at your local coffee shop and support a local artist in the process.

2. Add An Accent Wall

An accent wall is a wall that is distinguished from the other walls in any given room and in the case of a living room, there are a number of ways that you can go about creating an accent wall.

One way is that you can paint the wall a color that is different from the other walls in the room — perhaps a contrasting color.

3. Look To Thrift Stores

Though some might suggest that the only places that you can get things for remodeling your living room are in upscale stores, this is not at all the case.

You can look to purchase some very nice things in thrift stores, which feature things that were previously owned and then donated for resale, usually for the benefit of a charitable organization — and get a good deal on these things.

4. Rearrange What You Have

Another thing to consider is to not even have to get anything new for your living room but rather to take what you already have and to rearrange it so that you change up the look of the living room that way.

It doesn’t take a lot of rearranging to make your living room look different and the price is pretty much free — of course, you do still have to put in the time to make it happen.

5. Put Down A Throw Rug

If there is nothing on the living room floor currently, that is to say, that you don’t have any kind of carpeting going on, you may want to consider getting a throw rug to put down on the floor to add a nice look to the room.

This too is the kind of thing where you might be able to find a good throw rug second hand, or depending on what time of the year you are looking to buy it, you could get a discount on the rug if they are having an annual sale.

6. Reupholster Furniture

Another option that you have available to you for remodeling your living room on a budget is to reupholster furniture that you already have.

The benefits of doing this are that you will have what appears to be new looking furniture at a lower cost, and a benefit to the environment — fewer things that need to be hauled out to a landfill.

7. Take Furniture You Already Have

Lastly, consider the option of taking furniture that you have in the house, perhaps in another room in the house, and replacing furniture in the living room with it.

The good thing about doing this is that you’re also going to be changing up the look of another room by doing so.
