You can update a boring room easily and inexpensively simply by changing the accessories. In the third part of this series, I’m showing you how to create a modern living room with a bold twist.

Update a Boring Beige Living Room: Graphic ModernUsing bold patterns and touch of color, you can create a modern room with plenty of visual interest.

  1. Swap out the plain white shade for a darker shade.
  2. This dip dye silk pillow is so much more interesting that the plain one that came with your sofa.
  3. I love this diamond print rug. It adds a ton of impact to the room.
  4. An ombre throw brings a much-needed pop of color to the space, and it’s super cozy to boot.

That’s it. Four easy steps and your living room has a graphic modern look!

It’s easy and inexpensive to update a boring room simply by changing the accessories. In the second part of this series, I’m showing you how to create a traditional room with a colorful twist.

Update a Boring Beige Living Room: Updated TraditionalTraditional doesn’t have to be boring. Here’s how to do it right:

  1. Replace the plain white shade with a dark gray satin shade.
  2. Get rid of the pillows that came with your couch and replace them with these vibrant ikat pillows.
  3. This bold overdyed rug has a traditional pattern, but the fresh, colorful pattern is anything but boring.
  4. A warm yellow throw finishes the look and pulls the pillows and rug together.

That’s it. Four easy steps and your living room has an updated traditional look!
