5 Ways To Make Your Living Room Look Like An Hgtv Masterpiece

HGTV is definitely the global ambassador of renovation and remodeling ideas. Everyone seems to love their featured projects, tips, and useful hacks, which is why today, we’ll be doing a Singaporean version of 5 ways you can make your living room look like an HGTV masterpiece. Let’s take a look:

1. Be simple to live simple

Simplicity is always the best way to design a living room that’s as open ended as found in most Singaporean homes. Choose simple furniture and keep things as minimal as possible while you’re configuring the layout.

2. Paint that accent wall

You can even experiment with various texture techniques. Many DIY-ers swear by the “corn roller” where an actual piece of corn is used as a paint roller to get a unique texture. You can also go for sponge texturing, hand-drawn designs, and more!

3. Accenting never fails

This may include statement furniture pieces, artwork, accessories, and even light fixture. But beware: you can only ever use one of these. More than that would create two or three focal points, which would ultimately take away from the overall visual experience of your space.

4. Experimenting with casual furniture

This isn’t so hard to do, because most Singaporean homes have a small amount of left-over space in their living rooms. You can use it to design a special ‘relaxation nook’ that features bean bags, a bookcase loaded with your favorite books, and a gorgeous accent piece to cap things off nicely.

5. Choosing the lights

A mixture of cool and warm lighting can be used to create layers of illumination for that perfect HGTV effect. A good thumb rule in this regard would be making the ambient light cool and using the warmer tones for accenting.
