Easy Upgrades to Transform Your Living Room in 2023

From new curtains and blinds to fresh paint and lighting, Somfy has put together some simple tips to help you upgrade your living room this season with smart home automation.

We spend a lot of time at home in our living rooms, so it is important to make our space feels inviting and comfortable, whether it’s just for you or for a whole family. There are several easy and highly effective ways that you can upgrade and transform your space, to make your environment more welcoming and your everyday life that bit easier.

Switching things around every couple of months is a simple way of keeping the space fresh and feeling new. Here are some easy ways that you can transform your living room, as well some ways Somfy can help with our range of home automation solutions.

A Fresh Coat of Paint

One of the easiest ways to switch things up in your living room is by repainting. It’s affordable and can be made into a fun family activity over the weekend. A fresh lick of paint makes the room feel brighter, cleaner and newer! It can even make the space feel larger, depending on the colour you choose.

Switch up the Lighting

By changing your light bulbs to a warmer hue, you can alter the mood of your living room instantly. Another option is to introduce dimmers, which can be used to change the lighting throughout the day and night, to better suit your mood. With devices like Google Smart Home and Amazon Alexa, you can also turn them on and off with a few words!

Alternatively, alter the natural light in your living room by updating your window coverings. By switching up your window coverings from drab shutters to automated curtains, you can simply and swiftly change the lighting and interior décor of your living room.

Introduce a Feature Wall

Feature walls are a fantastic way of upgrading and transforming a space. It’s quick, easy and relatively inexpensive! A feature wall can be anything from a simple paint job, using a contrasting colour on a single wall, to something more eccentric, such as an oversized art piece, wallpaper or a wall tapestry. You can even add in a gallery wall with your favourite family photos and artworks.

Introduce Smart Home Controls to Your Living Room

Smart home controls like Google Smart Home and Amazon Alexa, allows you to change the lighting, music and sound, curtains and blinds, and home appliances remotely. Depending on the smart home automation you choose, you can do all of this from your smartphone or with a voice command! This type of upgrade will transform your living room experience like nothing before.
