Tips for a quick lounge room refresh
Ready to revolutionise the way you and your family relax? Get comfortable because it’s time to refresh your living room. From ultra-cushy couches to Insta-worthy décor and accessories, here are our top tips for leveling up your lounge.
Who doesn’t love curling up on the sofa for some much-needed R&R after a long day?
Whether you switch on the series you’ve been binging, grab a good book, or spend some quality time with the ones you love, the lounge room is one of the most important spaces in your home. And that means it should be top of your list when it comes to updating your interior space.
The best bit? There’s no need to spend big on your lounge room makeover. A quick declutter and a few upgrades can transform the look and feel of the area. If you’re loving the latest interior design trends or want to inject more of your personality into your interior design, give the following three tips a try!
Take a Seat
Sprawling sofas and sophisticated armchairs are synonymous with the modern living room. So, if your couch is looking a little tired and worn, now could be the perfect time to upgrade.
Lounges and armchairs are significant investments, so choose wisely. They also form a basis for other accessories and décor items like throws, cushions, rugs, and wall art. Opting for a neutral-toned fabric is always a safe bet – soft greys and biscuit hues are timeless options. Finally, prioritise comfort. You might find the sofa of your dreams, but if it isn’t comfortable, don’t buy it.
Luxe lounging
If you’re going to invest in one ultra-luxe item in your lounge room, make it the couch. This generous leather Marlo Modular Lounge can be configured to suit your space and features an electric reclining mechanism and adjustable headrests for customisable comfort.
Put your feet up
Slouchy linen-look couches are a hot spring trend, but if you already have a lounge you love, this marshmallow-soft ottoman is a fantastic alternative. The worn-in fabric gives off a chic bohemian vibe, while the warm, earthy tone seamlessly blends with your existing décor.
Statement seating
Take cloud-like comfort to a whole new level with this show-stopping armchair. Boasting a dreamy modern design and cosy, textured fabric, this chair doubles as an art piece. If you’re not into this contemporary design but like the statement chair idea, look for a silhouette you like in a bold colour or pattern.
Light The Way
Lighting makes a big difference to the look and feel of a room. Ceiling lights can be harsh – especially if you don’t have dimmers – but lamps add warmth and cosiness. So ensure your lounge room has ample mood lighting. This Hamptons-inspired lamp is a fantastic choice. The white and blue colour pairing also creates a beachy aesthetic.

Wind Down Your Way
Your home reflects who you are, what you like, and the experiences you cherish. So if you embark on a lounge room refresh, consider how you can personalise the space even further through eccentric accessories, unique wall art, and other character-filled details. There are no rules when it comes to your home, so have fun with bold wall hangings, 70s-style cushions, extravagant pendant lights, or whatever it is that makes your heart sing.

Mirror, mirror
The brass trend is going nowhere fast, so if you love it, there’s still time to embrace it. This quirky mirror features a minimalist shape and sleek finish that nods to industrial design. Hang on your lounge room wall opposite a window to maximise natural light.
Boho bliss
Boho style oozes playful originality, so if you’re looking to add that extra something special to your lounge room, look no further. This round Moroccan rug adds texture and interest without compromising your calm, neutral colour scheme. It’s the best of both worlds.
Functional art
Express yourself with a throw that does so much more than keep you warm on cooler nights. The handmade LOKALT throw shows alleyways, houses, and pockets of greenery complete with embroidered details and vibrant tassels.
