Any suggestions for living room makeover?

Hi guys, I've been thinking of doing a small makeover for my living room in preparation for the upcoming CNY in jan. I'm not looking to do a massive make over, just a change of furniture, fresh paint of wall, etc. Any suggestions on what I can do for my living room? If any one has experience of going through a makeover for their homes on their own, could you please share?

HI Evan,

I think you have answered your own question.

A quick makeover usually involves acquiring some new furniture, change of curtains, fresh lick of paint or simply some new scatter cushions and a plant.

It all depends on what you are looking for, how much you want to change and of course more importantly what your budget will allow.

You could stretch the budget a little by perhaps painting only one wall and why not do it yourself and make it a little project and save money as well. Money that perhaps could be used for something else.

Its not easy to give you an exact idea of a concept or budget unless we know what you want and would like from your space. Your existing pieces of furniture, curtains, art etc will play a huge part. That is if you decide to keep or change what you dont like?

Is there some piece of furniture or art that you feel you need or want or would like?

Browse through some magazines and scroll online for some great ideas. Gather some ideas and if you still are not certain then heed the help of a professional who might give you some ideas.

Whether its a small makeover or a full on renovation, remember that every item adds up to your budget. So make certain of what you would like before you start.

Hope that helps, if not give us a call and we would gladly come around for a cup of coffee.

Thanks for your comments, its great to discuss with houzers! You are so right @decoenthusiaste the view is beautiful and one reason why I chose the apartment. the room is longer than it is wide, and I wanted the kitchen/bar to be included in the seating so the attached pic is how I was planning to lay it out. @cdrdesign I can't/change the table, its a gorgeous mahogany piece I had custom made and one I see keeping for some years yet! I dont plan a TV in this room, will put it in another room. This room in for living and entertaining guests. Sorry I dont have layout software, so you will have to make do with my scribbles using powerpoint! Could really do with help on choosing the light fitting in place of the central fan- what would look nice here or should I wait till the furniture gets here to choose the light to match?

Hi Trishtham, you can consider to have a see through TV feature wall or a glass panel wall with lower part as your TV console to create the location for TV and space for wall outside bedroom 2 as the location for sofa. If You want a spacious living room space, can even consider to extend the study room wall to push the TV feature further towards dining area.

Hi Ibrahim29 Md, some ideas here. This home styled by Boconcept responded to the client's request to turn the living room into a reading corner: https://www.houzz.com.sg/projects/1385019/kate-jin-and-juliens-home and in this project, the service yard seems to harmonise well with the kitchen, even though divided by a screen: I'll leave it to the experts to give more comments!
