Want to freshen up your family room, living room, or great room? Here are 11 tips to bring some new inspiration to your room.

1. Fill any unused corner or shelf with some greenery. It will add some warmth and a great focal point.
2. Update your brick fireplace or wood paneling with some fresh white paint.
3. Streamline your TV — go for a slim TV and wall mount so your TV can sit flat against the wall. Then have your wires thread through the wall.
4. Low furniture — if you have an open floor plan having lower furniture makes it feel more open and cozy.
5. Define rooms — define individual areas of your open floor plan with area rugs.
6. Add fabric boxes or baskets on a shelf to hide items so the room doesn’t look cluttered.
7. Make a statement with your rug — the key to subtle color may lie at your feet with a colorful, patterned rug.
8. Your curtains — replace heavy fabric curtains with sheer ones to let in natural light. If you have a tall ceiling make sure to hang your curtains about a foot above your window to accentuate the height.
9. Accents — look to the opposite color spectrum for accent pieces to tie everything together.
10. Mix it up — add in natural texture like wood, stone, brick, or wicker.
11. Adding bright white shiplap can create the illusion of added space.
