Let's talk about home decor. I can't be the only one who gets the itch to redecorate every once in a while, right? If only I were made of money I could! The thing is, you can transform a room with just a few items, and with Big Lots, you can do so without breaking the bank. They have a wide selection of accent furniture, frames, art pieces, pillows, rugs, throws...the list goes on! Here are some pictures of the "before".
Not too bad, but there's always room for improvement, right?! So I headed to Big Lots to grab a few keys items to give my living room a face lift.
When you go shopping for home decor items, have a color scheme in mind. I knew which colors were already in my living room, so I focused on those and tried not to add any extra color since my room is already bright!
I looked at their super cute accent furniture, but with our living room already full, I went with the golden rule of less is more. Don't over crowd your space, it will just make the room feel smaller. I started looking at their rugs and fell in love with at LEAST 3 or 4 designs. Their styles and assortment vary by store, but after going to a few different ones I can tell you each one has amazing options from patterned to plain, short to plush. I scored a huge rug for a great price.
I spent a good 15 minutes deciding on which clock to get because they had so many cute ones I couldn't decide! Then I grabbed a candle and 2 more frames to incorporate into the room.
I knew I wanted to add to the wall to fill it out more. When designing a gallery wall, remember to take your time. Lay out all your items, re-arrange, re-arrange, sleep on it, then re-arrange again.
I added the candles and frame to the side table which cleaned up the area!
The rug made all the difference! I got an amazing deal for an even bigger rug than what was originally in there, & it brightens up the room immensely! The size of the rug gives a more welcoming feel for my son’s "play area, and for me too!
So here's the after! (Bear with me, this room is a little difficult to photograph!)
This giant clock was just the big piece I needed to add into my gallery wall to fill it out! The gold frame (from Big Lots) adds another pop of gold in, and I hung the C right inside.
Big Lots helped me make the room feel so much more full and welcoming! I got a mini living room makeover and I didn't have to spend a lot while getting a great selection!
