Your living room should be the perfect retreat for when you want to put up your feet. It’s one of the most important rooms in the home because it’s where you spend quality time with your family and where you entertain guests.

Our remodeling contractors in Round Rock, Texas, can help you design the perfect living room. Here are the best living room renovations that will maximize space and comfort:

1. Choose the right wall colors or wallpaper

First things first: You should choose the right colors for your living room. Any color that’s too loud or a wallpaper that’s too garish can create tension—which is counter to the room’s purpose of being a peaceful and tranquil space where everyone can relax.

Wallpapers in pastel tones are perfect for a Texas living room. Deeper colors like reds and greens will also work, provided they’re in muted tones.

2. Add a fireplace

A fireplace will instantly make your living room a much cozier and welcoming space. It can be functional or decorative—or both. There are a lot of options, from gas to traditional fireplaces. You can talk to our remodeling contractors in Round Rock, Texas, to discuss how you can add a fireplace to your living room.

3. Open it up

If your living room feels cramped, chances are you have too many walls. Homes built in the 1970s and ’80s notoriously compartmentalized living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, etc. Today’s newer homes leave these rooms open to create a feeling of more space. If your kitchen shares a wall with your living room, have an architect draw out what would happen if you removed the wall to clear the view between the kitchen and the living room. If it’s a load-bearing wall, you can either add a heavy-duty truss or keep the supports and build a breakfast area around them. Either solution creates a more open space.
