Drapery

If you currently have heavy dark drapery, you can switch to a lighter fabric to soften the feel of your living room. For example, you can add a new full-length drapery that could be a flowing light linen or cotton for a change. You can also consider a feminine or floral pattern to make the room prettier.

Fabrics

You can consider using a piece of vintage fabric to cover your ottoman or chair, and then tuck in the sides to provide it an upholstered look. This will create an easy and simple change to your furnishings.

Rug

A rug can create a major change in the room, so you can add in one with a new and lighter colour. Something that has a light shade and a feminine pattern can be a quick solution.

Accessories

Add in some new throw or toss pillows, but make sure you go with the opposite shade to what you already have to make a big impact. For instance, if you currently have some dark solid colours, you can replace them with those having soft pastels and attractive patterns.
