Your living room should reflect the character, needs, and preferences of your family. Our LBcontracting team knows that this important room is called the ‘living space’ because it should be designed for living. As the place of comfort where you relax, enjoy entertainment, and bond with your family, it’s also often the first impression of your home for your guests.
When it’s time to improve your living space, our LBcontracting team will streamline the process and support you from planning to final inspection.
Living Room Renovation Ideas
The first step is to set your renovation objectives.

Wall Treatments
Accent or feature walls add dimension and storage space when you need it. They should be a well-designed contrast to the other walls, bringing a complementary pop of colour or pattern. Here are some of the most stylish and practical living room renovation ideas for accent or feature walls:
-
Paint one wall a darker colour
-
Choose a patterned wallpaper
-
Add wood paneling, Shiplap, or crown molding
-
Add a TV mount or a built-in cabinet, storage, or bookcase
-
Build a half-wall to separate a smaller area
Lighting Installation
From chandeliers and statement lighting fixtures to hanging pendant lights, lighting is just as important as colour when it comes to providing the ideal atmosphere for your space. You’ll need to consider whether you’d prefer ambient, accent, task, or recessed lighting. It’s best to select at least two types of lighting.
Flooring and Carpeting
From hardwood floors to plush carpets, the floor is one of the first aspects you see when you enter your living room. Consider the condition of your living room floor and whether you should replace it. Refinishing hardwood floors or simply adding a stylish rug can make a drastic difference. The floor should complement the walls, furniture, fixtures, and overall design of your space.
Furniture and Decor Selection
You’ll need to decide whether to rearrange your furniture or purchase new furniture. Like the dining table, your living room should have a centrepiece or focal point. It might be the TV cabinet, the vintage coffee table, the fireplace, the armchair corner, or your favourite painting that captures your attention as you walk through the entryway.
