왜 어울리는가
Most living rooms underperform for predictable reasons: furniture pushed against walls creating a dead center, an outdated color palette inherited from previous owners, mismatched lighting that is either too harsh or too dim, and accumulated clutter that obscures the room original proportions. A successful living room makeover addresses all four simultaneously rather than treating symptoms in isolation. The transformation begins with understanding the room bones — its shape, natural light, and architectural features — then layering in a cohesive design that maximizes those strengths.

자주 묻는 질문
How much does a living room makeover cost?
A textile-and-accessory refresh costs $500-$2,000. A furniture-inclusive makeover runs $3,000-$10,000. A full renovation with new flooring, lighting, and paint ranges from $10,000-$30,000+. Layoutly helps you visualize which changes have the highest impact so you can prioritize your budget.
What is the single most impactful change in a living room makeover?
Replacing the sofa. As the largest piece of furniture, it sets the entire room tone. A new sofa in the right color, scale, and style can make everything else in the room fall into place. If a new sofa is not in the budget, slipcovers or new throw pillows are the next best impact.
How long does a living room makeover take?
A weekend for a cosmetic refresh (rearranging, new textiles, accessories). Two to four weeks for a furniture-inclusive makeover (ordering and delivery time). Two to three months for a full renovation with painting, new flooring, and structural changes.
