Living Room Design Tricks in My Apartment – These 5 Made the Biggest Difference

I recently decided to improve my living room without spending a lot of money.
After testing a bunch of ideas I found online and from interior designers,
these were the ones that actually made a noticeable difference.

1. Use layered lighting
   Instead of relying only on ceiling lights, adding a floor lamp and table lamp
   completely changed the atmosphere of the room.

2. Move the sofa away from the wall
   I always thought sofas had to be against the wall, but bringing it slightly
   forward made the room feel more intentional.

3. Add large wall art instead of many small frames
   One large piece of art made the wall look cleaner and more modern.

4. Use a larger rug than you think you need
   A bigger rug helped visually connect all the furniture.

5. Add plants for depth
   Even one tall plant in the corner makes the room feel more alive.

What was the biggest change that improved your living room?
