Many homeowners are feeling the itch for a living room redesign after spring cleaning. However, it’s important to avoid common living room design mistakes when planning a redesign or new paint. After all, a redesign should look better than before, right?living-room-design-mistakes

So when you’re redesigning your living room this year, just make sure you don’t make the following mistakes.

Don’t: Be afraid of color.

White and cream are popular colors for living rooms due to the calm, relaxing atmosphere they create. While there’s nothing wrong with these colors, don’t be afraid to go beyond beige! Many colors such as blues, greens, purples and more look great in a living room, even if just as accents. Pops of color are important to a well-decorated room.

Do: Update the wall paint.

A change of carpet, furniture and decorations isn’t enough to complete your living room redesign. Don’t forget about the walls, which can generally benefit from an update in paint color.

Don’t: Neglect wall decorations.

It’s important to have a mix of décor in a well-designed living room. When finding fixtures and surface-sitting decorations for your room, don’t forget to grab some wall décor as well. This can be paintings, clocks, lights or other wall-hanging fixtures. They add depth to your room.

Do: Switch up the lighting.

The traditional living room often relied on floor and desk lamps, as well as an overhead lamp (possibly). Modern lighting design and technology makes it possible to use a combination of lighting, such as recessed and wall lighting, to create a desirable atmosphere and feel to any room. Living rooms can benefit greatly from thought-out lighting choices.

Don’t: Be too matchy-matchy.

Furniture and décor should have some variation in styles and colors. Otherwise, your living room design will look plain and overly-coordinated. Instead of sticking entirely to collections, variate your style choices in both decorations and furniture. It will give the room more personality and is more aesthetically pleasing.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
