When your living room’s feeling flat, here’s the good news: you don’t need weeks, tradesmen, or paint fumes to fix it. With a few creative tweaks, you can give your space an artfully designed glow-up, by the time Sunday night rolls around.
At Privileged Prints, we’re all about easy, rebellious updates that make your space feel styled - not staged. Here’s how to make your living room look like you hired a designer… without lifting a roller.
Build a Bold Gallery Wall (Saturday Morning Project)
Stack your walls with attitude. Mix portraits, abstracts, and colour - perfection’s overrated, personality isn’t.
Start with a hero piece you love, then add supporting acts. You’ll be surprised how quickly a “blank wall” becomes a conversation starter.
Rebel tip: Use painter’s tape or paper cut-outs to plan the layout before you hang - instant confidence, zero chaos.
Add Colour, No Paint Required (Saturday Afternoon)
Skip the tins - let your art do the talking. Choose prints with bold reds, punchy blues, or moody greens to inject life without commitment.
A neutral backdrop plus expressive art = instant transformation. It’s your weekend shortcut to vibrancy.
Rebel tip: Swap cushion covers or throws to echo colours from your artwork - cohesion in ten minutes flat.

Style a Creative Corner (Sunday Morning)
Not ready to revamp the whole room? Curate one small zone - a reading nook, sideboard, or desk. Layer a few prints, a lamp, and a stack of books for a mini-gallery vibe.
It’s the easiest way to test new ideas and gain confidence before tackling bigger spaces.
Rebel tip: One well-styled corner often inspires a whole-room.
Go Curated for Instant Wow
Skip the guesswork and grab a ready-made gallery wall collection. No measuring drama, no second-guessing - just instant impact and zero faff.
Hang it, style it, and pour yourself something celebratory. You’ve officially redecorated - the easy way.

Add a Wildcard Detail (The Finishing Touch)
End your weekend project with a bang - a sculptural vase, a quirky lamp, or a piece of art that’s deliciously defiant. It’s the final spark that makes the room feel designed, not decorated.
Rebel tip: The best rooms always have one piece that doesn’t behave.
Redecorating, Reimagined
By Monday morning, your living room won’t just look refreshed - it’ll feel like you. No paint, no chaos, just bold art and confident energy.
So grab a hammer, a coffee, and your inner rebel. Your weekend project starts now.
Mix, match, or go all-in - the rebellion’s yours.
