With the country starting to reopen, it might finally be time to stop hoarding toilet paper. Which means it might also be time to kick all that extra stuff out of your living room—like the surplus of cleaning supplies, kitchen-overflow of canned soup, and the many, many bottles of water.
It’s the perfect time to give your space a face-lift. After months of quarantine, I'm all about ready for a makeover (or, at the very least, a haircut and a Mani-Pedi). While you probably can’t redesign your wardrobe or tame your hair just yet, I can at least lend a hand when it comes to giving your living room a fresh, new look.
Here are five of the best trends on Instagram, this time focused on taking your living room out of quarantine and into the summer.
You've probably noticed giant floor mirrors before, but rarely have we seen one quite this massive—and round. .
We are so used to the obligatory vertical floor mirror with sharp angular edges that this large, round mirror is a perfect change. A large, round mirror bounces light all around your room, creating a welcoming vibe.
The year's decor trends are big on bringing us back to nature, which is just one of the reasons I love this textured chandelier.
Adding a natural material chandelier in any room of your home offers an organic and modern update. People love this trend because of the familiar material that’s presented in an unusual way—making for a bold statement in any home.

Black and white stripes are making a big comeback this summer, as evidenced by this trending post from the living room of @boho.helene.
These stripes are a sophisticated way to add some character and pattern to the space without creating extra noise. Black and white stripes are a neutral color-block that creates interest, yet they’re easy on the eye and don’t distract or take away from the overall design.

You’re probably not feeling like royalty these days, but this gorgeous lamp featured by @sea_tribe might change your mind.
This brass palm tree floor lamp is an art piece and lighting all in one. Bringing the organic shape of the palm tree offers your room a hint of the outdoors, whether you live in Texas, Miami, or Iowa. This style also brings personality to a living room, and the brass finish adds some color and sophistication.

Who says you need a fresh coat of paint to make a wall pop? Not @eclectic_goods, which is positively rocking this 3D all-white accent wall in the living room.
Adding depth is a timeless look for any room, and if you want an alternative to simply adding another piece of artwork, this is the solution for you. This trend allows homeowners to personalize their walls without any construction—since an accent wall like this one can be done using peel-and-stick applications.
