Start with a blank canvas.  Remove all the accessories, including rugs and throw pillows, from the room.  Now think about the purpose of the room.  Is it used daily or is it used only when friends and family come over?  Is it an all-purpose room that is used to relax, watch TV, read and maybe even dine?  Decide what items you really want in the room and what is needed for the most comfort.

Consider the layout of the room and try placing furniture in a whole new arrangement that will better suit the activities you enjoy in the room.  Sketch ideas out on paper and measure furniture.  Compare measurements to decide where else in the room furniture will fit.  The same can be done with artwork for the walls.  Cut out paper the size of each piece and arrange it on the floor to see how it will look.  Keep similarly framed or themed pieces together for uniformity.

Study other rooms in the house.  Are there pieces of furniture or accessories that would fit better in another room?  Think about how you can repurpose items to fit your needs in a different room.  Gradually start adding items back into the room.  Before you know it, you will have an entirely new room.
