Living room design is a complex and responsible task.
The living room is the center of the house and should be given harmony and comfort.
The basic design rules for the room presented will help you create a space that will look balanced, says Yulia Tychino .
Dividing the living room into zones
Before you start decorating, figure out the function of the room in order to properly zone the living room.
Most often, living rooms in our apartments fit into the range of 12-18 sq.m. This is a small room. In this regard, the key areas of the living room are the dining and recreation areas.
The dining area is intended for the dining group. This is the place for formal dinners, and if you have a very small kitchen, then for everyday meals.
A fold-out sofa should be placed in the recreation area so that guests can sit comfortably. It should be compact and roomy at the same time.
Perhaps functionally different zones should be separated by a screen or a sliding partition. A two-sided shelf, which will also serve as a cabinet and console, will also do. It is convenient to place glasses, books, beautiful boxes with cutlery here.
Connecting the light
Most living rooms have at least two light sources. Sometimes you want to dim the lights and read your favorite book under a cozy lampshade. But a chandelier is always a ceremonial, bright light.
Therefore, think about the upper light (chandeliers, lamps), side (sconces) and lower (lamps, lamps). Consider the scheme with zones! For example, you can hang a beautiful chandelier over the dining area, and install a floor lamp next to the sofa.
Color selection
What colors do you enjoy being in most of the day? Are they warm or cool, muted or bright? Forget about traditional floral wallpaper. Find your style and color!
Beige is calm, relaxing, at the same time, boring, dependent. Beige interior should be diluted with contrasting furniture and bright accessories.
Brown is a conservative color, it is most often chosen by family people. It is not very suitable for hyperactive and freedom-loving owners.
Green fills the room with the freshness of spring. It is the color of independence and strong will. It is not very suitable for emotional owners, as they will quickly get tired of it.
Blue and light blue imbue the interior with calmness. You will easily relax in a blue living room. Although without bright accents it can inspire melancholy.
Gray symbolizes realism and common sense, but its abundance in the interior makes the room depressive and sad. White or brightly colored furniture will help to liven up gray walls. Also try painting one of the walls pink or purple.
