The living room is the calling card of every home.
This is a space where you receive guests, relax with family, read books and chat in the evenings.
That’s why it’s so important for the living room to be as cozy, comfortable and reflect the individuality of the owners as possible, says Yulia Tychino .
With the right approach, you can turn a boring room into a real work of design art. The main thing is to take into account your needs and tastes, not be afraid of experiments and be creative.
Let's look at the main nuances of arranging a living room and give useful advice on how to create an atmosphere of home comfort and coziness.
Choice of style and color scheme
The first thing to start with is to decide on the style in which the living room will be decorated. It can be classic, modern, minimalist, Provence and many other styles.
It is important to choose a style that will harmonize with the overall interior of the apartment and match your tastes.
An equally important point is the choice of color scheme. Warm shades create coziness and comfort, cold ones - a feeling of freshness and space. You can use contrasting combinations or nuanced transitions.
The main rule is not to overdo it with bright colors, so that the living room does not look defiant. The best option is to maintain the overall color scheme in calm tones, and make bright accents in small details: pillows, vases, paintings.
Selection and arrangement of furniture
When choosing furniture for the living room, first of all you need to decide on its purpose. This can be:
- Space for receiving guests. Then you will need soft sofas, armchairs, coffee tables.
- Rest and reading area. It is worth putting comfortable chairs, a sofa, hanging lamps.
- A place to watch TV. A TV, sofa or chairs are required.
- Playroom for children. Poufs, a soft carpet, a low table will do.
After this, you can select furniture of the desired style, size, materials. It is important to correctly arrange it taking into account the features of the room, ensuring free movement.
Decor and accessories
The final stage is decorating the living room. Here you can show your imagination and creativity to make the space truly unique.
