TIPS ON HOW TO DESIGN YOUR LIVING ROOM INTERIORS
COLOR PALETTE
The colors you choose for your living room will affect how guests feel in the space. Colors can enliven or relax a room depending on their intensity, warmth or coldness. A calming color scheme of soft blues and whites gives this spacious living room a calming, cool and calming feel. A tan rug underfoot warms the space and balances the cool tones.
FUNCTION & BEAUTY
It's important to have a room that suits your taste and lifestyle. If you need extra storage, look for attractive items that blend well with the rest of your decor while hiding small items. Similarly, a super-stylish sofa might catch your eye, but it's no good if it's not comfortable. The most important element of a beautifully designed living room is that it is a place where you actually want to be.
WALL & CEILING FINISHES
Traditionally, the walls of the living room are treated more elaborately or formally than the rest of the room. Choose wallpapers and treatments that reflect your style to create a welcoming space that expresses your personality.
ARCHITECTURAL MOULDINGS
Moldings serve a practical purpose of covering the seams where floors and ceilings meet walls and supporting the structure around openings. But these elements also serve aesthetic purposes. Molding styles, whether classic, contemporary, vintage or regional, help give your home a distinctive look. Overhanging lintels, deep cornices and panels over doors and windows and beamed ceilings give this whitewashed living room a sense of space.
FLOORING
In the living room choose flooring that provides walking comfort and also makes a design statement. If you prefer a less conspicuous floor, choose a solid, neutral floor that allows furniture and art to draw attention. Hardwood floors with rugs are one of the most popular living room flooring options, but ceramic tile, stone tile, and full-length carpet also work.
FOCAL POINT
focal point anchors the living room and helps draw you into the room. Fireplaces are the natural focal points of hearths and homes, but in most living spaces, the true focus of attention is the television. Pair them up to prevent them from conflicting. A beautiful view or a stunning work of art can also be the focal point of the room. The fireplace takes center stage in this calm and chic living room
FURNITURE ARRANGEMENT
The living room is a space where people gather, so use furniture arrangement to encourage conversation and interaction. Drag the sheet piece away from the wall. If you have a large living room, divide it into two conversation groups to create a more comfortable and intimate atmosphere. Chairs and stools that can be pulled into the group as needed help maintain intimacy while expanding the circle.
ATTRACTIVE LIGHTING
Living room lighting should be designed to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Aim for a layer of light and place the light sources so that they form a roughly triangular shape to ensure good light distribution. Focusing the light downward, the table lamp invites you to sit back and relax. Overlapping arcs of light illuminate the seats rather than the upper walls, sending a message to sit down.
WINDOWS
Heavy window coverings are almost a thing of the past, but the living room is a place of sophistication and luxury. The combination of muted tones and floor-to-ceiling curtains is understated yet elegant. Elegance comes from the generous use of fabric in the curtains. It's not luxurious, but the thick folds and puddle edges convey luxury. Shade blocks light and provides privacy when needed
