Absolutely every house has a living room. Even if the apartment is very small, and the room has to be combined with a dining room or bedroom. So, the interior decoration of this room should be given special attention. Further in the article - atypical practical recommendations that will help to beautifully and correctly furnish the room.
Define the center
Most often, the main place in any room is occupied by a sofa. It is on it that friends and relatives gather to watch their favorite films or just have a heart-to-heart conversation. Do not push upholstered furniture against the wall, wanting to save a little space. Do not be afraid to put the sofa in the center of the living room, building the rest of the interior around it. With a competent approach, such a solution will be convenient and advantageous.
Play big. Let the sofa be bright, with unusual upholstery. Complete the sofa with ottomans, armchairs, a coffee table, suitable in style and size. Place all these elements in the center.
And avoid bulky corner sofas. Most often, this option upholstered furniture is not so practical. At the same time, it takes a lot of free space and destroys the style of the interior.
Match colors correctly
If the hall is small, it is better to design it in bright colors and use mirrors to visually expand the space. Furniture, decor and lamps should not be too massive.
If space allows you to roam, you should not go to extremes. Watch for harmony, avoid variegation and bad taste.For example, do not choose too bright patterns for wall decoration.
It is better to design them in one color, while making a bright accent on a specific section of the wall. Do not hesitate, it will look much better.
For those, who try to avoid extravagant decisions, but still want to add originality to the interior, it is recommended to place accents. When the floor, walls and tiles are made in muted shades, bright pillows, furniture upholstery, colorful carpets, original paintings and decor look especially advantageous and stylish.
Do not forget about the windows
When the hall has quite large windows, you can focus on them. Decorate the openings with stylish curtains that blend with the overall interior.
Let yourself fireplace
Everyone wants to have a home hearth. And it doesn’t matter if you live in a luxurious mansion outside the city or in a modest odnushka. In the first case, you can really afford a real fireplace with firewood, elegant wrought iron accessories. And in the second - to establish a high-quality imitation of fire. And then already the hearth will become the center of the hall along with upholstered furniture.
But, of course, not everyone needs such an element of the interior in modern conditions.
Put emphasis
Go into the hall and notice that the first thing that catches your eye. If this window - decorate the window. If the wall - we work with it. You can highlight it with contrasting trim or put a cozy armchair against the background. The whole room should be harmonious, with well-designed “focus points”. Even if the zone that attracts attention is highlighted first, do not forget to work with the others.
Create an atmosphere
Take a break from the advice of fashion designers and think about what your dream room should be like. What colors, materials, decor will be in it?
Someone adores natural wood and feels as comfortable and pleasant as possible in a room with just such a finish.
Work with the light
The number and size of lighting equipment depends on the dimensions of the space. The larger the area of your living room, the more massive the chandelier you can afford.
Wherein an important role is played not only by the perimeter of the room, but also by the height of the ceilings. The larger it is, the more tiered can be a chandelier. If the ceilings are low, it is better to choose a chandelier, where the bulbs are located in one row. The optimal distance from the lamp to the floor is 2 m.
The style of the chandelier should also not conflict with the overall interior design. The massive crystal chandelier does not exactly fit into the austere modern interior. Conversely, spotlights will look out of place in a baroque-style living room.
If necessary, you can zone the space with the help of lamps. For example, next to an armchair and a bookshelf, you can put a high floor lamp.
And if the hall is combined with the dining room - knead the chandelier above the table.
Divide into zones
Since most of the country's population lives in small-sized apartments, the most urgent question is how to correctly combine the room with the dining room, bedroom or other rooms. There are many practical solutions for such situations. In this case, we are not talking about installing a blank wall. You can separate one part of the room from the other with the help of a sofa, table or shelving.
It is important that the rack or cabinet is not massive. Otherwise, you will achieve the opposite result.
Look at interesting design options
Here are some examples of competent and stylish design of the hall. Get inspired and get new ideas for yourself.
- Variant of stylish and elegant design of a modern living roomwhile this situation will be universal. Restrained and noble shades of brown and beige were used for wall decoration. In the same color scheme, furniture and decor are selected. Against such a background, the scarlet armchair, decor and textiles look very advantageous and harmonious.With proper use, even such a bright and sometimes aggressive color looks excellent. The room has some furniture, but has everything you need: a sofa that can accommodate all guests, a large plasma TV, a coffee table.
- Elegant, light, filled with light and air, the interior. A successful combination of white, green, coffee and raspberry always looks harmonious. Color accents a bit - pillows and plants. But for a room of this size, this is the optimal amount. The black technique contrasts with the decor, but it looks good, because the finish is pretty neutral.
- A good example of elegant zoning of space. A wall that separates the areas of work and rest, not deaf, but with a beautiful stained glass window suitable for style. This visually unloads the space, giving it at the same time originality and grace. In general, the interior is made in bright, eye-pleasing colors, which is a competent solution for a living room of this size. For small spaces it is necessary to use exclusively light shades.
- Loft style living room option. Here you see an effective way of dividing the bedroom and the hall using a transparent wall. The interior is made in rather dark shades. But due to the fact that the room has little furniture and decor, the design looks great. This is a great outlet for studio owners.
