The living room is the center of attention
The living room is the widest field for creativity, and it is here that the tastes and preferences of customers of finishing, their financial investments in repairs find their expression in the maximum plan. This is an important room that is used not only for receiving guests, but also for recreation, for meetings of the whole family, and therefore it is very important to make such a room unique and the most comfortable. It is worth considering the possibilities for the layout of such a room, colors and design features.
As a rule, the most spacious room becomes the living room, and meeting here, each of the family members should find comfort, and therefore, this territory should be arranged taking into account the interests of all family members. Moreover, there are no mandatory canons in the arrangement of such rooms, and you can consider a variety of design options – there will be much more opportunities than when working with any other room. And therefore, it is here that you will be able to fully implement even your most unusual ideas and developments, experiment to your heart's content. A variety of forms and solutions can well be embodied in this space, and the main point here is the need to turn to a professional designer.
As an example, we will consider a classic living room, where the space is organized using order columns, balusters and capitals. To create a luxurious atmosphere, you can use veneer ceiling panels, made of ash or oak, velvet or satin wallpaper. A long wall can create a space along itself for installing a large buffet or a slide with a luxurious finish, open or glazed shelves can contain collectibles and various rarities. And in the corner you can find a place to install a fireplace. Dressers, sofas are comfortable and with great depth – all this can find a place in the living room.
While working on the arrangement of such a space, a person can think about the options for the functional load for such a territory. After all, this is a really serious issue: this territory is being created both for family holidays and as a guest, for holidays and simple meetings. Within the framework of a spacious country house, it is usually possible to find a place for two living rooms, if necessary, and to equip one territory for guests, and the other – directly for the needs of the family, but if we talk about city apartments, then such an approach is usually not feasible here. And therefore, guest and family needs should be successfully combined within a single territory. At the same time, the guest and family parts can be either divided or combined. You can use the techniques of an open interior, or "flowing".
The first of these options is well suited for large-sized premises, and zoning in this state of affairs can be provided with internal structures located at the floor level. So, a bar counter or any other element can be raised to the podium, and at the same time provide the brightest lighting. Going down a couple of steps from here, a person can get into another space with dimmed lights and a deep sofa, TV and other devices for a relaxing holiday.
Combining the zones, it is necessary to think about both your family and guests, so that everyone has a territory for a pleasant pastime and all the opportunities for this. So, if there is upholstered furniture for recreation, there should be a dining table and chairs at hand, and paintings and souvenir collections can be hung on the walls. You can also put a piano near the TV. You can put all the necessary items in the living room demonstratively, or you can do something slightly different and make it mimic. You can arrange it in the form of a music salon, a home theater, a reading room. Someone likes the design option in the form of a billiard room.
A single space in the living room
The ideal solution would be to make the living room in the form of a single common space that will connect all the home premises, but the layout may not always allow such an approach. And therefore, there are tips that suggest such a design of it only in a situation when it really becomes the space that is connected with all the rooms and is located in their center. Ideally, the living room is connected to the hallway, and the corridor communicates it with personal rooms. With this state of affairs, you can use all the variety of architectural solutions, use columns, stairs, and all other elements. All this can significantly diversify the interior.
In the recent past, the interior of the living room usually featured wall cabinets, armchairs and floor lamps, coffee tables, televisions – this solution is already outdated. Today, living rooms are decorated with convenience and taste, choosing original furniture, and the interior is selected in a unified and harmonious way. Furniture can be used both bulky and ephemeral, you can use sliding solutions, and the main thing is that all this creates a comfortable and comfortable atmosphere for you.
Color design of the living room
As for the colors of the design – this is a free matter, and for the most part it depends on the customer's ideas about the beautiful. You can use muted shades, or all the riot of colors. In this regard, it is only important that the colors are combined and create a single interior. It is worth choosing the main color of the design in advance, and playing with its shades and combined tones. You can create a common background using contrasts. So, the furniture can contrast with the shades of the walls, creating an interesting game.
You should not delve into professional tips on choosing colors, it would be reasonable to just review the basic rules that are worth remembering. Thus, visual stability is created by combining a light top with a dark bottom. The height can be visually increased by painting the ceiling in light shades, and the walls – in darkened ones. If you perform a reverse painting, then the space can be expanded, and the problematic proportions of the room can be successfully corrected.
If you paint the room evenly in light colors, you can achieve the effect of its expansion. Differentiated coloring allows you to create three-dimensional effects, it is even possible to highlight niches. If the design of the room is monotonous, then the use of shades and playing with them can help in eliminating the problem. In addition, if you use different colors for wall decoration, you can create a very lively design. The space is strongly compressed by colorful carpets with large ornaments.
Using these rules, you can create an unusual interior, but if you are not completely sure – it will be better to turn to professionals. They will definitely be able to help you in the design of the living room.
