Is your style traditional or modern, relaxed or formal, bolded or subdued, your living room should be a place where you can feel comfortable, let the guard and spend quality with friends, family or only. The art is to decorate the room that looks great and works well for you. So bEFORE in a dive into the living room redesign with its professionalism, weapon with several design advice and tricks. Here are some of my favorites.
2 contrast of your neutral
Behind you both white and some black, decorating the living room with a variety of contrasting neutral goes a long way towards the desired and welcome. In this example, white walls, beige wall wall and floors, caramel leather set and pillows, dark tables and white sofas, all oppose each other, emphasizing their different finishes and submitted. Therefore, the palette feels rich and before other key elements, such as the form and texture, are added.
3. Play with the texture
The texture is easy to ignore when decorating the living room, especially because we don’t see it as much as they touch. But it is important that the living room feels comfortable, and it becomes a stuffing texture that complain about touch and saws that add contrast. Include skin, cotton, wool, metal, stone, glass, life plants and as many other textures you can.
Pillows are a great place to start, especially if you decorate the living room on the budget. Look for other accessories and furniture to add new materials on the palette, even in small doses.
4. Work in some wood
We can’t talk about the texture without talking about a tree, one of the best materials for making feelings of warmth in the living room.
There are so many ways to add wood, of whom anyone will make the space feel a little more more invited. Consider laundering walls, side tables, moving chairs, pictures for images, feet and cut artists as just a few many options.
5. Mix upholstery
Of course, most furniture stores will give you the opportunity to buy the entire living room set in appropriate upholstery, but that does not mean that you need to do so. In a formal seating area, a coincide matches can give a feeling of maturity and orders, but if you want the living room to feel comfortable and welcomed, and match and match upholstered pieces to give the design a little more personalities.
One of the safest ways to do this is to mix leather chairs with a sofa on fabric or vice versa, so materials differ in obviously intentional. It gives a living room design some diversity, which can also give members of family different options to suit their seating preferences.
6. Choose practical fabrics
When we talk about the upholstery, it is especially important for the living room that is situated not only pleasant, but durable. What it means will depend on your family. You may have babies or small children, pets or not, and may be messy or tidy. In general, medium tone fabrics are the safest bet, because very light or dark shades will easily display soil and wear.
The skin is great material to avoid stains because it can be easily wiped when spilling happens. However, it is usually easier to scratch from most fabrics, so it may not stand animals. The skin that already has a broken look or pattern can take a special good.
Denim and Corduroi are two other materials that can be called, and yet permanently. In addition, they add an unexpected turn compared to typical ordinary covers of cotton or wool you often see in stores.
When choosing a fabric for a living room, search material with connecting natural and synthetic fabrics to get the practical characteristics of both, and if possible, check the fabric bending test to ensure that the weaving firmly becomes weight and does not detect the substrate. The firm weaving will be more durable than loose (which leaves a lot of space to hide dirt), regardless of the material.
7. Add a dock cartoon
Although you can create a beautiful space without any bivid nuances, adding even a little color in the living room, can go a long way towards creating relaxed and atmosphere.
When you are in doubt, look a cheerful blue – it is a shade that everyone can usually agree. It oppresses perfectly with warm elements such as skin and wood and feels neutral enough to work basically and any other future colors.
8 Add a mat with pattern
The sample is a powerful design tool, used with a living room with energy and minimizes the appearance of stains or wear. The mat in the sample brings these advantages to the “fifth wall” – sub – simultaneously anchored area for seating and giving the whole room of life. Even if you already have carpets, consider adding carpets to a seating area. The first time you turn it over to go to cleaners after big spill, you will be happy to have there.
9. Choose moving tables and chairs
Lightweight tables, chairs, soles and even side chairs that can easily make a living room much more comfortable, giving you your family a lot of options every day to put your feet, asking a drink down or asking an additional guest every day.
Use several smaller pieces, such as upholstered feet that can be seen here, to allow the movement of pieces closer and further from the main seating as needed.
10. Consider discussed distances
No matter how big a living room, there is a limit in how much a large seating group can be and still makes sense for intimate conversation and pleasant expensive. The good distance between the speaking seat is about 8 feet, which means you have several sofa or sofas and side chairs, the seating area should have a diameter of 8 feet or 4 meters from the center.
A huge village sofa can look great and be perfect for fun, but if you want to create a pleasant living room, it is usually best to use less, smaller pieces for seating and push them a little closer.
11. Don’t take that too seriously
The living room is a great space for accepting a thoughtful disorder, such as a wall of art gallery, stirring pillows, open storage baskets and entertainment furniture.
An attempt for a perfect order will mean anything to stay in place, while accepting a little controlled chaos, the casual palace toy or draped will look right at home.
When the living room is white and light, it can feel too “clean” and unavailable. When everything is dark, it can feel like a cave. But mixing of dark and light colors creates a dynamic look that has depth and balance. The design of any universe benefits from the inclusion at least a little white and a little black.
