For some, the heart of a house or apartment is the kitchen, for others, the living room. But wherever this “heart” is located, it needs to be looked after in accordance with the laws of fashion and style.
We will tell you what living room design techniques are best forgotten and how to make sure you are not ashamed of your own home.
Example one
Once upon a time, it seemed that glossy and chrome surfaces were a sign of luxury. This time was in the nineties. At that time, plastic began to be actively used as finishing materials.
Now exclusively natural materials are in fashion, as well as minimalism with discreet shades. Coziness and comfort in such rooms are preserved for several years.
Example two
At the same time, you can't completely give up on contrasts. A room in one neutral color - walls, floor, furniture and other decor - looks more than calm. Rather, even sterile.
According to the rules, the main color should take up about 60% of the room (light shade), to which you can add a bright and saturated color (no more than 30%), and the range is completed by 10% of a contrasting color.
Example three
Walls should not be empty. Open shelves, panels, photographs, posters are in fashion now.
Example four
Be sure to leave the necessary amount of free space so that you don’t have to crowd in the aisles between the upholstered furniture and the coffee table. Therefore, you will have to get rid of chairs and ottomans, chests of drawers and other furniture that you previously bought just so that the space wouldn’t be empty.
Example five
The pattern on the wallpaper, textiles, furniture upholstery and carpet should have something in common. The more diverse the range of ornaments and patterns, the more overloaded the interior will be.
Round shapes complement round ones, and colors are combined with the main color scheme of the interior.
Example six
Without a TV, the living room is boring. But you shouldn't make it the center of attention and, out of old habit, place soft furniture around household appliances.
A room divided into zones looks much more interesting.
And the last thing
Everything can be ruined by ill-conceived lighting. Therefore, instead of one luxurious chandelier, it is better to buy several points, add wall lamps, sconces, a floor lamp, and so on, but taking into account the nature of the room and the zones present in it.
