Transforming the living room with furniture

Stylistic unity in design is an always working technique, which is more effective than ever when there is a limited space. The main directions for organizing the interior in the living room are: "classic", "high-tech", "country".

Among the basic principles for organizing the space of a small living room, the following can be highlighted:

- the design should be dominated by objects of regular geometric shape;

- give preference to light shades;

- it is recommended to place furniture items as compactly as possible;

- use sofa cushions, paintings and other decorative elements as bright accents.

These are the most universal and simple tips that will help you choose the right design for a small space.

Modern models of furniture walls

A furniture wall for the living room is a practical and design-correct solution. Vertical facades along the entire height of the room visually expand the space. Numerous modules will help to place all the necessary things and objects for life.

The main modules of furniture walls are:

- hanging boxes and shelves;

- TV stand;

- showcase with glass door;

- open shelves;

- a cabinet with blind doors;

- wardrobe;

- a sideboard for storing dishes, sections for a bar.

The most compact dimensions are those of furniture in a modern minimalist style. Ergonomic modules have compact external dimensions, but at the same time have good capacity.

More massive in size are furniture walls in the style of "classic", "country". It is worth avoiding corner placement of furniture, because visually such an arrangement hides the already scarce square meters.

Stylish sofas for living room

Sofas should be selected in accordance with the central style of the living room interior. The optimal option is models with a length of 100-140 cm. It is better to choose this piece of furniture with a dark color of upholstery: this is practical for life, but also visually conceals the real dimensions of the sofa.

Modern models are distinguished by their compact dimensions, laconic neutral design, which will allow them to be organically placed in interiors of any type. If the sofa is not considered as an additional sleeping place, even a guest one, then you can choose models on legs, the design of which will prevent the overall appearance from becoming heavier.

You can choose sofas with a sleeping area and drawers for storing bed linen, which will make the living room functional and cozy.
