DECORATING A LUXURY LIVING SPACE
Think about what you truly need and what you can live without when decorating a living space. Having ample seating, side and/or coffee tables, a TV unit, and storage for anything from games to toys to books is a must. What could relocate if this is starting to fill the space to capacity? Use a tape measure to gauge the size of the space if you are truly unsure of where, to begin with, your living room plan. From there, you can make a rough blueprint and illustrate a few potential arrangements for the furniture in the space. The fun part, picking the style of your living room, may be done after you've arranged the arrangement of your living room furniture. You will spend a lot of time there, either in the evenings if you don't have children or starting in the afternoon if you do.
Therefore, even while the design of your living room will be primarily determined by the age of your house, its intrinsic architectural feature, the style of the other rooms in your home, or the furnishings in your living room, it must also fit your lifestyle. In other words, choosing an elaborate antique-filled living room in a home with lots of children is probably not a good idea; instead, you could prefer a contemporary living room design. Make a note of the living room ideas you like (paste the images to a Pinterest board), and you'll quickly see trends emerging that will serve as a solid foundation for your room's design. What should you keep away from? A style that is blatantly incompatible with the age of your property: heavy Victorian doesn't fit in a home constructed in the 1970s, while 1930s design works best in homes created from that era onward.
Don't be hesitant to mix and combine styles, even if you might be inclined to stay with just one. As a result, the atmosphere will be less formal and more laid-back, and because this is the space where you unwind at night, it need to reflect your own style. The moment to choose your living room paint color ideas will come once you've determined your aesthetic. When making this choice, consider the room's size and ceiling height. It may seem like interior design 101, but choosing lighter colors for a tiny living room can make it appear bigger and brighter. Alternatively, if you mainly use your living room in the evenings, perhaps darker hues would make it feel cozier and more intimate. If your living room is larger than average, you may use color more daringly. You can experiment with a darker design scheme, add a dramatic feature wall, or be inventive with strong paint hues. Remember that the amount of natural light your living area receives should influence the colors you choose. Warmer hues of all colors, from white to blue to grey, will make any living room that faces north or east seem more welcome. Conversely, south or west-facing rooms may receive a lot of sunshine, so you may want to use cooler colors to keep them feeling peaceful. Once you've decided on the main hue for the space, choose one main accent color and one or two more accent tones to utilize sparingly. This allows you the chance to bring together two ends of a long or open-plan area, add warmth to a neutral design, calm down a bright scheme, and more.
