First of all, the living room is the room where the whole family gathers in front of the TV in the evening or celebrates significant holidays with friends and acquaintances. That is, it should be not only stylish and beautiful, but also multifunctional. It is not so easy to find the line between home comfort and coziness, and the beauty and modernity that everyone would admire. In small apartments in the living room also allocate a working area, where the "home" can sit at the computer and clean up their affairs. This entails additional load for the room with the addition of appropriate furniture. All this suggests that the selection of furniture should be taken seriously and creatively to beat the arrangement of the living room.
Where to start?
Before making a pilgrimage to all the furniture stores in your city, it is necessary to make a clear shopping plan beforehand. To do this, you need to sketch on a piece of paper preliminary layout of the room and allocate a working area and recreation area. It is best at this stage to determine the future style of your room. If you adhere to the rigor and minimalism, you can approach the interior in the style of art Nouveau. If on the contrary, you love luxury, you can try the classics. In the event that you can not decide for yourself what exactly suits you better, you can read specialized magazines, study the sites or invite a professional designer.
If you like to gather often in the evenings with family or friends just to chat, or play board games, then you will be difficult to do without a small table in the living room. If there is a lack of space, the table can be purchased an unusual design, which can be transformed into a small cabinet. This is very convenient, on normal days it will not take up much space, and at the right time can serve you as a dining table, and as a field for playing cards, dominoes or backgammon.
When developing the plan and design of the living room, it is important to choose the "main place" in the room. This place will set the style and mood. The "main place" can be a sofa in the center of the room or a home theater. The rest of the space is better not to load additional furniture. If the living room is spacious, it is recommended to divide it into several zones. This can be a dining area with a large table, a lounge area with a sofa and home theater, as well as a work area with a comfortable armchair and computer. This option involves buying furniture separately for each zone. And thus it is necessary to consider that furniture for each zone not only should carry out the function and be convenient, but also be combined among themselves on color and style. It is also necessary to know that when there is a lack of space in the apartment, it is better to choose light furniture, it visually increases the space.
What should stand in the living room.
Usually the living room is the largest TV set, so we will need drawers for it and adjacent equipment. Now in the shops with furniture you can find a lot of offers that will help you to play this part of the room very nicely. Instead of large shelves you can buy shelves, they are not only multifunctional, but also beautiful. You can also make functional niches in the wall. This will help to save some space. Nowadays, cabinet modular furniture is especially popular among designers.
It fits well into any interior.
On many inhabitants of our country the Soviet epoch has left an indelible imprint, therefore a very frequent mistake when buying furniture is the choice of large wardrobes, slides, walls and so on. They simply clutter up the space in the apartment, and so that this mass of shelves and sections is not empty, people are ready to store domain rubbish no one wants. Often enough a couple of small bollards and shelves to accommodate everything they need.
Another heritage of the Soviet era is a set of upholstered furniture, consisting of a sofa and two armchairs. It is not necessary to buy two more chairs in the load on the sofa, if you do not really need them. Do not take up too much space, it is better to do with one soft corner.
And one more thing. Do not chase after fashion magazines and repeat the interior exactly as in the picture. Just take the advice and rely on your intuition and sense of style. Introduce your soul into the selection of furniture, and only then you will be able to achieve home comfort and coziness.
Thank you for your attention and wish you a great time!
