Stylistic design of the living room
A few more years of interior design rulesdemanded that every room, be it a bedroom, a living room or a library, be decorated in the same style. Today, good taste is considered not only to strictly adhere to a specific style, but also to mix different styles in one room. However, this is where the greatest danger lies. Thoughtless mixing of colors, interior decorations, and furniture of different types can turn any room into a tasteless, nerve-wracking collection of unrelated things. To avoid this mistake, you should familiarize yourself with the main stylistic trends. Then, at your own discretion, you can take the most attractive from them and implement them in the interior.

Combining different styles in living room design,you can be guided by some rules. Firstly, you should not use more than 1-3 colours for decoration. To diversify the interior, it is better to use different shades of one colour. Secondly, there are colours that absolutely do not go together. For example, grey with dark green will make the room gloomy. Pink with orange will irritate the nerves and cause rapid fatigue. The main thing in the design of any interior is a harmonious combination of imagination and a sense of proportion.
