And in order for everyone to feel comfortable here, the design of a 20 sq m hall must be thought out and planned in advance so that not a single detail disturbs the harmony.
Figure 1.Unlike small living rooms, where you need to visually expand the space, you don't need to do this in a spacious living room, you just need to organize a place to relax. The interior of any room depends primarily on its area. In cramped spaces, you must pay attention to visual correction.

Figure 2. The recreation area is often formed like this: a sofa, a couple of armchairs, a table and the semantic center of the composition - a large TV.
It is convenient to divide a room into functional zones if it is elongated. For a square hall, the choice is limited. Return to contents</a>
Color solution and lighting
Figure 3. Table of color combinations in the interior.The color scheme plays a key role in the correct perception of the interior. It is very easy to choose shades for decorating a spacious room. It is enough that they match each other and, of course, please the household. If there are no specific wishes, it makes sense to pay attention to the color compatibility tables, and then choosing the right range will not be a problem (Fig. 3). The situation is a little more complicated if the hall requires color correction. You can balance both an overly light room and a dark one with color. If the living room windows face southeast and direct sunlight literally blinds, you should pay attention to cold, restrained shades: gray-blue, olive. They will balance the feature a little. If there are few windows in the room or they face the north side, the right color scheme will help add warmth to the living room. All warm shades in the interior will be just right. It does not necessarily have to be the color of orange or flame. Delicate peach tones, the color of milk chocolate, ocher - They will fill even the darkest living room with light. 20 square meters is an area sufficient for combining colors. In a spacious living room, you can safely combine 2-3 shades of the same color. This design will look fresh and will not be “pressing”, as it happens in cramped spaces. It is important to pay attention to artificial lighting. The design of the hall will largely depend on the correct selection and placement of light sources. The necessary minimum is a chandelier and a floor lamp in the recreation area. If necessary, you can add spot lighting. Return to the table of contents</a>
Methods and rules for arranging furniture
Figure 4.The furniture in the living room should be arranged taking into account the compositional center. But whatever style solution you choose, you should definitely pay attention to the correct arrangement of furniture. Not only the interior of the hall, but also its functionality will depend on this. There are some rules that will help you avoid making a mistake in such an important matter. It is imperative to highlight the semantic center of each zone. This could be a TV in the reception area, a computer desk - in the work area, a bookshelf - in the recreation area. All furniture should be reasonably arranged around such a center. Sofas and armchairs should be turned towards it (Fig. 4). If a large object in the center of the room is chosen as the semantic center, the furniture around it can be arranged in a circle. You need to be guided by the rule: the larger the object, the further from the semantic center it should be located. To make the design of the hall harmonious, it is worth using textile accessories. They allow you to smooth out the severity of the room. Blankets, chair covers, curtains - The finished interior of the hall will depend on these little things. The area of the hall is 20 sq. m - this is a canvas on which you can create a unique style without worrying about saving space. You don't need to be afraid of bright details and eye-catching elements, they will make the design of the hall memorable and individual.
