We have 25 inspiring examples and design secrets from design professionals This is the room that should make an impression - and not only on you, but also on guests with different tastes and ideas about beauty. Did you know that sensations can be controlled with the help of simple techniques of thoughtful design? We will tell you how.
Have a sofa with the mind
The sofa is usually the largest item in the room,and this makes it the main "hero" of your living room. Its optimal position is "facing" the entrance, it is maximally comfortable for a person. If the sofa is still located with its back to the door, compensate for this by placing a coffee table behind it. This technique will create a more welcoming atmosphere. Our opinion: There are many important points to consider in the arrangement of furniture, but first of all, make sure that the furniture does not block light sources and allows you to move freely around the room.
The magic of the carpet
An attractive and practical rug defineswhat yours is intended for. If you are planning a crowded party, choose a durable mat. A small rug can visually highlight the area where you plan to dine, for example. And for relaxed and cozy get-togethers, a soft, long-pile rug is suitable — scatter decorative pillows on it and relax in a bohemian style. Tina Gurevich, interior designer — In the living room, I advise you to provide several zones for comfortable communication “according to interests” when guests arrive. For example, two armchairs by a real or stylized fireplace and a corner sofa with a table. decor-ti.ru
Soft light
The key word in the feeling you needto make guests relax - softness. Fluffy pillows and blankets are one technique. Another is soft, diffused lighting. Instead of one large chandelier, use a combination of light sources on the walls, ceiling and floor.
Identify the center of attention
The living room is where the eye should rest., interesting paintings or an exhibition of favorite souvenirs — make the center of your guests' interest something you are proud of. Inga Azhgirei, interior designer — No matter how cool it is, there should be only one noticeable designer chandelier. In other areas there can be track lights, thin pendants, a great floor lamp, but several ceiling accents are acceptable only with an enfilade layout of the living room. facebook.com/inga.azhgirei
Do not overdo it with trifles
Designers have a "melon rule" - decorsmaller than this wonderful fruit, can quickly create a sense of disorder. The main details should be large, and the little things should serve as an addition. Our opinion: Do not let the little things - figurines, photo frames, candles, vases - spread over all surfaces. Group the decor that is important to you, it is best if there are no more than three elements in groups. And assign a place for each item - this will make cleaning easier and faster.
