The living room is a welcoming room where we like to spend time. When we decorate it, we try to make it a pleasant, cocooning room, where life is good. To avoid overdoing it and cluttering up this space, you have to find the right balance between too much decoration and not enough.
Living room: what not to do
To have a beautiful living room, certain decorating mistakes must be avoided. We take care, for example, not to have too many patterns, colors or overlapping materials: we say stop to the variegated effect and the overload. But beware, this does not mean that you need a room that is too refined. You just have to find the right balance: a pattern here, different textures there, a colored section of the wall... Above all, you don't make the mistake of having furniture that is too big and not adapted to the size of your living room. For this, we think of taking the measurements before going to buy them and we also think of leaving a space of circulation between the coffee table and the sofa.
Living room: how to arrange it well?
It is essential to arrange your living room well. We think about installing key and useful pieces of furniture, such as the sofa, the TV cabinet, the coffee table, but also storage, such as shelves and bookcases. Also, we take care to take care of the brightness: nothing worse than a living room that is too dark! Wall lights, pendant lights, light garlands... It's up to you to create a soft and cozy atmosphere thanks to the different lighting sources. Also consider installing light-colored curtains to let the light in more easily. Also pay attention to the orientation of the furniture: install your sofa according to the views and avoid placing it in the middle of a passage. If your living room is large enough, the sofa can act as a partition and therefore separate the space. Finally, think about the decor! Personalize your living room by adding cushions to the sofa, souvenirs and frames to the shelves, vases to the coffee table...
