Defining the living space, outlining a living room or family room is often seen as a challenge. What furniture pieces will I choose, what colors will I paint the walls, what lighting fixture will be suitable for my family's needs, these are just some of the most frequent questions we face before starting the design of this function.
First of all, think about the purpose your living room will serve: a relaxation area, a place to socialize with family and friends, a dining space, will you integrate a workspace, do you want a high-performance television for movie nights or a reading corner after busy days? Take into account all these details that will help you create a functional living room, adapted to your needs and those of your family.
The living room space must have flexibility so that it can easily adapt to the desired function at any given time. In addition, we must not ignore the circulation between spaces because you need to be able to move easily from one space to another, and the relationship between areas with different functions of the house is important in the overall design.
Thus, you cannot focus only on the living room and completely ignore the hallway design, just as an open-space kitchen cannot be completely separated stylistically from the living room. Each function communicates with each other and together they tell the story of your home.
What style do we choose for the living room? This is a key question that will define the personality of the future room. You can bet on a modern living room, with minimalist features, where the emphasis is on functionality, in neutral tones to enhance the brightness of the room, with color accents at the level of decorations and accessories. For the main furniture pieces, invest in quality.
Surely, you won't want to change your sofa in 2-3 years!
If you are a lover of a classic style, make sure there is room to develop such an arrangement. You need a generous space for a large bookcase, armchairs and leather sofas, generally massive furniture that should be highlighted and not suffocate the room.
The eclectic style combines urban character with vintage, to create a living room full of color, with different furniture pieces, but which complement each other excellently. For some, the eclectic style may seem cluttered or even chaotic, but it gives the living room a unique energy and is suitable for modern people who have a passion for vintage decor pieces.
