May 26th, 2008
Have you ever wondered what is the most special place at every home? Is it a bathroom, kitchen or a bedroom? No, neither of those rooms. The heart of every home is living room! So you have to do your best to make it a comfortable and nice place. How?
Colours
Colours depends of what are yours and your family preferences. But it`s not everything. There is also a size of the living room and its location that matters. You have to know if the window goes on the North or South side. If its North the colours of the wall should be light and warm cause there won`t be much sunshine in the room. You can also buy a lamp. But if the window is on the South side it`s not a problem to have darker interior.
Walls
To make our living room more interesting it is worth to make something unusual on the walls. For example make one of the walls in a different style - colour or material. If the whole room is in red we can paint one of the walls in brown or make this surface more bumpy etc. Very popular is also making wallpaper from our photos. Room enliven when its covered with smiling faces of our friends and family, and we also feel better when looking on happy moment of our lives. And everyone knows from the first moment who lives in the house.
Wallpapers
If we won`t decide on having the photo wallpaper we should choose the regular wallpaper very carefully. Specially when we are choosing the wallpapers to make the room brighter. If our living room is rather small and we have chosen flowers or geometric ornaments on the cores of the wall we should make sure that those ornaments won`t be too big. Large designs will make the room look smaller than it is in real. For very brave people designers recommends special stickers that they are designing with their clients.
Zones
Each living room can be divided into few separate zones. There might be zones for relaxing with the tv and sofa, armchairs or zone with a dining room where the dining tables can stand. If your living room is big enough you can differ those zones in a visible way. Materials can differ on the floor, walls can be in a different colours, in one zone might be glass furniture - console tables, dining tables and wooden furniture in the different one.
That`s only a few suggestions about having terrific living room. There is something that is worth remembering - that the devil is in the details. But home decor details are totally different story…
