There are some basics of
living room interior design. The living room design
idea given here are all tried and tested and will
surely give a new look to your living room. The moods
of the living room you want to create define the rest
of the designing features. Formal living rooms use
rich and more expensive material and a strict
symmetry.
There is little pattern in modern
living room designs while exotic living rooms may use bright spicy
colors and variety of textures to create unusual look. Start with
redoing the small areas such as the mantle or the top of a
cabinet. Take a look at your existing living room and decide what
is wrong it.
A cluttered living room needs more organization. You may need to
address issues like too much gap or monotony and feeling of dull,
drab and dreary in the living room. Sometimes, just re-positioning
your furniture and accessories in the living room can give it a
new look. Small details such as candles, pottery and glasses on
display and vases with flowers can bring enough interest in the
living room. You may experiment with objects of varying textures,
heights and shapes and create a fun look in the living room that
you will love to live in. Groupings of elements should be done in
such as way that they make a visual impact.
Displaying sparkling wine glasses and blue candles can look
beautiful on its own but you may have to add porcelain figures and
crystal figurines to a stack of leather bound books to add some
fun element to them. Recycle your old possessions and everyday
objects creatively to give an interesting look to your living
room. Unusual teapots, polished chrome and nickel candelabra,
family photos and even water cans may make good displays on the
mantle above the hearth while you may display a collection of
seashells to create a beautiful small island of our own around the
plants potted in tray sitting on your tabletop.
You may re-group the accessories and add more and throw some out
to keep changing the look of your living room without having to
spend much. Realize your dreams and fantasies by deciding on your
favorite look and style. You may get inspirations from your
favorite vacation destination, a restaurant you love or a set from
the TV soap opera you are obsessed about. This will help you to
decide what elements and mood you will like in your living room.
Analyze your living room and see what all elements you would like
to change. If it has some interesting architectural elements that
you would love to highlight such as crown moldings, baseboards,
doors and windows, paint them in contrasting colors to your walls.
Purchase only when it is absolutely necessary. Try to use whatever
is available at first and then go on with your shopping. Remember
that living room interior design is not something set in gold. You
are decorating you own little space and it should reflect what you
want and not what is suggested by others. TV on a shelf or a TV
stand is as good as hidden inside an armoire. It is just a matter
of choice. When you are buying things that will last for years to
come such as flooring, draperies and curtains and furniture like
sofas and tables, buy only the best that you get as it will be a
good bargain in the years to come.
