Did you just finish the renovation and are currently stuck on how to design the room? Researching options on the internet is something you do on a regular basis, right? You're uncertain whether you'll get what you expect when you look at things online. We will reveal those essential steps that will make your living room comfortable for every member of your family if you continue reading.
First,
ask yourself, “How are you using your living room?”
You
will be able to make a decision based on the answer to this question. In order
to plan for this, you have to understand how it will work, and what kind of
atmosphere you want to create - country, eclectic, traditional, modern or contemporary?

Family time
Traditional
living rooms are ideal for families with active lives, where everyone can find
a comfortable nook to chat or eat together. You can set up a play corner in the
living room if your kids need a playroom.
Hint. A sofa can become a dividing line for these
two rooms.

Receiving guests
In
order to arrange things neatly, you'll need more seats and tables if you
regularly receive a lot of guests.

Need more functionality?
There
is no living room without a TV set, so opt for a TV stand that provides
multiple storage options.
Reclining chairs may also bring functionality to your living space. The footrest and
reclining back may get you pop up your legs after an exhausting day.

Poufs and ottomans
Use poufs or ottomans as a source of an additional seat, a coffee table or just a
place to prop up your legs.

More additional seats with benches
Benches
make an ideal choice for providing additional seating with a storage
opportunity.

Folding end tables
Place
these end tables in areas where there isn't much space, but you need something
to store things.

Measure correctly
Be
aware of all the obstacles that will prevent you from completing your design
plan: windows, sills, drapes, stairs, etc.

Choose the statement area
It’s
vital to have the statement area in the living room. Any statement area should
capture the eye right at the entrance: a sofa, a TV stand, a fireplace, etc.
Swivel
chairs, end tables, and lamps make attractive accent pieces for living rooms
with large windows, beautiful views, or fireplaces.

To
decorate the statement area, use aquariums, TV sets, console tables, wall art,
sculptures, and bookcases if you do not own the above items.
Measure
your room and determine the main corner, but remember to leave room for free
traffic.

The
entrances and exits leading to the room should be free. It is important to
consider the specifics of the room.
If
the entrance is along the wall, then the furniture should be opposite to it. If
the furniture faces the doors, then the room is divided into separate sections,
and if there are several entrances leading to the room, then the living room
can be divided into separate zones, each of which will perform a function.
Natural lighting
Note. A sofa,
wooden furniture, and wall art should be avoided where the immediate rays of
the sun reach.

Electrical cords and outlets
You
need to clearly understand where all the electrical outlets will be. For your
convenience, you can even have outlets on the floor so as not to interfere with
the placement of furniture in the center of the room.
How to plan furniture placement?
You
can start planning furniture placement with completely new furniture or
repurposing the old one. If you are going to buy new furniture for the living
room, we recommend that you pay attention to these points:
Choose the main piece of furniture
first
Sofas
and wardrobes have a great influence on the overall design of the living room.

Do not block the main corner of the
room
If
your windows are low, then the sofa should also be low to reduce visual
obstructions.
Plan for face-to-face seating
Seats
must be no more than 224 cm apart. If the two sofas face each other, then the
armchairs and sofa tables should be placed in another corner of the room.

Consider the dimensions of the room
Small
furniture is suitable in small apartments, large furniture in large private
houses, otherwise disproportion is unavoidable. There should be a distance of
76 cm between sofas and tables, and a distance of 20-35 cm between the coffee
table and the sofa.
Add
bookcases, shelves, a desk to get the overall effect.

Let's choose the accessories and
decorations for the living room
Poufs and
ottomans
Emphasize
the look of sofas with interesting patterned poufs, pillows or covers, and blankets. One of the most useful of these is the poufs, which we have talked
about many times. They are easy to move and can be used both as an additional seat,
and as a small table, and as storage.

Lighting
Choose
chandeliers, table and floor lamps for good lighting.
Decorations
You
can emphasize the elegance of dining tables with plants, flowers, vases, trays,
eclectic sculptures, etc.

Wall
decorations
Use
large mirrors, wall arts to add visual volume to the room.
If
there’s still more space in the room, you can add in more flower pots,
plants, baskets, and decorative suitcases.
Tip:
Avoid placing furniture, decorations, plants near the entrance to the room.
