6 Living Room Decor Tricks

The living room is the center of a house and a very important space in the home. The decoration effect of the living room determines the comfort and functionality of the home.

Whether the living room is large or small, reasonable planning is necessary. So how to make the living room look beautiful and comfortable?

Style and Color

1. The living room should give people the feeling that it is spacious and tidy, stylish but not cramped, so we should pay special attention when choosing the decoration style. Try not to choose complicated dark style for small apartment or those with lower floors.

2. Under the condition that the living room area is not plentiful, when choosing the color tone, try to use light tone or expanded color as the main tone, which will have a sense of visual extension and make the room as a whole more spacious.

Layout Planning

1. The most common layout of the living room is sofa+coffee table+TV; Compared with this conventional layout, the TV can be changed into a projection screen.

2. Opening between the living room and balcony (non-load-bearing wall only) can effectively expand the living room area and increase the transparency. You can choose to bring the balcony directly into the living room and expand the living room area.

3. If the home have a horizontal hall, you can choose the sofa or TV instead of the wall, then the remaining half space is another world.

Furniture

1. The size of sofa is selected according to the living room area. Choosing a large sofa will make the living room very crowded, while choosing a small unable to satisfy the usage. Therefore, we recommended that the size of the sofa should not exceed 25% of the living room area.

2. Avoid heavy and large furniture in a small space, and choose a relatively slim and slender type. For the high and low home space, we should try to choose relatively low furniture.

Storage

1. If you want to have strong storage in the living room, the TV background wall can be made into an embedded TV cabinet with a depth of 30-40cm, which greatly enhances the storage capacity. All the living room bits and pieces can be put in it, which not only ensures the spacious bright, but also has sufficient storage space. However, if the bay is too small, it is not recommended, which will make the space appear depressed.

2. Don't know how to choose the sofa background wall? Customized storage cabinet is a good choice. The space of the whole wall can maximize the storage space, with strong sense of space and high integrity.

Lighting

Generally, the living room has the largest space in the home, so relative attention should be paid to lighting. If the main lamp design can't take care of every corner, you can choose the ownerless lamp design.

Circuits

1. Just like the design of the ownerless lamp just mentioned, it is necessary to lay out the wiring in advance, and every independent lamp without the main lighting needs wiring, so the wiring must be planned first.

2. More switches and sockets are reserved beside TV cabinets and sofas, which is convenient for electric appliances such as mobile phones, floor lamps, televisions and routers. Moreover, the layout and size of sofas and TV cabinets should be planned when transforming circuits, so as not to let them block the sockets and cause inconvenience in later power consumption.
