In the living rooms, which are called “living space” because of the time we spend in them, there are some items that you should pay attention to before starting to decorate. First of all, you need to analyze the current situation of your salon well. Before you make new changes, you should figure out what needs to be changed.
What is the net area?
What is the ceiling height?
If so, how is the balcony connection provided from which side?
Where is the desired area to be customized in the hall?
Where are the column beams located?
Are there decorative coating elements on the walls and ceiling in the current situation?
What is preferred as a floor covering?
What items in the hall can be saved? Can it be destroyed? Renewable?
If the current situation of the living room is analyzed in detail, the decoration choices to be made will also be in the most appropriate way to reality. Because the wrong decoration choices can make the living room look like a small, flattened, dark, and uncomfortable space than it is. Getting professional help in this regard will provide you with assistance in completing the job quickly and safely. From floor-wall-ceiling textures to furniture, wall decoration elements to fabrics, colors to specialized textures, you need to know many business items in the field of decoration. Among the decorations that will fit like a lost puzzle piece in your living room, elements that reflect you and fit the existing data most appropriately should be selected from these work items.
After collecting the necessary venue data, you need to decide on your style. To create warm, comfortable, and spacious areas for your future guests and your family, you should first have your decoration style. Considering that you will spend the most time when you are at home and most of your social interactions will take place in this area, an environment in which you will feel comfortable and belong should be created. Modern, minimal, sophisticated, luxurious; maybe art deco, maximalistic, industrial, Scandinavian, etc. by examining the styles, the style that suits you should be selected first.
Let's imagine that you have chosen the style that suits you. For the rest of our article, we have given tips for you that will positively affect the use of space in hall decorations.
Don't Make a Crowd on the Furniture
At times when the number of users in the halls is high, areas that can move, sit and relax are sought more than decoration elements. In such cases, you should pay attention to the “function” feature in furniture selections in order not to have problems. Preference should be given to quality furniture that is ergonomic and safe for children. When there are classes that are of high quality, you can narrow the circle a little more by making choices in a style that reflects you from among them. Then you can make a more economical choice by reviewing the furniture you have in the current situation and what you are thinking of buying new, reusing-renovating-repairing-fixing.
Attention!
As we mentioned earlier, attention should be paid to the selection of furniture in sizes that will not kill space. You should keep your existing field data as a priority at every step of the decoration.
Capture The Elegance
Even if you prefer a sporty style in your living room, you can make the environment look much more stylish and luxurious with subtle touches made from place to place. Let's imagine that your furniture is chosen without patterns and with simple colors. In the sports style, cream or light gray tones are usually preferred. To take this style to the next level, pillows, covers, decorative trinkets, wall decoration elements, etc. in different textures, patterns, and colors. it can make you add a different style to your living room. The issue that you should pay attention to when choosing textures and colors is their harmony with each other. Too many colors, textures, and decorative items can make the space look complicated, rough, and messy. If you want to reflect both styles at the same time in your style choices, choosing a minimum level of elements from both styles will allow you to make a healthier combination.
Minimal Choices Make the Space Look Big and Spacious
If you have a small living room in terms of square meters, your priority should be to make the space as spacious and open as possible. Even if your living room is large, simple-minimalist solutions can make the space functionally more effective rather than piling unnecessary and incompatible decorative elements into the space. If we divide the decoration elements to be placed in the hall into two parts, large and small, according to their size;
- For furniture of small size (puff sofa, viscous table, wall decoration items, etc.) you can prefer vivid-dark colors.
- And large-sized furniture(sofa set, dining table, chair, TV unit, etc.) you can choose light-simple colors and textures, as they will visually take up more space in the space and will be used more compared to other decoration elements. In decorations created by using dark and light colors in the correct proportions, stylish and eye-catching areas are created, while the number of items in the area and visualness is balanced to degrees. Thus, you will get a more holistic image in your living room.
The above two suggestions have become an attractive venue with elements in a room with special decoration, and simple color, and at the same time give the impression that the space of functions with textured furniture will be more comfortable for users, and will create more comfortable spaces.
Use the Illusion of Glass and Mirrors
The use of mirrors, glass, and other glossy surface textures is common in interior designs to make small spaces look bigger and to create a more modern atmosphere in large spaces. The use of reflective surfaces in furniture can add a stylish innovation to the space. They can be used on the covers of the TV unit, the covers of bookcases, viscous table legs, wall decorations, etc. these surfaces used in places will add a modern touch to your living room in addition to warmth and comfort.
Create Focus With Lighting
Lighting elements offer many options to people who want to decorate the living room with wide sizes, shapes, and color scales. When choosing the right one for your salon, you should choose by considering the titles we have mentioned before. Instead of creating a single focal point in the hall, distributing lighting elements throughout the space can create a more holistic image in your living room.
How?
The main lighting elements on the ceiling can be selected from the pendant class and a light band can be preferred as an auxiliary around the ceiling. You can also use lighting elements in selected furniture. For example, you can create more than one interesting area in your living room with light bands that can be resolved behind bookcases.
When choosing lighting elements, their functionality should be considered before their visual appearance. The wrong color and lighting level in the environment may cause health problems for users in the coming years. For a comfortable space, the light color level should be determined according to the user's requirements and in-space function characteristics.
