Living Room Designer: Designing Your Space


There is only one room in your home that is really lived in, and this is your living room. So it's very important this room is designed properly, since it sets a tone for the rest of your home. Getting the design right also says a lot of about you as a homeowner and person. Hiring a trained interior designer will help achieve a specific look, and most of the time these interior designers will that the time to try to get a sense of your style and taste before they come up with a plan. For that reason, it's always a good idea to have some ideas of your own before hiring an interior designer. To help you with the design on your living room, here are some creative tips to help get you started. 

 

Living Room Design Tips 

  • Define the Room: You first need to decide on the purpose of the room. Is it going to be used as a playroom, Is it for entertaining guests, Is it going to be formal, Is it for looks alone or will the room serve multiple functions? The more specific the function, the more appealing the area. In other words: when people know how to visualize a room's purpose, the more comfortable they feel in that space. This preliminary decision will help determine the room's overall shape.
  • Find the Focal Points: Now you now have to find a centerpiece, this is that one feature that will draw the eye.  In most cases, it's the TV. But why? In general entertainment centers take up a lot of space and can often dominate a room or make it look clunked. Instead, you should consider being more original with your living room design. Focus on the fireplace, a painting, or something more personal to you. But if it has to be the TV, try to find ways to camouflage it . Buy a cabinet that can be closed off. Or invest in a flat screen TV that can hang on the wall, thereby blending into the decor and design when not in use.
  • Arrange or Rearrange Furnishings: The next step is the living room furniture. To freshen things up, you don't have to buy new stuff, just by moving a chair you can make a big difference. Unless you're changing the room's entire color scheme, you shouldn't even have to reupholster. Make a large template out of newspapers or old bed sheets in order to test out different arrangements of the room before you start moving around heavy couches and love seats around. Remember, not everything has to be against the wall. Some contemporary designs use "floating" living room furniture in the middle of the room to help divide up the. Also, while arranging, don't forget to supply ample walkways for guests.
