The living room is the area with the most frequent home activities, and how to beautify this space is particularly critical. For small-sized living rooms, due to the limited space, it is very important to create a sense of spaciousness through decoration design. Designers need to follow some principles:
Maximize Lighting
The living room should be the brightest place in the entire house (whether it's natural or artificial lighting), though this brightness is relative.
Popularize Style
Regardless of your or your family members' personalities or aesthetic characteristics, unless you rarely have relatives or friends visiting, you must ensure that the home style is accepted by the general public. This popularity means that the design style is harmonious and relatively easy to accept.
Applicable Furniture
The furniture used in the living room should consider the applicability of family activities and members. The main consideration here is the use by the elderly and children. Sometimes we have to make some concessions for their convenience.
Widen Space
In the design of the living room, creating a sense of spaciousness is very important, as it brings a relaxed mood and joyful feelings.
Maximize Space
The living room is the main public activity space in the home. Whether or not to do an artificial ceiling, the height of the space must be ensured. This height refers to the fact that the living room should have the largest clear height in the home (excluding stairwells). The view must be optimized from all angles, including the best scenery seen from the main viewpoint (the sofa area).
Generalize Materials
In the living room renovation, you must ensure that the decoration materials used, especially the floor materials, can be applicable to most or all family members. For example, laying too smooth bricks in the living room may cause harm to the elderly or children.
Optimize Traffic Flow
The layout of the living room should be the smoothest, whether it's a side-passing living room or a middle-crossing living room, ensuring unobstructed passage. Of course, this is under permissible conditions.
