The living room is the most full room. All the important things and interesting elements of decor want to be placed in the living room, and always in a prominent place. This is the vase donated for the jubilee, a favorite painting in a wide frame and photos from trips and so on.
What you want to see constantly, and what you want to boast - all want to arrange this in the living room. And it is for this reason that the living rooms turn into a warehouse of things, some piles of different elements are obtained, because of this, the appearance, laconicism of design and style unity are lost. To prevent this from happening, you need to connect in the living room, what you would like to put on public display, very carefully place the elements inside this room.
What should be placed in the living room?
In every family there is something that needs to be arranged indoors. However, in all modern apartments in the interior of the living room is a home theater or TV.
Of course, this is the center of the room. Here they sing karaoke in a fun company, watch movies with friends, the whole family gather around the TV. The modern world does not imagine itself without technology, it is impossible to imagine a living room without it. Conventional screens or plasma small, large are the emotional, logical, aesthetic, visual center of the room.
In addition to the TV, there is also an element of the room, which is not inferior in importance, and this includes a fireplace. Modern apartments are not adapted to such a thing, but still the fireplaces are very popular these days. By the technology of manufacture, they reached a level where the imitation of the fireplace is not inferior to anything in the original. Different gas and electric fireplaces, and even a marble fireplace masonry, with candles inside, gives a feeling of comfort, some special warmth, give charm, and sophistication to any interior. Modern design, this classic element allows you to fit into rooms of any style.
A popular design object is the aquarium. It is a bright spot in any apartment. Helps to relax after a hard day, pacifies, brings to the apartment a particle of natural nature, it is so lacking in the modern city. A large aquarium with beautiful exotic fish will be an original decoration, and do not want to hide it in the bedroom. I want to place the aquarium in a prominent place, so that I can often admire it.
It is difficult to list the elements that would serve as the center of gravity of views. This may be some design items, for example, figured stands, original sculptures, paintings in expensive frames. But do not mix all this in the living room, then, after all, merge into one kaleidoscope of colors and shapes that will interfere with perceiving each element separately.
How to arrange
When creating a living room layout, think about what you would like to place in it. Among the items you need to choose and prioritize, choose one to be the center of the room, and from this basic element the impression of the room would be built. This object should be placed in such a way so that the person who enters this room rested his gaze before he could look around. Its location is necessary and can be emphasized by the background.
Around the main point of the living room will add a little space. It can be a shelving system, a specially made niche, wall texture or color. It will concentrate attention, both at the center of the room. The remaining items of the future interior should be arranged in order of priority, so that they do not overlap with each other.
Each element should be the center of the part of the room that is assigned to it. These secondary objects should also be emphasized by the background, but in this case it should not be so rushing and less bright than the main one. You need to know that around the element there should be some amount of air, space, the amount of background. Attention should be concentrated on the selected element.
If you place the fireplace under the TV, then you can not use either one or the other. If you include them together, when watching TV, you will not be able to grasp the eye, or you will want to admire the fire, and you will be distracted by the TV, there will be a desire, even occasionally to glance at the TV. You can also say that if there are other similar combinations, this fireplace is near the big sculpture in human growth, the TV is butt-end with the aquarium.
And when such elements are distributed on different walls, and then each element will carry the function that it should carry. Then the view will not need to be torn. It is enough to choose what you want - to watch the inhabitants of the aquarium or watch TV. You will not interfere with anyone if one of the family members wants to sit by the burning fireplace, and another wants to watch TV.
Photos and shelves
In addition to the central elements in the living room should be a number of important and minor things. This can be porcelain sets, souvenirs from trips, frames with photos, bookshelves and so on. And there can be many things that correspond to the habits and tastes of a particular family. With shallow filling, these little things will be a perfect background for the center, but the main thing is not to overdo it.
If you place around a large number of small things, then they are their variegated interrupt another valuable element. If you like exhibiting pleasant trifles on display, then treat this with attention and in your room take a separate place for them.
Furniture
At the fireplace it is logical to put chairs with pufiks under their feet, so that they are sufficiently close to the fire. Proceeding from the diagonal of the screen, you should push the sofa away from the TV.
Between the sofa and TV, the dining table will look rather strange. If the table is put to the outdoor fireplace, it will simply block it. When you arrange furniture, you should be guided so that you can conveniently use the interior elements, what is the size of the passages. We must simultaneously think over the arrangement of furniture together with the filling of the living room with different design elements.
Now we know what should be, the interior of the living room in the apartment. What and how to combine with, it is for each family individually. Things for convenience and inner comfort should be in place, in general be concise and complete space.
