The Main Room In The House:
5 Working Ideas For A Large Living Room

The living room is both the "face" of the house, and a place to relax, and sometimes a workspace. Such multifunctionality requires a special approach when decorating the space, even if you do not experience a shortage of space.

About the five most productive ideas for decorating a large living room, we will talk today.

Large living room "asks" for zoning

There are many ways of zoning the space:

1. Using different textures or panels in the wall decor for a large living room;

2. Playing with color - from sharp contrasts to smooth transitions;

3. Highlighting the zone with a bright carpet;

4. Difference in the height of the floor;
5. Different style of design of separate zones;

6. Functional division of zones - recreation zone (sofa, armchairs, TV), working area (small table, laptop), reception area (dining group), etc;

7. Visual delimitation with the help of decorative plants.

When decorating a large space, be careful not to try to fit everything at once, otherwise you will not be able to avoid the feeling of perpetual clutter.

Playing with texture

Do not be afraid to experiment with textures. Wooden panels on the walls will make the room feel warmer. The smooth upholstery of the chairs would add glamor, and the leather surface of the sofas would emphasize the modern views of the owners.

Make a big space cozy

Add elements of coziness to a large living room by placing a rocking chair with a plaid thrown over it. An alternative to it can be a soft hanging armchair, for example, next to a floor lamp and a bookcase. And on armchairs and sofas you can place decorative cushions and different ornaments.

Lighting

If there are dark corners in the living room, its large size loses its appeal. For a complete harmonious room lighting can and should be combined with individual lamps (chandeliers, floor lamps, sconces) and built-in lighting systems (ceiling or wall). So you can, if necessary, change the bright light for a romantic, or leave the light only in the corner for relaxing, cozy evening with a book in a chair. In this case, the number of lamps should not be conspicuous, the more inconspicuous will be the lighting fixtures - the better. In order not to lose the functionality of the room, you can illuminate each zone in a special way.

Wall Gallery

Decorating one of the walls in the form of a gallery will be an interesting and bright accent in the decor of a large living room. Here you can hang posters, paintings, children's drawings or certificates of commendation.

A wall with family photos will look the coziest. Talk to grandparents, for sure they have old photos in their archives. The history of the family in photos of several generations will arouse interest not only from new acquaintances, but also from longtime friends. By the way, children love to look at old photos, especially of their relatives.

The center of such a wall-gallery can be a large family portrait, and to dilute the serious mood, you can make it in costume.
