Similar to the master
bedroom, the living room should be an extension of yourself. In other
words, it should be able to capture your very essence. As such, you
cannot really go wrong with the way you design your living room.
That said, there are still a
few guidelines for designing living rooms that you should keep in
mind. Here are some of them:
Location
If you’re the type who
values privacy, adjust your floor plan so that the living room is the
nearest room to the front door. This way, guests will automatically
gather there and stay away you’re your bedrooms and the like. By
placing your living room so that it opens into the dining area, you
can also protect your privacy further.
Color Scheme
Your living room should be
warm and inviting, so choose the color scheme of your living room
carefully. For example: soft blue walls and a cream area rug go well
together and reflect light easily, making the living room seem
brighter and more inviting.
Facilitate Conversation
Seeing as guests usually
stay in the living room when they visit, you should orient furniture
so that chairs and sofas face each other. This helps facilitate
conversation between your guests. Creating a “U-shape” when
orienting your furniture is ideal as it provides a designated
“entrance”.
