The Living Room is the heart and soul of any apartment. It is a place where families sit together; a place where your friends can gather to have a lively chat; a place where you can have a quiet movie night with your loved ones; a place where you plan all those ‘happening’ parties you want. And more than anything, it is a place where you can just sit, relax and retrospect while sipping that just needed hot cup of coffee.
A place that is so important in our life deserves to be designed carefully to reflect who we are as a person and what we want to achieve. When it comes to designing a living room, there are endless possibilities. From choosing the layout; to choosing the theme; to picking up the right style of furniture, the task is massive. Thankfully, at Elevation Interior, Thane we have a team of highly qualified professionals, to help you skate through the entire process.
As per Ms. Nazish, our ace interior designer, we are going to see so many new trends in the year 2023 and there will be lot of creativity in the living room area. The best part about interior design now-a-days is the uniqueness of every work. People now don’t go for common designs. They come in with a vision. They want a house that reflects their personality.
Here is a list of things to consider before you start beautifying your living room:
1. Purpose of the Living Room: Is your living room only going to be a place to sit, relax and entertain guests or is it also going to double as your workstation from time to time or even become a place for your kids to have play dates. Having a dedicated workstation has become a must in today’s era and with a space constraint at hand, it is mostly the living room area that has to double up for the same. Not to fret, trust us, with the help of professional interior designers, like Elevation Interior, Thane, we can create more workable space.
2. Floor Plan of the Room: Before we start making plans about the furniture or wall décor, it is extremely important to study the Floor Plan of the room. Whether the room is square-shaped, L-shaped or rectangular, the dimensions of the room are to be understood before we decide on the style and look for the furniture items.
3. Style of Living Room: We all know the basic styles of living rooms i.e Traditional, Modern, Minimalistic and Contemporary. However, there are so many more styles to choose from now-a-days, for example, Rustic, Transitional, Eclectic, Scandinavian, Victorian, Tropical etc. To know more about these styles, you can leave a query at Elevation Interior, Thane and we will get back to you.
4. Picking up the Furniture: Once the basics are clear, it is time to decide on furniture for the living room. All the three above-mentioned factors actually contribute to deciding the style of furniture. Does it require 3+2-seater sofa or 3+1+1-seater sofa set? What kind of centre table will go with the floor plan? Once the seating arrangement is decided, the next task is to decide on the centre piece or wall art. Should we use a huge single centre piece or many small wall art pieces would give a better look?
5. Accent your Wall: Generally speaking, when we talk of space, we automatically think about floor space. We tend to forget that we have space on the walls too. At Elevation Interior, we think vertical too. Meticulously placed open shelves or bookshelves not only look trendy but also provide additional storage space. Try making one wall the point of attraction, you can do it with a bold color or wallpaper. Surround it with lighter color walls. This will make the room look bigger and more inviting.
6. Lighting: To lift the mood of your living room, lighting has to be right. Make sure to have more than one source of lighting in your living room. Have a combination of overhead, accent and task lighting. Using chandeliers or fan ceiling lights can illuminate the rooms very well. Our well-qualified team of best interior designers at Elevation Interior, Thane can help you navigate the task of choosing the best-suited lights for your living room.
