Living Room Furniture

The Living Room : Your Personal Haven

 

Next to your bedroom, the living room is probably the place in your home where you most often relax, unwind, and de-stress. It’s also where you entertain guests and visitors. What’s more, the living room is where parents and their children bond, so choosing the right living room furniture is all the more important — you want one that’s versatile enough to function as an elegant space for formal and informal gatherings, and still retain a homey, welcoming vibe for family bonding moments.

Plenty of modern living room furniture sets these days focus on being minimalist and less bulky, allowing more space for adults and kids to move around. Modern living room furniture can sport an unconventional vibe — the minimalism it has brings a stark spareness to a space. You can make it less daunting with the quirky addition of vintage pieces, such as a velvet-upholstered ottoman or lounge.

 

Sometimes, living room furniture sets can be a bit too blah and boring — you purchased an all-beige set, for example, as you wanted to go the classic, timeless route and not go on a design road kill by opting for a more modern set. The secret to updating your living room furniture is by infusing pops of color — cheerful hues such as reds, oranges, and even yellows take the attention away from the boredom of beige.

 

Working with a small space? Ditch the coffee table and replace it with stools that can double as seats and tables so you can save on space. A mirrored wall or an airy window will also give the illusion of a bigger, less cramped space.

 Living Room Furniture and beyond

Play with different textures if your living room furniture is mostly white — doing so will prevent it from looking too much like a hospital room, all coldly impersonal and antiseptic. A crocheted throw, a lamp made of exotic seashells, or mother-of-pearl pieces can make your living room exude sophistication minus the “look but don't touch” atmosphere.

 

A living room isn't complete without the proper lighting fixtures. Make sure these are strategically situated, such as beside reading chairs and nooks. Don’t be afraid to combine various lighting fixtures — table and floor lamps let you distribute light more evenly around the room. And unless you have a high ceiling (the minimum is 9 feet), forget about hanging fixtures such as chandeliers and the like — you wouldn't want your guests to bump their heads with it.
