The living room is, first of all, a front room, the face of your home, forming the image of the family in the eyes of visitors. But for household members it also has an intimate character. It is here, in the heart of the house, that intimate conversations are held, intimate secrets are confided and important decisions are made at the family council.
Choosing a style for the living room
For the hall you can choose one of the stylistic directions:
- If the room has large window niches, then you need to use the attractiveness of calm natural shades, luxurious furniture and high-quality materials. It is better to opt for handmade elements for decoration;
- Characteristic ethnic culture. For this, preference is given to the Egyptian or Japanese style;
- To denote a simple country style, shades of warm and light tones are used, reflected in furniture details and detailed accents of rustic patterns. There is no hint of glamor or luxury;
- Modern stylistics can indicate different styles. Natural wood, combined with chocolate upholstery and a beige color palette, looks trendy from any angle.
- Lovers of minimalism prefer a more than modest setting. In this way, the presence of more space can be achieved. It is worth giving preference to non-classical furniture with poufs instead of armchairs;
- Glass and metal surfaces characterize the high-tech style. Lack of decoration and simplicity of decoration;
- For eco-style, you should mainly pay attention to combinations of country elements with the naive beauty of Provence. Maximum presence of natural materials;
- For the loft there is a predominance of rough elements. For example, plank floors and the naturalness of brick walls.

Ideas for a small living room
Such a room for receiving guests will require special attention. The space should be free from strong clutter in the form of furniture and individual parts.
The greatest simplicity will help to organically organize the space. To do this, it is best to use the Art Nouveau style in combination with minimalist trends.
The following main points must be taken into account:
- Avoid shades in dark colors. It is more preferable to use a light color scheme;
- If you want drawings, then let them be small. Well-chosen photo wallpapers that will be located on one of the walls will help expand the spatial dimensions;
- The curtain will be straight without variegated patterns. Models that fall from the ceiling to the floor look great;
- Do not hang the walls with a large number of photographs or paintings. It’s better to focus on one original modular design;
You can add light and mirror surfaces to the room. For individual elements, arrange lighting appropriate for the occasion.
Comfortable furniture
Since a lot of time is spent in the living room, it is necessary to select the most comfortable furniture. It is best to use a corner sofa with a backrest of medium height. If the room is small, you should abandon armchairs and chairs.
How to make a beautiful living room with furniture? You just need to choose comfortable, upholstered furniture that will fit perfectly into the interior. Shelves, a coffee table and a floor lamp are of great importance.
The Importance of the Four Aspects
These include:
- Light level;
- Number of door and window openings;
- The presence or absence of stairs;
- Configuration outlines of the room.
You should definitely take into account the presence of adjacent rooms and the way they are connected to the hall, as well as know the exact dimensions of the living room. It is worth considering accent details with special care, especially those that will help distract from minor flaws.
To decorate the room, you can use the pleasant appearance of a house plant, and choose the finishing in the form of natural stone.
Use of natural materials
During renovation, the owner must immediately decide on the material of the floors, walls and ceilings. When decorating a living room from scratch, it is best to use natural materials that not only look great, but also last a very long time.
When choosing a floor, you can use cork or parquet; the walls can be decorated with bricks, boards, wood panels and beams. Wall paint should be environmentally friendly, and textiles should be natural, without synthetics.
Living room zoning
Of the various options, owners of private houses give preference to zoning, which necessarily includes a recreation area and a place equipped for meeting guests. For large living rooms, you can include a podium and fireplace in the design.
Creativity is ensured by screens or partitions. They can be movable structures or immovable.
With the help of correctly selected finishing materials, it is possible, due to differences in texture, color and textural design, to highlight separately the fireplace area, the place where meals are taken and other important areas of the room, for example, a place to relax.
Low costs are guaranteed by the distribution of illumination areas. Several bright light sources are designated for the work area. The total number and models are selected depending on the overall design style.
Minimalism
The interior of a living room in a minimalist style is suitable for the rhythm of life in the bustle of the city, where guests are increasingly being met on neutral territory, and not in the living room. With changes in life comes changes in the functions of rooms.
This style is characterized by: zoning of space, order, purity of colors, minimum furniture, simplicity of accessories, adherence to proportionality.
For a minimalist living room, you need to choose a simple, spacious cabinet design, a geometrically correct sofa and armchairs. There is no need to clutter the interior with many shelves, bedside tables and chairs.
The color of the furniture should be natural wood shades. The colors of the living room should be either combined or monochrome, but always clean and without chameleon impurities. Glossy or matte surfaces should not overlap.
Modern curtains for the living room should be chosen without any patterns or floral designs; they should emphasize the style and at the same time be invisible in the interior. Plain curtains made of linen, cotton, roller blinds or muslin would be appropriate.
From finishing materials you need to choose smooth plaster, stone, wood. There should be a minimum of decorations on the walls; plain wallpaper or companions in the same colors help achieve the effect of emptiness. The ceiling and walls in light colors are combined with dark parquet boards or laminate.
Luxurious design
By finishing the living room in beige tones, you can get a successful range of warmth and comfort. Modern combinations of black and snow-white palette add modernity.
The rustic style involves the presence of boxes, frames and all kinds of pots that will add originality and naturalness. You just need to select them in one general manner. Be sure to place a rug on the floor.
If it is not possible to place the TV separately from the fireplace installation, then you should pay attention to some recommendations:
- These two important items should in no case be located opposite;
- You should also not hang a TV screen above the fireplace area. This creates inconvenience when viewing programs.
Specifics of the furnishings of the hall combined with a kitchen space
A kitchen combined with a living room is a trend in recent years. This design looks quite extraordinary and original. It also helps to visually increase the area of the room.
At least 5 m² should be allocated for the dining area. Decorating a living room-kitchen requires installing a powerful hood and carefully considering the ventilation system.
The main problem is to correctly divide the space into zones. Using one of the following techniques will help to visually distinguish the kitchen part from the living room:
- multi-level stretch ceilings;
- different floor coverings;
- bar counter;
- lighting system.
Avoid bright colors
The overall mood is influenced by the chosen style and the characteristics of the psychological background of those who live in the house. You shouldn't use a strong color palette for this. For the place where you plan to relax, you need to choose a pleasant range of green or blue colors.
- This palette will help you relax and unwind after a hard day.
- In addition, proper distribution of color combinations will help to correct those aspects of the room that have deficiencies.
- The depth of the space will be much more noticeable when three walls in the room have a deeper tone, and one is made in a lighter color scheme.
For private homes, the country style, or the one that is closer to it, is considered closest in spirit. Materials with a natural structure have a beneficial effect on the atmosphere.
These are mainly noble tree species. In addition, you should not clutter the space with a lot of furniture. It is better to maintain a feeling of spaciousness and lightness of space.
Color spectrum
Modern interiors lean toward classic colors: white, black, beige, gray and wood. Color accents are not flashy and acidic, but deep and multifaceted. For example, it is mustard instead of yellow, burgundy instead of scarlet, emerald instead of grassy or salad.
White living room in modern style
White unifies the space and allows you to combine several different zones without disturbing the harmony. This is the best and win-win option for rooms that combine several functions. And such a white living room is very easy to update or refresh: just change textiles, accents and decor.
Black living room in modern style
If you are lucky enough to have a large, spacious and bright living room, black color will make it very stylish and noble. Just be sure to dilute it with other accents and take care of multi-level lighting. In modern style, glossy, matte, satin, and complex relief textures are equally good.
Gray living room in modern style
Gray color is a modern classic and therefore it is good in the same interiors. The variety of shades allows you to experiment: from almost white to metallic steel, dark graphite or warm taupe. Gray also effectively highlights colorful accents, allowing them to play in a completely new way.
Green living room in modern style
Green is the color of freshness, lightness and nature, which is both invigorating and relaxing. Pistachio or complex shades of salad will fit into bright modern living rooms, and emerald, malachite and khaki will fit into dark ones. Green and white look very light and airy, with gray it looks stylish and restrained, and with beige and brown shades it looks natural and organic.
Beige living room in a modern style
If you gravitate towards more classic solutions, feel free to take all the variations of beige, cream or ivory. They are combined with laconic wooden furniture in a cool shade, with leather sofas, glass and even chrome. The play of contrasts gives the same effect of whimsical eclectic harmony characteristic of such interiors.

Modern classic
The interior is distinguished by the size of the furniture and relatively modest accessories; there are no spectacular accessories here and the classics fit into modern life. Multi-level ceilings, modern finishes, and laminate flooring are welcome.
Furniture should convey the texture of wood and be free from carvings and gilding. The living room in the neoclassical style combines classic and modern equipment and appliances, an electronic fireplace.
Neoclassicism comes to life in modern homes: in the photo, the TV, false fireplace, gilding and white spotlights in the interior go well together.
Italian style
The interior features geometric patterns, columns, worn gilding, as well as floor-standing vases, figurines and sculpture. Such a living room should have marble or parquet floors, classic massive furniture, walls with paintings and gold, and a voluminous chandelier.
Baroque
A living room in the Baroque style means an abundance of gold in the decoration of walls and furniture, a crystal chandelier, and antique furniture.
Art Deco
An Art Deco living room combines rich finishes and brilliance of accessories. Preference is given to clear lines, sharp corners and ornaments. Light and neutral walls here serve as a backdrop for bright and contrasting interior elements.
The photo shows an example of decorating a living room in the art deco style, which makes it possible to combine an abundance of glass, mirrors, gloss and bright colors in the interior. Pink soft panels and a sun mirror on the accent wall complement the chosen style.
Provence
The design of a living room in the Provence style cannot be called simple; it is rather a luxury that lives in simplicity. The interior is characterized by retro colors, field themes, and plenty of sun. It is possible to create Provence due to the abundance of light, a characteristic window frame, aged furniture, handicrafts and natural textiles, fresh flowers and stone.
Provence is created only from light colors; the darkest color here is the color of wood. Wheat, beige, sand, milk, blue, pistachio, ocher, pink make the living room brighter and promote relaxation.
Furniture in the living room should be made of light wood with signs of wear, or painted in pastel colors. Carvings and patterns are acceptable in the interior. For the style to become recognizable, it is important to have a sideboard, a round table, and a rocking chair. The main furniture is placed throughout the room, not against the walls. Furniture upholstery should be made of linen, cotton, chintz.
The interior decor will be family photos, a coffee set, a jewelry box, and fabric dolls. The chandelier should have wooden elements on a forged frame; textile floor lamps in bright colors are appropriate.
A carpet in the center of the room to match the color of the textiles is required. Curtains in the interior should be made of natural fabrics with embroidery, or knitted from yarn using the fillet technique. The color of curtains and curtains is white, with floral motifs or checkered. Ruffles and frills, Roman and classic curtains should be in the color of the upholstered furniture.
To decorate the walls of the living room, casual plaster in white, wallpaper with bright bouquets or flowers are suitable. The ceiling should imitate a log floor, and the floor should be covered with wooden boards and tiles.
