Today everyone can afford to buy a set of upholstered furniture to decorate their living room.
A lot influences the choice of set... So, if the room is spacious, then you can choose the sofa that you just like, but if it is very small, then you should refuse massive furniture, giving preference to a corner model.
It’s not difficult to choose the type of furniture that you will like and satisfy all your desires. The basic rule that must be observed is a single style.
Decorating in a particular interior style has a positive effect on a person.
Interior styles for the hall
First of all, the interior of the room should please all family members.
Classic design
Basic principles:
- Symmetry.
- Harmony.
- High quality expensive materials.
A real fireplace is always appropriate in a classic interior, but in an apartment you will have to make do with a beautiful imitation
The color scheme varies depending on your preferences, but gilding will be mandatory. The walls are decorated with stucco, decorative plaster, stone, marble or wood.
Pay attention to the choice of a beautiful chandelier or floor lamps with crystal elements.
High-tech style
High-tech style using the latest technology and design. The most commonly used materials are:
- plastic;
- glass;
- metal.
A high-tech hall is definitely a strict and rational design
The walls should be perfectly smooth, the furniture should have a strict geometric shape. The floor is most often made of ceramic tiles, the ceiling is multi-level with lighting.
Minimalism style
The name speaks for itself: minimum items, maximum practicality. The basis of the color scheme is white, complemented by shades of brown or gray.
Minimalism dictates careful attention to the choice of finishing materials and pieces of furniture
Furniture in the minimalist style is characterized by simplicity of design, and the room as a whole is distinguished by rational use of space, conciseness and functionality. The walls are monochrome; liquid wallpaper or wall panels are suitable.
Please note: the glossy surface of the furniture will visually expand the room.
Ethnic style
There are many variations of this style, but in general they are all divided into:
- authentic ethnicity;
- ethnic mix;
- ethnic accents.
Authentic ethnicity is a repetition of the ancient style of a certain culture with precision to detail.
Ethnic design is a mixed concept that includes the stylistics of different nations
An ethnic mix is a combination of several cultures in one space.

Ethnic accents are when one style is taken as a basis, and an artifact of the culture of an ancient civilization is used as an accent.

Art Deco
Imagine Salvador Dali embodied in the form of an interior. This will be the art deco style. It is distinguished by its unusualness, brightness, luxury and combination of seemingly incompatible cultures in one room. Art Deco connoisseurs usually represent the upper class of society.
Traditional Art Deco is based on a contrasting combination of black and white colors
Required:
- clear lines;
- bright contours and contrasts;
- zigzag decor;
- massive mirrors.
Art Nouveau style
A simplified version of art deco. This style is softer and lighter, but no less luxurious. When choosing furniture for a living room in the Art Nouveau style, remember the smooth lines and lack of symmetry.
Modern is a very dynamic style that quickly responds to new fashion trends
It, like many other styles, values natural materials. Plant and animal motifs are used in wall decoration and furniture upholstery. Large windows with mosaics and a door with stained glass elements are required.
Neo-classical
If you like the classic style, but you also highly value modernity and elements of minimalism, pay attention to the neo-classical style.
In this style, classic luxury is harmoniously combined with modern functionality.
The color of walls, floors, ceilings and surfaces of cabinet furniture is traditionally restrained: shades of white, gray and brown are suitable. If desired, add bright details with items in rich colors of burgundy, emerald or turquoise.
Neo-classic implies luxury and status, therefore it requires a large number of square meters. This style is suitable for your room only if it is really large.
Loft style
Suitable for lovers of new, modern and extraordinary interiors. Its peculiarity is spaciousness, bright accents, unusual things and at the same time simplicity, preserving space and not cluttering it.
The loft is characterized by brickwork, wooden floors and gray concrete surfaces
A distinctive feature of the loft style is the zoning of space. Moreover, this can be done not necessarily due to the partition. Use furniture or different flooring and wall colors to demarcate the space.
Traditional decoration of the walls of a loft-style hall:
- Concrete walls.
- Brickwork.
- Panels that imitate the two previous options.
Please note: the central element of a loft-style room would be a fireplace.
Country style
A distinctive feature of country style is the use of exclusively natural materials.
It is better to decorate, install or hide all equipment and other items that hint at modernity.
The arrangement of furniture directly depends on its practical use, so in a country style room it may seem that everything is located chaotically. The walls are usually made in an economical manner: they are plastered and painted in a light color - for example, beige.
Country music in an apartment is an attempt by city residents to get closer to country life
The country style ceiling is made of wooden beams, if the height allows, of course. The floor is also made of wood or stone.
Provence style
Artificially aged furniture, cushions, wooden picture frames, figurines for decoration create a special atmosphere in the Provence style. Wallpaper with a floral pattern is appropriate for walls. The general color palette is in pastel colors.
French Provence is able to give any room exquisite tenderness
This style is more suitable for romantic natures than for those who like to keep up with the times.
Corner sofas with sleeper: folding mechanism
A guarantee of a restful sleep is the reliable design of the sofa, which provides easy transformation, the best installation of all its parts and a perfectly flat and comfortable sleeping surface. Popular mechanisms:
Dolphin. It happens together - roll-out + dolphin. It is a very common variety. Forms a flat surface by moving forward. Despite its intricate design, it is known for its resistance to impact and reliability. The transformation is easy even for children. “Not afraid” of frequent unfolding. The downside is the high price.
Eurobook. A popular economical option and inexpensive, thanks to its simple mechanism. Obvious advantages: low price range, variety of shapes and colors, comfortable place to sleep.
Accordion. The mechanism, often used in sofas of various shapes, provides an almost uniform sleeping area, has a robust construction, and is suitable for frequent use.

Puma. Robust, impact-resistant mechanism suitable for regular use. Eliminates mechanical damage to any floor covering by the moving part during transformation, since the legs extend at the very end of the manipulation. Comfortable and smooth sleeping area. Easy to use.
No mechanism. A modern corner sofa in the living room, which has large parameters, can easily do without transforming mechanisms, in the case when it consists of two or more autonomous modules, which themselves represent places to sleep.
Color solutions for the hall
It all depends on the style you choose. But still, there is a general rule when choosing a color scheme:
- Decide on a base color.
- Choose two or three additional shades.
- If necessary, choose one contrasting color for a pop of color.
This way you definitely don’t run the risk of seeming like a person without taste, no matter in what style you decorate the room. See the photo of the interior room in the apartment below.
To decorate a small room, it is better to choose light shades - white, beige or light gray.

Separate living room
When planning the design of a living room or apartment (the photo shows this), you can give it any look and execute it the way you always wanted, and the size of the room does not matter. In a two-room apartment, such a room is separate from the others. Its area is slightly more than 18 m2, but it is still strictly forbidden to clutter it with furniture. A false fireplace will perfectly complement the fireplace, adding coziness to the room.
Hall wall decoration
How to choose wallpaper for wall decoration? If you have chosen wallpaper for wall decoration, pay attention to unusual solutions:
- Liquid wallpaper.
- Photo wallpaper.
- A combination of different wallpapers in the living room.
Below are wallpaper design options for apartment renovation.
Wallpaper can be used to effectively highlight an accent wall in the living room.
Photo wallpaper with a realistic panorama is ideal for the role of a visual “enlarger” of space
What to do with the floors in the hall
Modern halls are different in that the floor is not necessarily made of the same material. Nowadays you can often find rooms where different flooring is used in different areas.
Natural wood parquet looks great in a spacious room
If the room is small, use horizontal flooring. If, on the contrary, you want to visually lengthen the room, we recommend laying the material diagonally.
Upholstery
Upholstery today is made from expensive natural leather, fur, leatherette, and textiles.
If you want to buy light-colored furniture, then the ideal upholstery option is flock, the advantages of which are the preservation of the original color and texture.
If there are no children or animals in the house, then you can safely buy furniture with jacquard upholstery. It looks profitable, expensive, but is not easy to care for.
When buying furniture, it is important to realize that its service life is about 5-10 years, and therefore you should not buy the first cheap option you come across, because the furniture will be used very intensively every day.

The filler must be dense, because soft material will initially be comfortable, but after that the elastic state will no longer be maintained.

How to decorate the ceiling in the hall
Depending on the style, the ceiling design can be:
- white;
- colored;
- glossy pendant;
- with additional lighting;
- with wooden beams;
- with stucco.
Multi-level structures made using plasterboard and tension fabrics allow you to create an interesting ceiling design

Lighting and decorative elements
What chandeliers are suitable for the living room:
- Huge crystal, with gilding - for classic and modern style.
- Small-sized metal ones - for high-tech and art deco.
- Built into the ceiling or walls - for Scandinavian and minimalism.
- Neat wooden ones - country, ethno style.
We offer photos of living room designs in the apartment below for inspiration.
Happy owners of spacious apartments can afford classic chandeliers with long pendants
Compact and built-in lamps are more suitable for modern interiors
Price
The cost of upholstered furniture starts from 50 thousand rubles, and depends on both the size and the upholstery, make and brand.
Models of upholstered furniture made from fabric are also in demand today. In the photo of upholstered furniture for the living room you can see the advantageous arrangement of such models in the interior.
Choosing furniture for the hall
Wardrobe in the living room
Unlike the old sideboards in grandma’s Khrushchev buildings, the wardrobe in the living room will look much more modern. In the case of a small room, we recommend choosing glossy and mirror surfaces when choosing cabinet fronts.
Built-in wardrobe with mirrored doors - ideal for a small room
Place the wardrobe along the wall, or even better - a built-in option. Use furniture not only for storing things, but also for zoning the room, if the size and overall style allow.
Other suitable furniture options
Poufs instead of sofas and armchairs, as well as hanging shelves for zoning the room, will look unusual in the room.
The pouf can be used both for sitting and as a coffee table
The most ordinary balcony can be turned into additional living room space. This idea is a budget option for a small area.
On the glazed and insulated balcony you can organize a place to relax or a study
Photos of the living room in the apartment design are shown in the gallery below.
So, for the design of the hall, it is important to decide on the style. One way or another, everything depends on him. The color scheme, the decoration of walls, ceilings and floors, the arrangement of furniture - it all depends on the style that you like.
Remember: it is not so important to impress your guests with the interior design of the hall, but to create a space in which you and your family will feel good and cozy.
Nuances of space zoning
In practice, it is usually impossible to do without dividing the room into functional parts - fortunately, designers have come up with quite a few ways of zoning.
Namely:
- Using furniture elements (sofa, bar counter, shelves with books, flowers and small items, etc.) instead of a partition;
- Designed like arched openings;
- Using different floor or wall finishes that visually emphasize certain areas;
- By constructing special niches for the sleeping bed, hiding a place to sleep;
- By providing special partitions (slatted, sliding, for example), curtains, light screens;
- You can use different autonomous lighting sources;
- By building floors of different levels or podiums with steps, etc.
Even if it is decided to divide the area of the hall into separate sections, we must not forget that all the elements are in some way interconnected without disturbing the overall picture of the space.
