Color and decoration
The interior of the living room in a modern style is usually decorated in soft shades of green, brown, beige, gray. The base is beautifully served by white, and bright accents can be arranged with the help of accessories and textiles. A fine example of the actual design is the Scandinavian direction in the interior. In a typical Swedish house you will see dairy walls, wooden floors, lots of light and functional furniture.
For effective modern design, you can use and mix different materials:
- wood;
- metal;
- stone;
- plastic;
- the glass.
For example, you can leave an untreated brick wall. This combination is used to create a loft-style room where you will surely see one wall without wallpaper or paint, wide wooden boards on the floor, a large lamp, a large mirror and huge windows.
Zoning
In the living room in a modern classic style, you can combine several functional areas, even in a small area. First of all, we allocate a comfortable place for rest with a big sofa, an armchair, a TV stand and a coffee table. Over the sofa, you can hang a chandelier with soft lighting or put a floor lamp. To create comfort, put a soft carpet with a large pile.
Today, more and more people choose combined kitchen-living rooms, so the second area in your room will be a mini-dining room and a working place for cooking. Here it is necessary to put a tile on the floor, and hang a powerful hood above the stove. Also, each hostess will need bright lighting, so you should buy lockers with lights.
Modern classics and provides an office in the living room. A computer table can be placed next to a blank wall, on which it is convenient to hang shelves or photographs. Each of the zones, if desired, is separated by a sliding wall-door or a shelf, in which beautiful books, paintings, candles, plants or vases look beautiful.
The modern design of the living room with functional areas is well illustrated in the photo.
Storage of things
Owners of small living rooms usually face the problem of massive wardrobes for clothing and household items that do not fit into modern style. We advise you to use in your apartment the following tricks:
- Sofa and chairs - buy furniture with storage space. Imagine that in a three-seater sofa you can hide all the seasonal clothes and shoes, and in the armchair you will find unnecessary children's toys!
- Balcony - if you have a loggia or a balcony, try to equip the shelves there to make more room for the main room.
- Deaf corner - it's good to put a built-in wardrobe from ceiling to floor. Even if the design only takes one square meter, it will accommodate a lot of items and replace the whole rack.
