Turn your living room into a space that is warm and comfortable.
Your living room is the most used and is like a public space of your home. It is a place where you host your guests and family, a space that is not private but meant for all. Therefore, while doing up our living room, we are often torn between “what I want and what others may like”! I suggest that you follow your heart with some basic principles in mind. This party season, spruce up your home with some really cool stuff starting with your living room.
- Have a seating for double the family members who live in the home.
- While you are it, structure the seating area that is not all low; for those with knee or back trouble, seating height is crucial (it is not confined to age) ideally between 15″ to 17″ from the floor level.
- Give more importance to comfortable, conversation-friendly seating and not around the television.
- The light should not be complicated and flushed. Create comfortable lighting with table and floor lamps in combination with another layer of bright lights.
- The coffee tables or centre tables in the living room must be placed conveniently.
- If you are blessed with a big living room, then add side tables / nesting tables around the seating.
- Avoid too personal photographs in the living room. Reserve them for a private area of your home.
- Put up art on the walls or a subtle wallpaper to add a dash of glamour to the space.
- A rug under the coffee table is a good idea to create the perfect ambience.
Your living room is a space that must make your guests feel comfortable. Be house-proud and enjoy being home to entertain them this party season. Make it feel warm and not intimidating. Happy partying! 🙂
