We all know that the living room is the most conspicuous place in the home, and it is also a place that takes a lot of effort to decorate. Many people will focus on decorating the living room. There are many ways to decorate the living room. Different styles will use different decoration materials and will have different decoration effects. So how should the living room be decorated? Let's take a closer look!

How to decorate the living room

First, functional area division

The living room occupies the largest area. Even a small apartment can be divided into areas for the TV, sofa, and background wall. The other third is used as a display area and storage area. As long as it is planned according to needs, the layout of the entire living room can be changed.

Second, lighting layout

Lighting is important for any functional area, especially in the living room, where it affects the visual effect and atmosphere of the entire area.

Therefore, when designing, in addition to the main light on the ceiling, you can also use other auxiliary lighting for embellishment, or even adopt a design without a main light, replacing it with light strips and track lights, and then add light sources near the sofa or TV background wall. While meeting the lighting needs of the space, it also improves the overall style.

Third, wall decoration

In addition to a small amount of blank space on the living room wall, you can use a color-blocking wall design and wallpaper according to your style. If these are too cumbersome, you might as well just keep the large white wall, and design on the TV background wall and the sofa background wall, and fill it with the pattern of the photo wall or decorative painting, so that the entire wall is full of design and create a comfortable living environment.

Fourth, furniture

The most important piece of furniture in the living room is probably the sofa. A good sofa affects our vision and experience. You can choose the material and size of the sofa according to your living conditions, fabric or leather, a sofa for two or four people, to make the design of the living room fuller.

Fifth, open living room

The concept of open living room can be applied to both large and small apartments as long as it is designed properly. In order to increase the lighting, the living room and balcony can be connected. In order to make room for multiple dining rooms, the living room and kitchen can be connected. The space can be put to the best use according to the location.

How to match the colors of the living room

The color of the living room decoration affects the overall tone of the home space. When choosing, you can choose according to personal preferences and the overall design style. No matter what the tone is, as long as it is reasonably designed, the final effect will not be too bad, making the living room more perfect.

1. Match according to personal preferences

Different decoration styles will certainly choose different colors. For example, the Mediterranean style mainly chooses white and blue tones, which will make the overall look brighter and fresher. Different colors have different effects on emotions. Warm colors such as crimson and lemon yellow can increase the warmth of the living room, while cool colors such as lavender and blue can relax the mood appropriately.

2. Choose colors according to light

Living rooms facing south or east have plenty of sunlight, so you can use cool colors such as purple and light blue for the walls. Living rooms facing north do not have enough sunlight, so you should use warm colors for the walls, such as light orange, and dark colors are not recommended.

3. Choose the color according to the furniture

If the large sofa you choose is a whole piece, it is best to bring a sample of the sofa cover color to choose the color of the living room paint. If the furniture in your living room is dark, it is more appropriate to choose bright colors to match it, which will make the living room look more impactful.

Key points of living room decoration design

1. Less is more, pursue simple design

Now the home decoration concept of "less is more" is becoming more and more popular, using simple design and simplified material colors to create a comfortable and cozy home environment.

It is not the case that using complicated craftsmanship and too many decorations will make the living room look better. Sometimes, too many decorations will make the space look crowded and messy.

In minimalist style home decoration, the line design of both hard and soft furnishings is very simple and smooth, supplemented by low-key and durable color matching, which is generous and looks elegant and beautiful.

2. Reduce furniture to meet needs

Many owners have limited living rooms. If they use the traditional layout of sofas, coffee tables, and TVs, the space for activities becomes very small and looks a little crowded. At this time, we can consider the selection and placement of furniture based on our own needs.

For example, if you don’t watch TV much, you can do without it.

The coffee table in the middle is too bulky, so we can replace it with a flexible combination coffee table, which can be disassembled and moved and placed next to the sofa as a side table.

If possible, the sofa can be "unconventional". Single sofas and lazy chairs can be flexible and convenient.

In this way, there are fewer pieces of furniture in the living room (more flexible), the activity space becomes larger, and it looks brighter and more beautiful.

3. Improve space utilization

The living room is not only used for meeting guests and relaxing, but can also be used as a reading area, parent-child activity area, etc., through clever design, more possibilities of the living room can be developed.
