Living room design: create a comfortable and warm family atmosphere
The living room can generally be divided into reception area, dining area, study area and so on.The reception area should be properly outside, the dining area is close to the kitchen, and the study area only occupies a corner of the living room.While meeting the multifunctional needs of the living room, attention should also be paid to the coordination and unity of the entire living room. The local beautification and decoration of each functional area should obey the overall visual aesthetics.

The color design of the living room should have a keynote and reflect the hobbies of the owner.Generally, the color of the living room adopts more elegant or cooler tones.South-facing rooms have plenty of sunlight, so cooler tones can be used, while north-facing rooms can use warmer tones.The color tone is mainly reflected by the colors of the ground, walls, and top surfaces, while various decorations and furniture play the role of adjusting and supplementing.

The living room is the most active area in the home, so how to decorate this space becomes particularly critical.Regardless of whether the interior space is large or small, attention needs to be paid to creating a sense of spaciousness in interior design.The living room is the most important public activity space in the home. Regardless of whether it is artificially suspended or not, the height of the space must be ensured. This height means that the living room should be the one with the largest net height in the home space (except the stairwell). Various optical illusions are processed.

In interior design, it is necessary to ensure the beauty of the living room seen from all angles, which also includes the optimization of the outdoor scenery seen from the main viewpoint, that is, the sofa.The decoration of the living room should be the most beautiful or most individual in the whole room.The living room should be the light of the whole room, whether it is natural lighting or artificial lighting, it is the brightest. Of course, this bright spot is not absolute, but relative.Bright light isn't necessary for watching TV, but plenty of light is essential for other everyday activities.

In the decoration of the living room, it must be ensured that the decoration materials used, especially the ground materials, can be used for most family living behaviors.If you lay too smooth bricks in the living room, it may cause harm to the elderly or children or hinder their actions.The layout of the living room should be the smoothest. Whether it is a side-passing living room or a living room traffic line layout across the middle, it should ensure the smoothness of entering or passing the living room.Of course, this guarantee is formed when conditions permit.

The layout of the living room: arrange a warm leisure area
When designing the living room, it is necessary to divide different areas according to different functions, but the coordination and unity of the whole living room cannot be ignored.Generally speaking, an important principle we need to grasp is to make the living room comfortable and convenient, and make people feel warm.

The basic layout of the living room is generally composed of a group of seats or sofas and a matching coffee table, in addition to furniture configured according to needs.Because furniture is also the key point in the living room, when choosing furniture, pay attention to the simple shape of the furniture and the natural use of materials.The design of the reception area is generally based on the combination sofa, and the light, flexible and small combination sofa is surrounded by a circle, or the sofa is placed at the corner of the corner, so that the area can be effectively separated, and it can be used when receiving guests. , so that guests have a friendly and natural feeling.

The living room is originally a leisure space, usually providing a leisure area for people.The entertainment equipment set up in the living room should follow the principle of being easy to pick up and put away.A beautiful multi-compartment piece of furniture can be placed in the living room, which can not only display your favorite collections and handicrafts made by yourself, but also be a decorative highlight.In the audio-visual space, modern TVs and sound systems are mainly placed, and their placement should be naturally integrated with the surrounding environment.

Details of the design: make the living room into a perfect home space

For the detailed design of the living room, the positioning of the furniture must be considered first, because a stylish and orderly living room must have spacious and reasonable furniture positioning, so that visual beauty can be obtained under the premise of comfort and convenience.In addition, the utilization of the living room space should also be considered, and the principle of relaxation and comfort in the living room decoration should be grasped.Under the guidance of this principle, detailed planning should be carried out when designing the living room, considering where to put the sofa, where to put the TV, where to put the decorations, and so on.

After designing the space, it is also necessary to design the ground.The floor of the living room has a lot of activities, so the materials used for floor decoration should be easy to clean. Generally, ceramic floor tiles, solid wood floors, and composite wood floors are used.In order to keep the ground warm and improve the comfort and taste of the living room, some families also partially lay carpets in the seat and sofa areas to enhance the decorative effect.

The wall of the living room is also an important part of the decoration design. Most of the walls of the living room use high-quality interior wall paint or wallpaper, and some families even partially decorate the wall. Into a more personalized space such as antiques and logs.

In the design of the wall, we should also pay attention to the grasp of color.During the day, the color of the living room should be kept bright to give people a comfortable feeling.If the lighting in the living room is good, you can use green or light blue to increase the bright feeling of the living room.If the lighting effect in the living room is not very good, you must use brighter colors, such as light yellow, cream yellow or pink, to increase the brightness of the living room.If the living room area is not large, you must be cautious when choosing the wallpaper pattern. Large patterns of color are suitable for use on the living room walls with a relatively large area. Too fine patterns will make people feel irritated.The size of the pattern on the wallpaper should be relatively moderate, so that the overall effect will be good.

There are generally two types of ceiling decoration in the living room: suspended ceiling and original bottom decoration.The purpose of the suspended ceiling is first of all for the aesthetic feeling of decoration, and secondly to cover some pipelines on the ceiling.The original bottom decoration is to make surface decoration on the original basis.

Floor tiles in the living room: While strong and wear-resistant, it should also show the personality of the owner

For most people, the main living space in the home is still the living room.This is a place for the whole family to relax together and a place to gather with friends and family.In short, this is where people live and experience life.Floors for these spaces need to be strong, hardwearing, and easy to care for, while meeting people's needs for style and aesthetics.

Modern tile products fully meet people's requirements for aesthetics and functionality.A well-thought-out approach to tiling can accentuate the expressive look of a room, and a living room can easily feel pleasing and cozy with large chunks of earth or terracotta vitrified tile.If stone-colored or dark blue-gray floor tiles are laid on the floor of the living room, it will make the living room look modern and natural.

Design in light cream and brown tones can make the floor look elegant and noble.These two colors are soft and warm, creating a particularly domestic atmosphere for the room.If the unity of the floor is broken up with a step, chic chairs with beautiful upholstery, and elegant columns, this backdrop can create an ancient Roman look.

Pale, white and gray tiles accentuate the softness of the furnishings.In addition, you can also choose imitation marble tiles to match with wooden, rattan or metal furniture to form a perfect contrast.

The floor of the living area should avoid cold and rigid tiles.Based on tile shape, pattern, material and laying method, you can create a unique personalized floor that expresses your personal home style.Compared to natural stone, tiles are simple and easy to care for.Regardless of whether the tiles chosen are highly polished or naturally matt, they will last for many years, thus providing consumers with long-lasting enjoyment.The tiles are easy to clean, requiring just regular wipes with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Wall Decor: Decide on a theme for your living room arrangement

The wall is the key part in the decoration of the living room.Because it has a large area and is the place where the sight is concentrated, its decoration style, style and color play a decisive role in the style, style and color of the entire home.The decoration style of the living room wall is also the style of the whole home, so the decoration of the living room wall is particularly important.

The entertainment area and reception area of ​​the living room use a set of sofas and coffee tables, which are functionally sufficient, but many times, guests and family members want to watch TV, watch DVDs, sing karaoke, etc. here, so the TV wall becomes the most popular choice for many people. The focus of vision has also become the place that can best reflect personality and taste.The general method is to equip a set of low cabinets near the well-designed TV wall, and to decorate the walls with colorful spraying, wallpaper or wall coverings.Choosing colorful spraying has the characteristics of moisture-proof, mildew-proof, washable, heat-resistant and a variety of color options; using wallpaper or wall covering can choose your favorite patterns or patterns to reflect your hobbies.

In addition to several common decoration methods, here are several new decoration styles for TV walls:
1. When designing and decorating the TV wall separately, use rough-textured cultural stones as inlays, which can not only absorb sound, avoid the impact of sound on other rooms, but also bring out the delicacy of electrical appliances, forming a strong texture contrast .

2. Make a TV cabinet according to the wall, and place porcelain plates and antiques on the cabinet. Such a TV wall can easily attract the attention of guests and make people feel fresh.

Lighting design: using a variety of lighting methods to create a sense of hierarchy
In daily life, the entire living room needs to be evenly illuminated, while the overall illumination needs to be reduced during gatherings, and the necessary illumination should be adopted in some spaces to form a difference between light and dark.In this way, ordinary spaces will be distinguished by lighting settings.

Generally speaking, in the home decoration design, the living room should choose a variety of lighting schemes for different purposes, which can effectively enhance the sense of indoor light layering and make the living room warm.In daily life, the whole living room only needs uniform lighting. If it is a party or dance, the whole lighting needs to be changed.Therefore, the living room should be equipped with different lights according to the attributes of the space, and switches or dimmers should be set on each lighting fixture or different lines, and movable lamps such as floor lamps, table lamps and moving head spotlights can be used for local lighting.

The lighting in the living room has two functions, practicality and decoration.In order to enable family members to have proper lighting conditions in daily life, such as reading newspapers, watching TV, playing computer, etc., various possibilities must be considered in the design.Wiring embedded in the floor or wall and sockets on the wall should be carefully arranged, because the position of table lamps and floor lamps (and other electrical appliances) can be moved flexibly, but long wires are unsightly and unsafe.

Lamp selection: show a more perfect home decoration effect
Furniture is the main object to create a home atmosphere, and lighting is a key factor in creating a home space environment.The effects of light and shadow projected on objects, as well as the effect of light on the color, texture, and texture of decoration materials, make everyone pay more attention to the design of lighting and the effect of lighting.

The main function of lighting is to provide good light to provide lighting for people to complete a specific task, such as reading newspapers, watching TV, etc. At present, tungsten filament lamps are basically used for indoor lighting.The background light can provide a certain brightness for the whole room and enhance the atmosphere.Display lights are used to illuminate a particular part of a room, such as a painting, a sculpture, or a group of ornaments.Because of their high brightness, fluorescent lamps can mostly be placed in light boxes for flood lighting.Its downside is that you can't adjust the brightness, so that limits how it can be used.Low-voltage tungsten-halide lamps are expensive, but clear and bright high-quality lighting is more than enough to offset this shortcoming.It's also the closest thing to daylighting, though all low voltage lights require a transformer.Another advantage of low-voltage lamps is that the heat emitted by the bulb is absorbed by the reflector, so its light is cooler than other lamps, which is more suitable for use as a display lamp.Tungsten filament lamps are the most widely used lamp type, but have a relatively short lifespan and high power consumption.

Choose lamps according to the wall and ceiling, for example, dark walls will absorb light and require stronger lights.When purchasing lamps and lanterns, you should pay attention to whether the lampshade matches the light, and blindly paying attention to the shape will only be counterproductive.
