Design Ideas

1- Determine the living room style :

You should know which style of a living room do you want, even if this was just an image that you imagine in your mind. Decide if you want the style to be classic , modern , or rustic. In this you can benefit from decorating sites, or furniture magazines. Your living room should reflect your individuality.

2- Choose a suitable colour scheme :

You should focus on the favorite colours for you. Also pay attention to the to the harmony between wall and furniture colours, as if the colours are matching together this will give you the sense that the room is larger.

Cool and light colours on most surfaces give the room a more open look.

3- Use furniture items suitable to the room size :

Furniture items needs to fit the space they are going to occupy.

If you have a small living room you should not use too big stuff, as this will make the room narrow and cramped.

4- Arrange furniture items appropriately :

After choosing your furniture, you should organize it appropriately in order to make the best use of the narrow space that you have . Move furniture away from walkways and put short pieces of furniture like an ottoman, an armless, open chair, or a low table. If you can see the floor, the room will look larger.

5- Make it mirrored :

Mirrors are a classic way to open up space in a room and make it appear larger. They function best not just by reflecting existing space, but by adding light to a room—a key element in making the room appear more expansive and inviting.

6- Let in the Light :

Any room will look larger if it’s well-lit, either by natural light or artificial lighting. Get rid of heavy draperies and open up the windows to let the light of the outdoors into the space. Add more lamps or install track lighting or recessed lighting.

7- Accessorize:

Once you’ve established and arranged your furniture, it’s time to accessorize. Books and unusual games like Japanese puzzle boxes are useful accessories because they will make you and your visitors enjoy your times.

Fall Trends

Fall is the time for warm, rich and cozy colors. From hues of chocolate brown, greys and golden yellow to burnt orange, these ideas will have you excited about the change of the leaves!

Bold Colors

This fall is all about bold colors, and Pantone, the color experts, have released some beautiful colors to choose from. This year’s fall 2013 color report includes a versatile palette including Mykonos Blue, Linden Green, Acai, Samba, Koi, Deep Lichen Green, Vivacious, Turbulence, Carafe, and Emerald, the color of the year. Whether you choose from these, or just use them for inspiration in finding something similar, bold colors are worth incorporating into your home through paint, fabric, accents or whatever other vessels you can find.

Sustainability and Durability

Each year, it seems as though sustainable and durable products, made of natural materials, are more and more in demand. From ceilings to countertops to floors and even walls, raw and exposed products made of natural materials like stone, wood, cork and metal, will be desired in the home. Not only do they look great and last long, they help sustain the environment around us.

Graphic Patterns

Graphic patterns have been a hot trend for a couple of years now and it appears as though that’s not going to change. Chevron will still be a top pick, but so will patterns such as stripes, herringbone, houndstooth, large plaids, and anything geometric. While you can use graphic patterns to reupholster furniture, you can also incorporate it in smaller ways through items such as fabric draperies, area rugs, accent pillows and bed linen.

Touches of Brass

Light fixtures, faucets and accents like candle holders, lamp bases, or picture frames will be best when made of brass. The element is making a big comeback because it mixes well with other metals, making it the perfect trend to incorporate into your home.

Decking the Walls with Art

If you haven’t been taking advantage of the art fairs that pass through your town, maybe you should start. A great way to bring color and personality into your space, without costing a fortune, is by adding pieces of art. Whether it’s something inexpensive from a local artist, or something pricy bought from an art gallery showing, you can’t go wrong. This is a trend that will probably be around for quite a while.
