How do you arrange a large living room?

The dimensions of the living room should not be perceived as a chore when you want to arrange a living room according to your own wishes. They can be seen, rather, as a challenge. And regardless of the space you have available, it should fully reflect your style and personality.

The living room is the most social room in the house, next to the kitchen with dining space. When the space at your disposal is generous, the decorative objects, furniture and materials used can be more dramatic and imposing.

The arrangement of the living room can be done by thinking about the purpose for which it is intended. You want the space to be used for lavish family dinners or maybe you think that your living room will be the place where you will receive your guests or spend unforgettable moments with your family.

Take into account the shape of the room

The shape of the living room is important in its arrangement. For example, a piece of furniture that you can integrate into a square living room will not fit in a narrow living room. Moreover, at first glance, a square living room is easier to arrange, because it does not look like a hallway. However, unlike the rectangular one, it is more difficult to divide into zones.

Choose the style that suits your preferences

Choosing the style in which you arrange your living room is not only about fashion, but especially about personal preferences, to which are obviously added constraints related to the dimensions of the room. Chic, minimalist, modern, retro, rustic, urban, Nordic, vintage, classic, romantic, feng shui, every decorative style has certain pieces of furniture that match and will enhance the effect.

Use textures and shades for contrast

The colors used to arrange and decorate the large living room should be combined in such a way that they do not become overwhelming. However, the contrast and dynamics of the space matter for the personality you give to the living room. So, you can use patterns for the accessories and textiles in your living room, but also trust the combinations between them. Textures are also important, especially once you decide which ones you want to include in your decor.

Walls give you the chance to be really creative. Use multiple shades of one color and create focal points for this transition. Locate a relevant point for the transition to a new shade, with the help of architectural details or in a corner where the transition can occur as naturally as possible. Shades of gray and dark blue are often found in modern interiors, contemporary and minimalist styles with personality.

Maximalism and freedom

The maximalist style can be approached in living room design. Moreover, maximalism means freedom, the freedom to juggle contrasting elements or textures, strong colors. Maximalism also means eclecticism, as it is a style that allows combining fundamentally opposite elements. It is a perfectly balanced excess.

Add decorative but useful elements

The fireplace is perfect for a romantic, bohemian, rustic, but also modern decor. However, you must keep in mind that if you choose to place a fireplace or living room arrangement with a stove in your living room, there should not be any other pieces of furniture nearby, as they will give the feeling of crowding. In addition, if the fireplace or stove emits heat, these items can be damaged.
