Living Room Design

By Darren Hartley


Living room design involves the aspects of functionality and decorativeness. As far as decorativeness is concerned, the major factor for consideration is the creation of a room that is visually appealing.

The elements needing attention in the functional aspect of a living room design include the comfort of the space, furniture layout and traffic patterns. Not to be forgotten as a functional element is having the right spaces and furniture for all room activities including entertaining.

The functionality of a living room design lies mainly on the determination of what the living room will be used for. Living rooms are normally used for entertaining, executing family games, reading and television watching.

The number of guests to be entertained is an important factor in the insurance of having enough seating and space in a living room design. The living room can also be turned into a cozy retreat area for family members during the times when there are no entertaining activities.

Knowing what activities are to be done in the living room will assure there is enough room and furniture for each and every living room activity. The living room design can then be correctly completed knowing this fact.

The traditional decorating ideas and furniture layout for a living room design with a standard shape may not work for a living room with an awkward or unusual shape. Corollary to this, a small living room design will not apply to a very large living room.

The use of smaller scale furniture pieces, the modification of the furniture and the selection of unconventional pieces are features of a small living room design. Alternatively, the use of large and over-sized pieces is a feature of large living room designs.

Essential to a small living room design is the positioning of the furniture pieces so that the room appears uncluttered. In addition to this, the space must remain easy to navigate in. Conversation areas must also be created in the living room.

The grouping together of sofas and chairs is a must in small living room design. This grouping will ensure that people can talk to one another easily. The arrangement of the room must allow people to walk around the conversation areas and not through them.

A focal point to the space must be found to complete a small living room design. This can be provided by architectural features such as a window or fireplace. For living rooms without built-in features, focal points can be provided by a large piece of furniture, an art or wall hanging.
