Living Room Design. Details of Interior Decoration. The living room in any home is a place where the whole family gathers in the evening, where guests are received and friendly gatherings with movies and popcorn take place. Living room design is the business card of an apartment. It will show your level of wealth, your character and your preferences.

Before choosing the interior of a living room, consider which zones should be in it.

If desired, you can create living room design by yourself, investing all your imagination, skills and desires. Or you can also look for ready-made design ideas online.

If your apartment consists of more than two rooms, your living room will perform only one function – that is, the relaxation and guest reception area. However, owners of large apartments are not so numerous today. In two-room or one-room apartments, the living room takes on many functions – it can be combined with a bedroom, kitchen, hallway, or children's zone.

Before starting a renovation, agree on the living room interior with all family members. Photos of ready-made options or a hand-drawn sketch can help visualize the future living room. Plan the number of zones and placement of furniture.

In room zoning, if you don’t want to clutter an already not very spacious space, use light partitions, glass, screens, tulle curtains. Good options can also be large indoor plants, open bookshelves, and furniture arrangement.

To zone the room de jure rather than de facto, use the idea of platforms, flooring with different levels and textures, highlighting zones through ceiling structures, color schemes for walls or ceiling, lighting zoning, and finally, furniture arrangement. By the way, platforms can not only visually highlight a zone but also accommodate a pull-out bed or drawers, which is important for small apartments.

If you are not ready to make big expenses, young in body and soul, it's easiest to decorate the living room with a youthful style. This design does not require large financial investments, and the interior can be decorated boldly, brightly, and with a spirit of adventure.

With a substantial sum for renovation and weakness toward luxurious interiors, consider living room designs in Art Deco, Rococo, Baroque, or Empire styles.

For lovers of simple functional design without excesses, Loft, High-Tech, and Minimalism styles would suit.

Romantic souls and lovers of a rural atmosphere will appreciate Shabby Chic, Country, and Mediterranean styles.

Always interesting and original will be living rooms in Ethnic, African, Moroccan, or Indian styles. If you love peace and solitude, the Japanese style with its philosophy and asceticism is for you.

• In small rooms, you can visually expand the space by painting walls and ceiling in light tones.
• Wallpaper with a vertical pattern will make the living room taller, while horizontal stripes will make it wider but lower the ceiling.
• To decorate an interior in an African style, you don’t need to import slaves from Africa with whips and woven baskets. It’s enough to add a few touches – masks on the walls, vases, skins on the floor, figurines.
• If you want to merge two spaces into one but a load-bearing wall is in the way, arches and through openings can be the solution.
• Do not place a fireplace and television next to each other. Both items easily become centers of attention and draw attention away from one another.
• You don’t need to blindly follow the described style. Experiment, add your ideas, mix styles (but in moderation). However, remember that you live in this room and only you, so the most important thing is that everything pleases you.
