First of all, choose a cozy corner in the room where the children's living room will be located. The design of a small zone can be decorated in a fairy tale style if the child is still very young. A crib or a small foldable sofa and a place for play. When the child grows a bit older, a small desk area will also be needed.

To separate one zone from another, use light partitions, screens, curtains, or possibly transparent shelving. Do not clutter the space to allow enough light into the child's area. If you have arranged the children's room by the window, ensure that light reaches the relaxation zone as well.

• First, decide what zones will be in the hall and their purpose. If the hall is large, it can be divided into a dining zone and a relaxation zone.
• Second, carefully select colors. Remember that green and blue tones positively affect the nervous system, and warm color schemes are calming. If the room is not large, limit the use of overly bright colors.
• Third, for the hall, it is better to combine local lighting (floor lamps, table lamps) with general lighting.
• Fourth, the room should have a focal point around which furniture is grouped. This can be a television or fireplace.
• The choice of textiles depends not only on personal preferences but also on the chosen style of the living room. For modern design, Japanese or Roman curtains would be suitable.
