Living Room Interiors

There are many simple hacks to make your small living room design look larger. Here are some living room ideas you could try:

• Play with the lighting: Natural light is your best friend! Keep windows clear and consider light-filtering curtains to maximise daylight. Unless privacy is a concern, you could even think of leaving the windows bare and without any curtains! Add thoughtfully chosen lamps and strategically placed mirrors to bounce light around the room.
• Space-saving furniture: Multifunctional furniture that does double duty, for instance nested tables or a centre table that transforms into a work desk, is a great idea in a smaller living room interior. Look for glass-topped furniture with legs that raise it off the floor, creating a sense of airiness. Choose low-profile pieces and pick light coloured wood instead of darker stains.
• Colours make a difference: Light and cool colours like white, cream and beige will make your space appear to be larger than it actually is.
• Declutter and organise: Not just in the living room, clutter visually shrinks any space! Declutter ruthlessly, pare down your belongings, and keep surfaces clear and free of clutter.
• Think vertical: Wall-mounted cabinets, a floating entertainment unit, and open shelves are better options than bulky furniture with a heavy footprint on the floor.
  

Looking for the best living room colours? Here are some tips:

• Consider the size of the room: Always pick light colours for small spaces, and embrace bolder colours in larger spaces.
• Think of the light available: A well-lit room can use bold and vibrant hues, but a dark and poorly lit space will end up looking dreary with too many colours.
• Desired mood: Warm colours (think yellows, reds, and oranges) create a cosy feel; while cool colours (blues, greens or greys) feel calming and spacious.
• Balance and flow: Choose a dominant living room colour and accent with complementary shades. For instance, the dominant shade can be white or grey, and the accents can be chrome yellow, green and blue.
• Personal style: Don't be afraid to inject your personality! What is your favourite shade? Whether it’s purple, black or greige, it should find its way into your room!

Your living room design should suit the needs and aesthetic preferences of your family. Here are some pointers:

• Identify your needs and lifestyle: How will your living room be used the most? Do you prioritise entertaining, relaxing, or a combination of both? When you work from home, does it double up as your home office? Do you watch TV to unwind in the evenings? Your living room design should reflect these needs.
• Consider your personal style: Do you prefer modern, traditional, or something else entirely?
• Browse for inspiration: Look at magazines, online resources, and showrooms to find styles you like. Make a mood board with elements that define your style. If there’s anything you like in our Design Catalogue or Experience Centre, let us know.
• Think about your budget: Decide how much you're comfortable spending on furniture, decor, and potential renovations. Set aside a buffer amount for unforeseen expenses.
  

Your living room is a very personal space, and you can experiment and mix and match the living room colours to find a combination you love! Here are some tips to get you started:

• Try monochrome: Create a sophisticated look with different shades of the same colour. (e.g., light grey walls with a darker grey sofa). You can add pops of an accent colour to break the monotony.
• Use complementary colours: Use hues that are right opposite each other on the colour wheel for a vibrant and energetic space. (e.g., blue walls with orange accents)
• Pick analogous shades: Choose colours next to each other on the colour wheel for a harmonious and calming effect. (e.g., green walls with teal accents)

Here are some living room colour combos that are very popular:

Crisp White, Black, and Gold: This timeless combination offers sophistication and elegance. White walls open up the space, while black furniture adds a touch of drama. Gold accents, through throw pillows, lamps, or picture frames, dial up the visuals and create a touch of luxury.

Earthy Palette: Kelly Green, Brick Red, and Muted Browns: This combination brings the warmth of nature indoors. Kelly green walls create a sense of hope and renewal, while brick red accents add pops of colour. Muted browns, used in furniture or rugs, ground the space and create a cosy atmosphere.

Light and Bright: Turquoise, Cool Gray, and Accents: This combination is perfect for creating a fresh and airy living room. Turquoise walls add a touch of coastal coolness, while cool grey furniture provides a neutral base. To add personality, bring in pops of colour through throw pillows, artwork, or flowers. You can use any bright shade you love, from sunshine yellow to coral pink, to make it uniquely yours!
