Make full repair in the living room is possible without the help of professionals, as well as global transformations. It is only important to comply with these simple rules.
1 Redevelopment
Design: Juliette Byrne
When arranging a very small living room, it is logical to give up the door and even from interior walls, combining the room with the main space of the apartment. The boundaries of the carpet can play the zoning line in this case.
2 point of focus
Design: Wolves Studio
Create a living room in the interior. It can be a home cinema, fireplace, rack with books or even a window with a good view. And already around this center, place furniture, carpets, select textiles.
3 Weathered stylistics
Design: int2architecture
Choose a single style interior style and stick it. It may be a universal classic, and the charm of Provence, and modern High-tech. Mixing different styles or eclecticism will quite harmoniously look at the living room of creative personalities or young people.
4 Furniture Detox
Design: Burton Page Design
Do not burden the room with plenty of furniture. The living room should not be too close, especially if guests are often gathering. If possible, also make a spacious entrance to the living room, do not "take away" it with a narrow pass.
5 Right shade of walls
Design: Marina Chernova
The walls of the living room should not be too dark: if you like this technique, it is more suitable for the bedroom. A deep color visually "compresses" the room, making it rather gloomy and shed. If you want to relax in the living room, choose cool and calm colors for the walls.
6 Color zoning
Design: P + A Interiors Inc
Create zones on which the look will "relax". In places where the look will delay the longest (for example, a wall behind the TV), it is better not to abuse with sharp color combinations.
7 New curtains
Design: Asya Bondareva
Know - the curtains are perfectly creating the basis for the color scheme and the general mood. Therefore, a good solution will be the complete replacement of the curtains. For example, change the dark curtains onto bright, golden on metal, dense curtains on the lungs, or vice versa. Do not be afraid of bold experiments and contrasts, and you will be surprised how the curtains will revive the usual interior.
8 Storage
Design: Sarah Greenman
The living room will not interfere with storage space, but because the function of the room is rather in vacation, they are better to hide them better. Choose furniture with built-in storage sections so that there is no disorder. The chest or the ottoman with a drawer can at the same time be a coffee table. On the perimeter of the room hang small lockers or put a low chest of drawers instead of a console table.
9 photos and pictures
Design: Polina Pidzan
Want to refresh the interior? Photos and paintings will come to the rescue: they will easily give the room a special highlight. If your interior is in itself, use more monochrome images. Single, large pictures place in the most prominent place, best above the sofa, chest of drawers or fireplace.

After repair, in everyday life, try not to litter the living room space. A large number of things and items certainly "eats" the precious space and negates all the efforts made.
