In our selection - a symmetric decor over a sofa, a massive cabinet-showcase and other solutions that could be bored.
1 massive cabinet or rack
Many are still difficult to think through the living room: it is clear that it should be beautiful and functional, but it is not clear how to achieve it. The decision immediately comes to the head, which exists in Russian apartments for half a century - a major servant with glass doors. Or a slightly more modern option - an open rack in the whole wall.
A major servant will overload the living room visually, but it will not give a lot of storage space - you can place the book behind the glass and decor. A large open rack will have to constantly wipe away from dust.
Idea for replacement
Try to solve the tasks for decorating the room and storage separately. For beauty on the wall, you can hang some decor: from plates to posters. It's not so clearly visible behind the glass.
And for storage, use a shallow chest. He does not overload the room and fit in it more significantly. You can put it on a TV or under pictures. If there are tasks for storing a large library, then from a large closet, of course, it will not be rationally refuse.
2 Combination Sofa TV
Another of the most templated solutions: put a sofa along one wall, and opposite to hang the TV. Such a choice is clear if the TV is really watching in the living room. But many people prefer to install the TV in the kitchen today, in the bedroom or to make the area like a home theater with a projector.
Idea for replacement
If you do not use the TV in the living room often, expand the soft zone. Add to the sofa a couple of chairs, the emblem. Large carpet and put a coffee table on it. Along the free wall you can place the chest of drawers and put a picture or plants on it. Another interesting decision is Falsimin. You can decompose the books, decor, put candles or lay the garland. The living room will become more comfortable than with a conventional black screen.
3 Only one zone
Often in the living room create only a soft zone for recreation, even if the area of the room allows you to come up with more scenarios. As a result, this is not functional. And the emptiness is left as it is or filled with cabinets and shelves.
Idea for replacement
Try to plan several zones in your interior. For example, in the living room you can endure the dining area and unload the small kitchen. Or make an area of reading. You can find a place to work or create a play zone for children.
4 Symmetric Patterns Over Sofa
Well-selected decor on the wall is better than a naked wall (if you do not have minimalism). But very often the wall decor becomes a tribute to necessity, and he does not pay enough attention. It turns out stylistically literate, but some boring compositions.
Idea for replacement
There is a good interior habit - regularly update the decor in the room. Since there are fasteners for paintings and posters that help avoid drilling walls, you can change the composition at your own request. Experiment at an intuitive level, do not be afraid asymmetry and unusual solutions. With them the living room will look more lively and interesting.
5 Plants on the windowsill
The plant on the windowsill is a familiar solution, but old-fashioned and even harmful to many indoor flowers, which leaves are contraindicated with direct sun rays.
Idea for replacement
Consider large plants in outdoor pots. They occupy the same place as a small cabinet or coffee table, so they will even fit into small living rooms. But at the same time they will make the interior at times more interesting.
