The main elements of the living room

A kind of quintessential interior design is the living room. If the kitchen is the heart, then the living room is the “face” of the house, its front part.

Curtains

Curtains give the room a finished look. Ennoble windows. They can be different in texture, design, color. It all depends on the style of the living room. If this is a classic style, then the curtains should be made of heavy dense fabrics. Velvet, brocade. If this is a Provence style, then curtains made of chintz, silk-satin will do. High-tech style, loft may not require the use of curtains at all.

Important. Speaking about all this, do not forget about the sense of proportion. Even a huge living room with a beautiful interior can be turned into a museum or a warehouse of unnecessary things.

If you are not lucky with the size or how to decorate the interior of a small living room

Of course, the living room is the largest room in an apartment or house. But this does not happen to everyone. For a small living room, we use the same decoration elements as for a large, but only metered. Do not clutter up the room with extra furniture, pompous artsy curtains, decor items. Furniture should not be massive. You can install a small fireplace or a raised fireplace. Organically fit the aquarium. For a small living room, the use of mirrors, for example, cabinets with mirror facades, will be relevant.

You can expand the space of the guest room in several ways:

  • make a living room-studio (if the layout allows, remove the wall between the kitchen and the living room);
  • use light colors in the design of the room;
  • glossy stretch ceilings, mirror facades will help to visually expand the space.

The design of a house or apartment is not a constant variable. It must constantly change. But this does not mean that large-scale repairs need to be done. Design ideas for the home, small tricks that will not allow the interior to become obsolete, become boring and inanimate will come to the rescue.

Designer things

Blackboard photo

First, prepare a wooden surface. It should be dry and smooth. We print the desired photo on a laser printer. Then, cover the board with two layers of varnish (can be yacht). With a clerical knife, cut out the image area and gently apply the image face down.

Instead of varnish, it is better to use acrylic gel medium

When the varnish is completely dry, wipe off a layer of paper with a damp cloth, so that the photograph "appears". Let the workpiece dry and coat again with two layers of varnish. The product is ready.
