Design For Small And Large Living Rooms

By Darren Hartley


Functionality and decorativeness are the aspects to consider in a living room design. The major factor in the decorativeness of a living room lies in the creation of a room that is visually appealing.

The elements needing attention in the functional aspect of a living room design include the comfort of the space, furniture layout and traffic patterns. Not to be forgotten as a functional element is having the right spaces and furniture for all room activities including entertaining.

The functionality of a living room design lies mainly on the determination of what the living room will be used for. Living rooms are normally used for entertaining, executing family games, reading and television watching.

As far as entertaining is concerned, the number of guests to be invited is a determining factor for the insurance of enough seating and space in a living room design. Sans often entertaining, the living room can be turned to a cozy retreat area for the family members.

The assurance of having enough room and furniture for each and every living room activity can only be accomplished with the knowledge of what activities are to be done in the living room. The correctness of the living room design is dependent on this fact.

The traditional decorating ideas and furniture layout for a living room design with a standard shape may not work for a living room with an awkward or unusual shape. Corollary to this, a small living room design will not apply to a very large living room.

The use of smaller scale furniture pieces, the modification of the furniture and the selection of unconventional pieces are features of a small living room design. Alternatively, the use of large and over-sized pieces is a feature of large living room designs.

Small living room design includes the positioning of the pieces so that the room appears uncluttered. The living space must remain easy to navigate in at all times. It must also have areas intentionally created for conversations between homeowners and guests.

The grouping together of sofas and chairs is a must in small living room design. This grouping will ensure that people can talk to one another easily. The arrangement of the room must allow people to walk around the conversation areas and not through them.

Another aspect of small living room design is finding a focal point to the space. A window or fireplace can be architectural features that can act as focal points. A large piece of furniture, an art or wall hanging can be the focal point in living rooms without built-in features.
