Furnishing Living Room Spaces
Feb 24th
There are many styles of furnishings to choose from when decorating living spaces. Selection of patterns, colors, functionality, and their proper fit are some things to consider.
Creating Uniqueness
Most living spaces are typically known as; the living room, family room, lounge, sitting room or den. Some choose to furnish their spaces for the sole purpose of catering to others, and some prefer to have their living space completely off limits. Alternative approaches to furnishing your living space can include having a vision or theme, enabling the freedom to express some inner creativity.
Consider renaming your space to something new such as; “the drama room” for a theatre type atmosphere, or “the retreat lounge” if creating a serene and relaxing oasis. If you are planning on hosting a wide selection of events within your living space, the “Jamboree Hub” might be appropriate. Whatever the choice, a new title for your space will help bring your vision to life as you create an environment filled with unique qualities.
Clearing the Clutter
If your current space has you feeling haunted or unimpressed, it may be due to some visual clutter disturbances or serious dust issues. It might even be the spooky inherited furniture carrying negative memories within its tattered floral or checkered patterns. You should feel happy and delighted when entering your living space, so if the room is filled with furnishings that feel wrong or do not seem to fit well with your new theme, these items should be relocated, cleared out, returned, sold, or left on the side of the road for collection. Trusting your instincts will certainly help with the de-cluttering process, as even Grandma’s old sofa could become the next founding inspiration of a glamorous furnishing theme. Some existing furniture may have just the right shape or potential essence that fits well into your theme. If you want to simply change the color or texture of the fabric, consider having the pieces altered or reupholstered.
After you have made your decisions and the clutter is cleared, you can fill your space with fresh items to liven up your living space.
Selecting Furniture
Select well-made durable furniture to create a safer environment and choose appropriate fabrics according to comfort level and stain resistance. Seating area furniture makes good focal points within a living space. The larger pieces and accents such as tables, ottomans or lighting fixtures can be easily added; unless of course you are planning to create a desert theme, needing only rocks for seating areas as you sit around the big palm tree that has become your main focal point.
Selecting appropriate colors and textures of furniture also add life to your theme. Having cool toned and eco-friendly furniture for a natural theme, or bright coloured furniture with slick leathery textures fill the room with drama.
There are many places to find unique and interesting furniture, you may even find that special something after your neighbour has cleared their clutter away, leaving behind some unique pieces that you have been longing for and know just what to do with…
