Living rooms form the nucleus of any household. We spend most of our time here. However, this room has a peculiar characteristic. It can be the most personal and most public space of your home.
The living room transforms into a family room, where we relax, chat, watch television, and spend quality time with our family. On the other hand, the lounge room is where we entertain our guests and socialise.
That’s why styling a living room requires attention to detail to enjoy the best of both worlds. Here are a few tips that might come in handy when you decide to redesign your front room.
Know Your Space
No one knows your house better than you. This includes the dimensions of the room, its measurements, and specific details like the placement of doors and windows.
Once you have this sorted out, it will be easy to chalk out a design and plan for refurbishing it. This ensures you don’t make any mistakes while ordering the furniture or accessories, saving valuable time and money. Bring out your inner interior design fashionista and start working your magic.
Style Selection
Different people, different styles! Some like to keep it minimalistic while some prefer to go all out. The minimalists like it clean and simple, opting for neutral colours and sleek furniture.
The modern style comprises futuristic design concepts and smart space-saving furniture with warm accents. Eclectic is a perfect blend of rough and smooth textures with functional furniture. Choose your style and zero in on a theme or colour palette before you go furniture shopping. At Valentines Furniture, we have products to suit your style and budget.
Sofa So Good
In most households, the sofa takes centre stage in the living room. The rest of the furniture is arranged around it. Investing in a good sofa plays a key role in setting the tone for your revamp. You can choose from our premium range of leather or fabric sofas to make your room appealing and inviting.
If you have a classic taste, go for the Chesterfield collection. Their diamond buttoning and quality leather are a luxurious addition to your home. If space is not a constraint, try out our sofa beds. Pick the Morgan Sofa Bed or Dartford for extra comfort. Their classic rolled arms and T-back cushions will leave you cuddling for more.
Pick and Choose
Every house has its charm. Our furniture should add to its aesthetic appeal and not make the room feel cramped. It is essential to pick the right pieces for optimal usage of space. A coffee table is always a valuable addition for its practical purpose.
Standalone pieces like the accent chairs add character and personality to any home décor without taking up much space. Our accent chairs are sourced from quality designers across Australia. From modern pieces to retro styles, beautiful classic items to contemporary designs, one is spoilt for choices.
An armchair or tub chair can be included if you have extra space to spare. Thanks to its supreme comfort, you will find it always occupied.
Define Your Purpose
We buy furniture for various reasons. To give our living room a fresh look, to utilise the space better, to make it kid-friendly or to upgrade. When your purpose is defined, it helps you to make informed decisions. Modular is your go-to option for flexibility and space-saving furniture. Choose our plush sofa with extra padding or recliner to make the elderly feel at home. Avoid furniture with pointy edges when you have kids around.
Accessorise When Necessary
Add-ons like rugs, cushions, wall art and lighting further accentuate the beauty of your interior décor. It should complement your furniture and not be overpowering. Do not miss out on the essentials but also be careful not to go overboard. Prioritise and accessorise!
