Tips to Set Up Fabulous Open Living Room Designs for Dreamy Residences

Designing the constituents of a home starts with space planning. A living room not only brings all the family members together, but facilitates a series of activities like entertainment and meetings. A corner of a spacious living room could very well serve as a valuable little office with communication, internet and printing facilities. Create a welcoming aura for the family and guests with a promise of relaxation and serenity. An aesthetic well designed contemporary living room takes the breath away.

Interior spaces would depend upon the design choice and the cost factor too, that decides many things. If space is congested, a large living room would subtract from the bedrooms and the passages, kitchen and bathrooms. A compromise will have to be worked out all right, with the family deciding upon the priorities. An extensive living room has many advantages, though.

Residences often represent a company or a philosophy that finds expression, perhaps at the entrance, the gate and the interiors too. The entire set up would then work like a huge advertisement and rightly so. Get down to the task of sprucing up the living room with an adequate budget. If renovations have to be made, it is well worth the effort, time and expense. The spirit of the home often depends upon the living room that is common to all and guests too.

Expenses on furniture and carpets, curtains and cushions

Luxuries apart, certain aspects like abundant lighting fixtures, curtains and furniture, cushions and carpets are essential, the more colorful the better, matching or contrasting with walls and floors, according to the planned effect. Adornments like art works and show pieces elevate moods and feelings. Electronics has become compulsory in the present day set up.

A new construction has many advantages

While extensions and refurbishments can be challenging, a new building raises interesting and dynamic possibilities. A palatial living room, perhaps enclosed in glass, with a view that sails across greenery or the blue sea front could be mesmerizing. Not all sitting rooms can achieve such a fairy tale effect, but designs can create wonders that look like masterpieces.

What would be the dominant color scheme? Many people go for the minimalist grays and browns, creams and yellow. Those are fine, but a dramatic effect is achieved by introducing a couple of dark and shining shades of red or blue. The soothing impact with uncluttered expression remains with a streak of lightning like effect. Contemporary themes would work out fine with some lavish marble tiles too on the floor or walls.
