The living room is the place where we spend most of our time, therefore this environment should be cozy and as comfortable as possible to feel calm and give us the opportunity to relax. If you are planning the arrangement of the living room and want to use the space as correctly as possible, here are the mistakes that you should not repeat.

Incorrect lighting

Room lighting has a great influence on our daily mood and perception of space. Lighting can make or break an interior, try to avoid lighting that is too bright or too dim. It is good to use table lamps, candles and not limited to ceiling lights. With the correct and even distribution of light, the space will appear much larger and will have a positive effect on your mood.

Storage of items

In the living room, everyone tries to place less things so that the space is not overloaded. Accordingly, they put a closed closet in order to keep the necessary things out of sight and keep them, which, believe me, is a big mistake. A closed wardrobe makes the space smaller and visually heavier, it is better to choose a combined wardrobe, which you will use for storing things, and you can place original and distinctive decor on the open shelves.

Wrong size furniture

A sofa that is lost in a large living room is just as unpleasant as a large table that covers the entire space. In order not to buy inappropriate furniture, be sure to measure the space in the room, or create a small outline to find the best arrangement for things. Do not be afraid to fill the room and experiment.

Similar elements

Visual balance and symmetry are important design elements that you really need to create harmony and peace in the living room. However, having things that have the same color and material creates a kind of boredom, which eventually affects your mood. It is better not to be afraid of different colors and fabrics and to brighten up the interior with their interesting combination.

A small carpet

It is often the case that carpets are not given due attention and they forget that the wrong size carpet can break the symmetry and integrity of the room. In the living room, you should use a large carpet, on which you will place most of the furniture and bring warmth.
