Tips for interior designing of living room

Interior Designing of Living Room

Your home defines you, and the living room serves as a trailer. It a known fact that trailers do carry movie to great heights!

That said, don’t you think your abode should reflect the real you and what you aspire? It should. And it will, where you step in the right direction.

The art of making your home look and feel like one is called interior designing. It is not only limited to aesthetics but also helps conserve space and make homes user-friendly.

Known Interior designer in Pune like Sovereign architects have over a period of time refined certain techniques which have been compiled here (though not all!) and would be of use to you.

• Furniture : The very purpose of the living room is to meet people, sit with them and relax. In this, the role of seating arrangements and furniture can never be understated. Depending upon the person’s stature and resources, the furniture should be adequate, smart and never overdone. Furniture here may mean the usual seating arrangement like sofas, seaters, chairs and accompaniments like stools and side tables. These, to the extent possible should be of durable and comfortable material in line with the weather patterns of the place. In India, one can choose between traditional items like cane chairs to traditional sit-outs of wood to ultra-luxurious leather-lined sofas depending upon one’s needs and choice.

• Decorations: Since this is a seating and meeting area for guests and hosts alike, it goes without saying that decorations are a must. Yesteryears saw these in the form of wall hangings like paintings, portraits, photographs and murals and items kept in strictly appointed places like showcases. These seem to have undergone a sea change what with money and means available in plenty. Now you can have walls themselves being a piece of decoration with painting technology having undergone some serious changes. Innovation is the name of the game. You dream and you get it! Things like Chinese lanterns, Moroccan lanterns, mud lanterns etc are increasingly being used as means of decoration on walls as also corners of the room. Glass urns, and copper and brass vessels classily made are also an interesting addition with things kept in them to add to the beauty. Figurines of brass, silver and even clay are very affordable these days and add to the charm of decorating you space. This is one area completely at the mercy of one’s imaginations!

• Electrical fixtures like ceiling fans and lights are no more functional. These too are means of ornamentation with ceiling fans morphing as light sources! Yes fans with built-in lights like a chandelier! With the advent of LEDs, you can have small lights in the most unthinkable of places adding to the aura. Sources of light are no more supposed to be seen in their naked form; diffused lighting is the latest fad and rightly so. Here, if one is resourceful enough, one’s wishes are certainly someone’s command and that too within reasonable reach and price!

If you still seem confused or unsure, well there are interior designer in Pune (like Sovereign Architects) more than ready to help you. So, Dream, analyze and employ!
