Photos of living room interiors in the apartment
The city apartments of the old building did not differ by a large area, but there was a room in them, which the owners called a hall with a certain note of pride in their voice. Usually this room was more than others. Now the hall is called the more appropriate word - living room. But the essence is not in the name, but in the approach to the improvement of this room. The decor of the living room should be special, conducive to relaxation and pleasant conversations over a cup of coffee while relaxing. Therefore, we face a crucial task - how, adhering to the overall design, make the interior of a living room in a city apartment so that it fits the intended purpose and pleases the eye.
Furniture in the living room interior
Obviously, the design of the living room and what kind of furniture will be installed there depends not only on the chosen style, but also on the dimensions of the room.
To design the decor of a small living room should be approached given that each square centimeter of available space should be used rationally. For example, indoors, in addition to frame furniture, it can also be frameless, which can easily be moved to the side when the need arises. A convenient addition can serve as a folding table.
If cabinet furniture will be installed in the living room, its appearance should help to create a feeling of lightness. It is clear that the wardrobe will not only add charm, but on the contrary - will make the atmosphere more oppressive. It is better if it is a modern, not too large wall, the shelves of which are not filled up with various objects or souvenirs.
When there are no restrictions, it will be more convenient to use fixed furniture in the large living room.
Often in the apartments redevelopment is performed, as a result of which the living room becomes even larger. In this case, it is not necessary to cut out every centimeter, but still the living room furniture should not create a depressing atmosphere in the room. Everything should speak about the good taste of the owners.
Curtain Design
Properly and tastefully selected curtains for the living room can significantly transform the room, emphasizing the design created. By choosing the wrong shape, color (or shade), you can get a result that is not expected. Since good curtains are expensive, and the possibility of selection on the spot will not be necessary to pre-determine the choice.
We will not impose our view, but in most cases the curtains are in harmony with upholstered furniture or some other part of the room. It is not bad to apply a purely feminine approach to selection. How to do it? It is best to ask for help from your second half. If this fails to be done, then you have to connect the imagination. Imagine a woman choosing a handbag. It is hard to follow the train of thought, but you can definitely say that it represents how this handbag will look with her new dress, what shoes you will have to wear, whether there is lipstick in this color, and you probably will need to buy nail polish of the same color ...
Choosing curtains, imagine them in the design of the room, how they will look with furniture, walls, or you have to redo something for them in the living room.
What wallpaper to choose
Choosing the right wallpaper for the living room is not as difficult as it may seem. The principle of selection is the same as in the case of curtains - a combination, harmony and support for the intended style.
It is important to take into account that very dark shades of any color will look spectacular only in a room in which a large amount of sunlight gets. If this is not the case, then even during the day you will have to use artificial lighting.
Bright velor wallpapers are more versatile and blend beautifully with other colors.
In the living room you can also combine different wallpapers. Most often used wallpaper of the same color but different shades. Sometimes you can see a contrasting combination of alternating stripes on the wall of different colors of this roll material.
Tastefully selected wallpapers can advantageously emphasize the design of the living room, combining objects and furniture of different, disparate colors. The use of photo wallpapers does not always lead to the desired result, but sometimes you just can't do without them.
Interior living room with fireplace
In the conditions of an apartment, you cannot make a real fireplace, but it is quite realistic to install a model. It should be borne in mind that the fireplaces in the interior of the living room will be relevant only if the area of the room allows you to add this element. Of course, you can install a fireplace in a small room, but will it look there, and will it be possible to achieve the goal? Wouldn't the living room look like a steam room? Experts do not recommend introducing this design element in rooms with an area of less than 20 m.2.
Here is an example of a small living room with a fireplace. Perhaps, while there was no furniture in the room, the fireplace played a key role, but now it is almost imperceptible.
This living room is also not too big, but the correct approach to its design made the fireplace an important design element of this room.
Many apartment owners are primarily concerned with the appearance of the manufactured item. As you can see, the fireplace turned out beautiful and solid, and the wood used as decor.
With the help of a built-in electric fire, you can achieve the effect that a real flame is burning in the hearth.
Design of living rooms of various sizes
Each person has their own preferences and favorite colors, so the design of two absolutely identical rooms located on different floors of the same house will differ significantly. However, there are some factors to consider.
Little living room
On how the small room will be framed, its perception depends. Of course, each person wants the room to resemble not a pantry, but a voluminous living room. There are several design techniques for this:
- In the design you need to use only light colors.
- Give advantage to the wallpaper with a fine print. If the ceiling is low, then fit wallpaper with a vertical pattern. "Extend" the room can be photo murals with landscape image.
- Furniture should not be bulky or very voluminous.
- Low ceiling trim can be done with mirrors.
- Lamps can be located not on the ceiling, but on the walls.
- Accessories should not be variegated or very large.
Large living room
There is plenty of space in the large living room, so there should not be the impression of being unfilled or oversaturated with furniture or decor. If you like the classic style, then in this case it is best suited.

Design of living room combined with kitchen
Combining the living room and kitchen, the owner of the apartment has some advantages, but we should not forget about the shortcomings that need to be taken into account when creating the planned interior.
- Smells. Food is often prepared in the kitchen, so a powerful hood must be installed, which in its dimensions may not fit into the planned environment.
- Zoning Since 2 rooms are combined, each of which had its own purpose, now they need to be divided into zones. Most often this is done not with the help of lightweight partitions, but due to design techniques. Therefore, you need to think about how the part of the room, which was once a kitchen, and the living room will be decorated. They should be slightly different, but be in harmony. For example, fireplaces in the interior of the living room can advantageously allocate this room.
