Surprising Tips To Help You Create A Vibrant Living Space

Tuesday, January 06, 2015

Everybody wants to create the perfect living room. Your living space is the heart of your home. It is where you sit with your family and where you entertain guests. That means that your living area should be a bright and vibrant place. If everything in your living room is plain and monochrome, people will find it to be depressing. Instead, take the time to create a space of which anybody could be proud. Here are some surprising tips that might just help you.

Ensure that it is spacious

Before you start, let's talk about space. Your living area needs to be a spacious room. You will struggle to create the right atmosphere in a small room, and so you should ensure that you have enough space before you start. If every room in your home is quite small, you might need to consider moving houses. One way to get loads of space is to build a home for yourself. Look into land clearing in Houston to see what your options are. You will never create the right environment in a tiny space. It just won't work.

Make use of your windows

If there are windows in your living room, you need to make the most of them. Don't hide them away; make them a feature piece of your room so that you get loads of natural light. You should make sure that your windows frames are clean and freshly painted. Give the frames a lick of white paint to spruce them up a little. It is these small details that people notice when they come to your home. In the same respect, you should always make sure that you windows are clean and clear.

Choose understated furniture

There is a temptation to choose over-the-top furniture for your living room. Some people think that they need to have large, garish pieces in their home for it to look elegant. That is not the case. In fact, if you choose these pieces, you will find that they dominate the room and make it look smaller than it is. Instead, choose understated pieces, such as delicate armchairs and stools. Having a massive sofa in the center of your room will only make the room look tiny.

Use warm lighting

Bathrooms and kitchens often need cold, sterile light. When you are cooking, you need to ensure that you can see your ingredients well and that everything is clean. That means that you need harsh lighting. In your living room, though, you need to ensure that the lighting you use is warm. You can achieve a warm lighting effect by using eco-friendly bulbs and warm color shades.

Use deep red and orange undertones

When you are decorating your living space, you need to use one base color. That color should be neutral. Choose a base of white or beige for your room. You can highlight features using vibrant, bold colors, though, and doing so will make your room look incredible. Look for deep red undertone colors, as well as orange ones. Using these colors to pick out particular features in your living space is a great way to make the space feel warm.

Clash wood colors

Many people shy away from using wood in their living room, but they shouldn't. The rich tones of wooden features make the room look exquisite. If you are feeling a little brave, you could even consider clashing your wooden pieces so that you get a medley of textures and colors. Choose some furniture that suits your living space in a wooden design. That way, you can add a touch of sophistication to your living space.
