Everyone wishes to own a beautiful and attractive living room that features a state of the art music system, is properly furnished and has a good décor. The living room is not only the focal point of the house but also a place to showcase creativity. Therefore, how shall a contemporary living room look like?
Let color set the mood
Colors create a mixture of feelings in the living room. The living room can feel relaxed or energized depending on the colors chosen. For a contemporary living room, one can choose a cream white or light blue as this makes the space feel calm. For a gracious feel, a tan carpet will do.
Walls and ceilings
Great attention should be directed to the walls. Wall coverings that express personality should be keenly selected. A contemporary living room should feel warm and welcoming. As such textured wallpapers with a feeling of antiquity should be selected.
Flooring
Comfortable stylish flooring will add to the quality of the living room. A good flooring covering allows one to choose from a variety of floral designs to decorate the room. A neutral floor focuses attention on furniture. If one is not a fan of rugs, stone or ceramic tiles come in handy.
Have a focal point
A vibrant contemporary living room needs an area to focus attention. One can either have a beautiful painting or piece of art or can choose to have a cool fire place. It’s possible to have more than one focal point but be sure they do not compete.
Lighting
For a comfortable, relaxing mood, lighting plays a key role. For a good light distribution, position the light sources in a triangular manner. Time is spent sitting in the living room hence lamps that focus the light downward encourages this.
Dressing the windows
For elegance, floor to ceiling draperies will be very helpful. A proper combination and utilization of relaxed shades create a feeling of comfort and privacy.
Media center
A contemporary living room is not complete without a television set. Make it blend well with other pieces of art in the room. It can as well be accommodated on the bookcase.Check out these contemporary living room designs by Aliki Kaklamanou.
