Whether you call it a living room, an entertainment room or a sitting room, this ubiquitous space is most likely the first thing you see when you enter your home. As such, it needs to look good while still meeting its everyday functions. After all, you sit, rest, idle and entertain in this room. Here are a few ideas (and some handy tips) for your very own functional living room.
Get The Right Fit
Choose furniture that complements your living room space. Trying to fit too many furniture pieces in a single space results in unsightly cluttering, even for large living rooms. Decorating your living room should begin with choosing a sofa of the right size and style, as the sofa is usually the focal point of the living area, also tends to takes up the most space.
Sofa So Good
A favourite among homeowners is no doubt the sectional, L-shaped sofa, for its ability to fit more people, making it perfect for large families. However, for living areas with limited space, you may want to consider getting one or two love seat sofas instead. Smaller than the traditional sofa, love seat sofas comfortably sit two people, making them ideal for smaller families and couples. Face two love seat sofas together and a cosy, conversation area is created.
