Interior of a small living room: how to make it simple and inexpensive
Small living rooms are a layout option for most panel high-rise buildings. But this does not mean that the interior, as in Soviet times, will be standard. Even in the smallest room you can organize style, order and comfort. Design Tips:
- In a small living room, use white as the main color for the walls and ceiling, then the small room will become visually more spacious. Pearl and beige shades are also allowed.
- When finishing floors, choose natural wood in a light color. Thin long slats on a white cornice will help to visually expand the boundaries of the room.
- When decorating, it is not recommended to use chandeliers with large lampshades. Floor lamps will help illuminate the seating area, sofa and coffee table. Instead of chandeliers, it is recommended to decorate the room with glass lampshades with LED spotlights. They will help concentrate the light at the desired point.
- If the living room area is less than 15 square meters, then dark colors, wallpaper with large prints, thick curtains and oversized furniture are unacceptable in the decoration. All this visually overloads the interior, making the living room uncomfortable. Instead of the usual cabinets, you should pay attention to small shelves and racks.
- Ditch the traditional rug in favor of a mirror placed opposite the window. It will not only catch the light, but also fill the empty space. If desired, you can install an open shelf along it, where potted flowers or family photographs will look beautiful.

The color of a small living room plays a decisive role: whether the room will be cozy and spacious or gloomy and inconsistent. To achieve harmony, designers advise adhering to the following rules:
- All colors should be in harmony with each other. Therefore, it is recommended to use tones that are considered universal. Light shades are used as a base, diluted with other colors.
- When using the color wheel, keep in mind: the primary and secondary colors should be presented in proportions of 60:30, and only 10% should be allocated to the secondary color. For example, black, which will be expressed only in details: table legs, door handles and cabinet fittings.
- It is not recommended to use more than three colors. It is necessary to choose the main one, which will be the most in the interior, and dilute it with the remaining shades. It is considered correct to comply with the following standards: 75% - the main tone, 25% - additional, 5% - the brightest color from the palette.

When decorating the walls, decorative panels are used that imitate natural stone or brick. If you prefer wallpaper, it is better to choose plain ones. Gray and white are considered the best colors in this style. It is important that there are no drawings, patterns or prints. Mirror panels can be used as additional decoration.

Advantages of a one-story country house
If you need an economical option for a garden house, it is difficult to make a better choice. Low price and high speed of construction are advantages that “lie on the surface.” In addition, a small country house has other advantages over buildings with a large number of floors:
- the absence of stairs will please older people;
- there is no need to arrange complex drains from the roof;
- simple internal plumbing and heating system;
- Due to fewer windows and doors, there is less heat loss.
By making this choice, you can buy a cheap house near Moscow. A small amount of building materials and no need to use special equipment significantly reduces the cost of construction.
Loft

This style is famous for large windows, rough lines, minimal decoration, eclectic furniture and large quantities of metal parts. If you want to make a living room in a loft style, then take into account the following recommendations:
- The layout should be open with a minimum number of partitions.
- Non-standard street style decoration options can be used. Graffiti, posters, abstractions or road signs will all be appropriate.
Another feature is that the floors in the room cannot be finished; bare concrete is the most acceptable option. But of course it is not suitable for living space. Therefore, parquet or floorboards are used as covering. The wood must be varnished. The walls traditionally remain in their original form. Brick, concrete surface, tiles - all this does not matter. An alternative could be wallpaper with an imitation of such a coating. The ceiling is traditionally white. The best materials for ceiling coverings are raw concrete, metal, wood.
Functionality is the main priority of an economy class country house
If you decide to design a house from the economy class category, you should remember that the cost of construction depends primarily on the degree of its complexity, and not on its size. Houses with simple shapes, with few architectural details, are certainly less expensive.
Such residential buildings are characterized by a comfortable and functional layout of the rooms, that is, an interior that is most suitable for living. The box is often rectangular or square in shape, with a gable roof with windows that effectively replace attic openings. Most often these are house designs with an attic, because in this way heat loss through the roof is limited.
Another distinctive feature of home design in this category is the trend of replacing balconies with French windows. They allow you to make the interior much lighter than standard windows, giving the building lightness and elegance.
Decor and lighting
