Most apartments, both in secondary residential buildings and in new buildings, have apartments with rectangular living rooms. The design of a living room with a rectangular configuration has a number of features and nuances that must be taken into account when drawing up the project.

The perception of a rectangular living room directly depends on the color palette that will be used in the room. Correctly selected shades will help not only visually adjust the shape of the room, but will also improve its illumination.

Special attention should be paid to the arrangement of furniture, since its attractiveness and the comfortable stay of guests depend on the layout of the room. You should also take a responsible approach to the placement of sockets, the choice of types of lighting, the location of the air conditioner and a number of other issues.

In a design studio in Moscow, trained professionals are ready to develop a design project.

in the design of a rectangular living room

You should start designing a rectangular living room with visual planning

. To do this, it is necessary, first of all, to draw a rough floor plan and also arrange the furniture. It is important to observe the dimensions, as this will help you look at the arrangement from the outside. In this case, several planning ideas can be considered at once to select the most suitable one.

When choosing a place for a sofa, you should avoid placing it in a draft.

. It is important that the imaginary line stretched from the window to the door does not intersect the furniture. Otherwise, sitting on the sofa will be uncomfortable.

The location of the sofa in the living room

. The images below show possible options for arranging furniture in a rectangular living room.

1. The most optimal option for positioning the sofa is to place it opposite the TV. Guests and apartment owners will be able to sit comfortably on the sofa and watch an interesting program or movie.

2. A good option for those who like to leave overnight guests. The living room allows you not only to have a pleasant time in a friendly company, but also provides additional sleeping space.

3. A corner sofa will fit perfectly into a rectangular living room and visually make it wider. It is better to install it in the far corner of the room to make the room more spacious.

Correct opening of the door in the living room

In or out?

Opening the door in the living room

. The main task of the living room is to distract guests from the front door. To prevent it from attracting unnecessary attention, you can install an invisible door, the design of which does not have platbands. You can also paint it the same color as the walls, and then it will become as invisible as possible.

One of the main issues that designers deal with when drawing up a design project is the direction of the opening door. There are no clear rules here, so you should rely on the layout and how the furniture is arranged in the room. Taking these factors into account will help you avoid a number of mistakes during repairs.

It is important that the door does not obstruct passage and access to the closet or dressing room. Often, designers advise moving the doorway to create a seamless composition of the room, and also change the standard door to a folding one.

1. Not a bad option. When opening, the door does not interfere with free passage both into and out of the room, and also does not block the corridor. The only drawback is that when open, the door blocks access to the dressing room or closet.

2. Not the best example. The door takes up a lot of free space when open, as well as a passage. If it is not possible to change the direction of the sash, it is better to replace it with a sliding door or a folding structure.

3. Bad option. It is especially not recommended to use it in narrow corridors. It is better to install a folding or sliding one instead of a classic one.

4. One of the optimal options for door location. When the door is open, it does not obstruct passage into the room. In addition, fire safety requirements are taken into account.

Dividing a room 3 by 6 meters: two rooms from one

If you are not ready to give part of the kitchen to the living room, you can use a thin plasterboard wall to divide the room in half.

A room measuring 3x6 meters is enough to create a full-fledged small bedroom, where you can place a bed and a couple of bedside tables, and a living room.

As a zoner, you can use a plasterboard partition, which has small shelves for storing things

In a bedroom of such a small size, a wardrobe will take up almost all the free space, so if this room is less than 3x5 meters, it is better to put it in the corridor.

Advantages of dividing one room into two:

• Instead of, for example, a two-room apartment, you will receive a three-room apartment;
• You will have two full-fledged cozy rooms;
• A plasterboard partition can be easily demolished if this apartment layout is inconvenient for you.

Of course, this method also has several disadvantages. Besides the fact that you will have to spend time and money on additional construction work, the bedroom and living room, created from halves of a small room, are miniature in size. To visually expand the space of the bedroom and living room, you can wall off one zone from another, not completely, but partially, by covering the remaining opening with a curtain, which can be moved if necessary.

TV in the living room

size and location

Placing a TV in the living room

. The diagonal size of the TV determines how complete and attractive the interior of a rectangular living room will be. The larger it is, the better the living room will look. If you place a small TV on a long wall, it will seem empty.

Location

. Basically, the TV is installed on the wall opposite the sofa. This placement option is considered the most logical and optimal, as it provides high-quality viewing. It is noteworthy that for the last few years it has not mattered how far the sofa is from the TV. New generation devices can be installed close to a sofa or armchair.

Cabinet or bracket?

Depends on the preferences of the living room owners. In this case, it is important to make the area with the TV look attractive and neat. Additionally, during installation, it is recommended to provide a cable channel where you can hide wires and sockets for connecting various devices. If you do not take care of this point, the wires will stick out, and this will ruin the entire impression of the living room design.

Height from floor

. The optimal height is 1 m, if we consider the distance from the floor to the middle of the TV screen. This solution will make viewing convenient, since the television panel will be at eye level of the person sitting on the sofa.

Diagonal size

. Of course, the higher the indicator, the better, if possible. Models with a diagonal of 50 inches or more will look attractive. If finances do not allow you to purchase a large TV, you can choose a medium or even small size model. The main thing in this case is to choose the right place and design for it.

Film projector as an alternative

. Not a bad option for those who don't like TVs. However, in this case, you should either paint the walls white and make them as smooth as possible, or purchase a special screen. Additionally, you should take care of choosing a place for the projector itself. The device can be fixed or installed on a special stand during a movie screening.

And some more useful tips

There are a number of general rules in the decoration of doors and windows in such rooms.

1. Natural lighting hides the disproportion of an elongated room and makes it visually larger.
2. Hang sheer curtains to the edge of the window or light blinds instead of heavy drapes. Roman blinds will also look great.
3. Thick horizontal bars will visually make the window, and with it the walls, wider, so try to choose frames with wide horizontal bars and narrow vertical bars.
4. The entrance opening in a narrow wall can be made in the form of an eye-catching arch.
5. If the door is located in a wide wall, try to widen it as much as possible so that the wall appears narrower.
6. Install sliding interior doors, they will save space and decorate the interior much better than traditional hinged designs.

Just don’t try to divide the room into parts with a bulky closet or a blank partition from floor to ceiling - in this case, one of the areas will be completely deprived of natural light.

Better consider effective options.

Built-ins offer a variety of options.

By applying these simple rules and imagination, you can turn an uncomfortable, narrow, elongated room into an original and very functional room that will give you a lot of comfort and coziness, and will surprise your guests much more than the appearance of a banal perfect square.

A narrow, elongated room is not at all uncommon in our homes.

In addition, such rooms often have one window, so the lighting of such a space suffers.

A built-in design that leaves no passages between the sleeping area and the wall at all may be successful.

Furniture in the living room

Furniture in the living room

. In the photo, the rectangular-shaped living room is made in soft colors and neoclassical style. An armchair in a bright blue shade acts as a bright accent.

• Armchair.
  Usually the chair acts as an accent. Designers choose a special shade or shape for it to distinguish the chair from other pieces of furniture. The selection of a suitable chair should be carried out depending on the habits of the owners of the living room. So, for example, if the customer likes to climb into a chair with his legs up and read books, then he should give preference to large-sized furniture.
• TV stand.
  If large TV stands used to be popular, today designers are replacing them with small stands, as well as console-type tables. This is explained by the fact that now they do not need to place a player or discs with cassettes. Today, cabinets are used to store various magazines or decorative items.
• Coffee table.
  An important item for a cozy interior. It is worth noting that today they produce tables that can be transformed into large-sized tables for entertaining guests. However, you will have to try to find a suitable copy. It is customary to place magazines, notebooks or dishes on such tables when it comes to receiving guests.
• Side tables.
  In a rectangular living room, you can find room for a side table if you can't use a full-size coffee table. Today, manufacturers produce a large number of original models that can act as an accent in the living room.
• Rack.
  A useful type of furniture in which you can store not only decorative items, but also books or dishes. In this case, the rack can act as a partition to separate the kitchen and dining areas. Great for one or two bedroom apartments.
• Additional storage cabinet.
  This type of furniture can be installed in two-room or three-room apartments, if the ceilings allow. In this case, the sofa is placed in the center of the room, and the wardrobe is placed along one of the walls. The closet usually houses bed linen, dishes, books and other items.
• Fireplace.
  We are talking about electric models, and not those in which you need to light the fire yourself. At the same time, in some models, manufacturers provide a heated air humidification function, so such devices can be beneficial. Fireplace portals are made in different styles, so choosing a suitable option that will match the chosen interior design of the living room is not difficult. Special attention should be paid to the size of the fireplace. An incorrectly selected height can ruin the overall impression of the apartment design.

Kitchen + living room

Recently, more and more often, designers have resorted to combining the kitchen and living area, separating them with small partitions. As a result, two rooms become one, but of a larger area. This solution has a number of advantages that are worth considering in more detail.

Kitchen-living room design

. The photo shows an excellent design project with a combined kitchen and living room. It is worth noting that the interior of the apartment includes several bright accents. These are chairs, pillows, lamps.

Combining the kitchen with the living room has several advantages. The main thing is to increase the amount of light entering the room. By removing the partition, it is possible to create two windows, which makes the space feel fresher and more breathable. This solution eliminates the need to install a huge number of lamps, which significantly saves energy costs.

The second advantage is the possibility of organizing a full-fledged dining area. When choosing a table in this case, it is recommended to give preference to models that can accommodate 5 or more people. Each person should have at least 70 cm of table space.

The third plus is the variety of living room design options. Increasing the area makes it possible to implement design projects that are not suitable for small rooms. In addition, it becomes possible to use additional furniture or decorative items.

The main nuances of combining a room that you need to know before starting work

Having enough space available that you can operate at your pleasure, the design of the kitchen and dining room in a private house, combined with the living room, can be absolutely anything. Space limitations force us to look for more compact solutions. To do this, they combine zones, make them multifunctional, choose transformable structures, etc.

Therefore, it is worth first assessing the available space, calculating all the necessary nuances, and only then proceeding with implementation.

1. The work area should be ergonomic - so that all the necessary devices and points are at hand. As a rule, an area of ​​about 7 square meters is sufficient for this purpose.
2. The dining room in the house may be located in close proximity to the kitchen block, but will be visually separated from it. This can be a modest table for 2-4 people, as well as a luxurious dining group for a large family. Accordingly, such a zone can occupy a different area.
3. The living room is usually chosen to be quite spacious - for comfort, family relaxation or receiving guests. Therefore, in a combined room it usually occupies a larger area.
4. When calculating the area and placement of blocks, it is also worth taking into account the need for free passages between them.

When thinking over the design for the entire area, it is worth taking into account the presence of a staircase, the space under it, a terrace and other adjacent areas. If they are visible from the living room, kitchen or dining room, it is worth decorating this entire volume in the same style.

To ensure comfort in a combined room, you will need a high-quality hood. Without it, odors and condensation will be absorbed and hang in the air in the guest area. The installation of such a hood will require the organization of highly efficient ventilation ducts. Of course, you can hide them, or you can leave them, for example, in a loft style. It is worth thinking through such details in advance, since a number of engineering and technical solutions are easier to implement before finishing the surfaces.

Bedroom + living room

This option is suitable for one-room or two-room apartments, so it is considered not as common as the first. For a large family, such an organization of living space will not be suitable, since family members will feel uncomfortable in such a room.

Young families of two people, as well as those who are used to living alone, resort to combining a bedroom with a living room. This option will also allow you to increase the amount of light entering the room, making it more spacious and functional.

In this case, they prefer to separate both zones with a shelving unit. It will help preserve natural light and provide space for storing various small items.

Living room + office

In many apartments it is not possible to allocate a separate room for an office. However, if necessary, you can organize a workspace in a rectangular living room. Depending on the frequency of use of such a corner, the size and position of the desktop are selected.

Living room design

. In the project shown in the image, the desktop and shelves are almost invisible due to the fact that they are made in the same color scheme as the wall. The chair, on the contrary, acts as a bright accent of the room.

Experienced designers of our studio highlight the three most optimal options for placing a computer desk in a rectangular living room.

1. Table at the end of the room. This option is suitable for those who rarely work at home and are not used to spending a lot of time at a computer desk. With this placement, the table is made invisible by choosing the same shade as the walls.

2. Table by the window. Suitable for those who like to work at home. The advantage of the table is that it allows you to use the window sill area. In addition, you can extend the table to each wall, which will further increase your work space.

3. Table in the closet. A good option for those who like to save space in the living room. In addition, this arrangement eliminates the need to tidy up the table when guests arrive. You can simply hide it in a closet.

The professional design of the living room with an area of ​​18 m2, the thoughtfulness of the furnishings of every square meter allow you to turn even a small apartment into a cozy home.

Air conditioner

in a rectangular living room

Many customers, when ordering a project, ask to take into account the installation of an air conditioner in the living room. Designers approach this problem responsibly, since incorrect placement of a block can lead to dire consequences.

The main rule to consider when installing an air conditioner in the living room is to ensure that the cooled air does not blow on people sitting at the table or on the sofa. If you do not take this prohibition into account, it will be uncomfortable to be in the room.

In addition, it is worth considering the location of the indoor unit. If the installation is carried out far from the window, then it will be necessary to damage the wall to lay utilities.

Air conditioner indoor unit

is considered not the most attractive detail in interior design. Therefore, specialists often try to disguise it so that it does not draw attention to itself.

There are three common options for placing an air conditioner.

1. The most optimal placement option is above the door. The block does not attract attention. However, in this case, the possibility of installation depends on the height of the doorway and ceilings in the apartment.

2. A location near a window is also considered a good option. It is especially suitable for those who are financially limited and cannot afford to drill walls for communications.

3. This is not a good option, since the flow of cold air will flow onto those sitting on the sofa. Such placement will lead to frequent illness and reluctance to be in the living room. It's unlikely that anyone needs this.

Zoning

Obviously, a room that performs two functions - cooking and eating - should be divided into zones. There are several techniques for this.

• Bar counter. It looks organic, can be used for its intended purpose or replace a table, but it takes up a lot of space and is not suitable for children and the elderly.

• Lighting. If you hang a low lamp above the dining area and choose spotlights for the workplace, two separate spaces will be clearly visible.

• You can divide the space using color and wall design. Contrasting finishes, different materials and textures provide real scope for creativity.

• You can also zone the space using a separate low cabinet.

Decorating a kitchen is quite an interesting activity if you approach it correctly. The main thing is to decide what you would like to see in the end and tune in to the creative wave. A couple of visits to a hardware store, sharing experiences with familiar new residents - and brilliant ideas will not keep you waiting.

Sockets

rectangle shape in the living room

When performing visual planning for a rectangular living room, you should also draw up a plan for outlets, where you need to take into account their location. The maximum number of sockets for a given room should not exceed 15 pieces. This is quite enough to connect basic electrical devices, as well as to additionally provide electricity to temporary equipment.

When choosing the location of outlets, you should pay attention to where the TV or projects will be located. Additionally, it is recommended to provide for the laying of cables and ducts in which the wires will be hidden.

Lighting

in a rectangular living room

Another important issue that should be resolved responsibly. The type of lighting determines the coziness and comfortable stay in the living room. The most important rule: there should be a lot of light, and it should be different. However, this does not mean that you need to hang as many lamps around the room as possible. If there are too many of them, it will negatively affect the interior design.

Living room lighting

. The image shows a living room decorated in a modern loft style, a prominent example of which is a brick wall. It was possible to emphasize the advantages of the style with the help of minimalist lamps.

Lamps

- one of the main parts of the decor, so it is important that they are combined with the chosen style of the room. Today, many people use lamps of different shapes and sizes, while adhering to the same style. This solution allows you to create an unusual, but at the same time cozy design.

overhead light

- key type of living room lighting. It includes working light created by spotlights and a chandelier. It is worth noting that the latter can act not only as a lighting device, but also as a decorative item.

Toward the local light

include various medium-sized lamps, floor lamps and sconces. However, the latter are more suitable for decorating bedrooms, so they are rarely used in living rooms. Mostly designers prefer to install lamps.

Intimate light

presented with candles and garlands. Interior garlands differ from holiday ones in that they burn with an even light. Usually it is warm white or cool blue. This type of lighting can be used as a night light if one of the guests prefers to sleep with light.

Candles

. When choosing candles, preference should be given to multi-sized, but single-color products of large sizes. The best option would be white thick candles. They are not used very often; they are mainly purchased as decorative elements.

Zoning

. Lamps can be used to zone space. This is especially true if the combination of two premises is planned. For example, you can place an installation of lamps above the dining table, thus designating a place for eating. Special attention should be paid to the work area. In this case, you should definitely provide a lamp in the space above the table to make it comfortable to work. If during the daytime there is enough light from the window, then at night the workplace should be illuminated by an additional light source.

Layout and zoning on 18 square meters

Traditionally, zoning of the hall is not required if all 18 square meters. m. are dedicated specifically to the guest area. In this case, there is a regular set of furniture - a sofa, a TV, perhaps cabinets or cabinets for storing personal belongings, books, CDs. If there is not enough space in the remaining rooms of the apartment, then the living room can have wardrobes for clothes, built-in compartments, and chests of drawers. But still, quite often in the living room of an ordinary apartment it is necessary to equip both a bedroom and a dining room.

The layout of the hall can include different areas, and this is not necessarily a dining room: the living room can have a playroom for kids, a place for communication, for tea drinking or privacy.

When carrying out renovations in an apartment, you should take these features into account and select the minimum cost tools:

• When implementing an interior in a modern style, you can choose a clear graphic design of the hall, in which the division of zones does not require bulky or voluminous solutions . Here it is enough to choose different shades for each zone, and they can lie in the same range - gray or steel, beige, light blue and dark blue, light green and green.
• For living rooms with sleeping places, you can arrange a modern design with podiums and multi-level structures - for games, relaxation, reading, watching TV . Under the elevations you can “hide” a pull-out bed, storage space for toys and other accessories. If the height of the room is not enough for elevations, then you will have to use standard solutions - openwork or glass partitions for part of the opening, visual tint differences in decoration, etc.

• For a one-room apartment, the hall design can be implemented with niches, podiums and multi-level ceilings . Here you can make interesting use of both the bedroom and the nursery - you can hide the parent’s bed in a raised area, and on the podium you can arrange a playroom and sleeping area for a baby or even several children. If initially there are no niches for such a solution, they can be built specially. Although they “steal” space, it will be possible to implement several functional zones at once on a few square meters.

When it is not possible to demolish walls in a panel house, the living room will have to be planned in a limited space. In many ways, the design of the hall in an 18 sq. m. m. depends on the geometry of the room and the features of the building: in a square room it is easier to arrange a regular spacious living room with a small corner for privacy and relaxation, but in a long narrow living room, for example, 6 by 3 m. there is room for both a new niche and a separate zones - an office, a place to study or play.

Modern style in the living room

Modern style has many advantages, which is why it is popular among interior designers. It is interesting and looks great even in small spaces. The distinctive features of modern style are simplicity and functionality.

Almost any room can be decorated in a modern style, and the living room is no exception. Many design projects are made in this style, and customers are satisfied with the results. The simplicity of modern style allows you to get rid of unnecessary burden on the room and at the same time achieve completeness of the composition.

Modern living room design

. Modern style often uses geometric lines and patterns. You can see this in the image.

Signs of style

. Modern style loves simplicity, so popular shades are white, black, beige and gray. Also, bright accents are used in the interior to make it more attractive and rich. Decorating rooms in a modern style allows you to use posters or paintings as bright accents.

Design options

Building a country house is always an act of art. You choose the layout and size of the premises yourself. Therefore, different cottages are never alike.

The ideal shape of a living room is square; it is convenient to zone the space inside such a room.

It is important that the living room has enough windows for good natural light

Design specialists have selected especially for you a list of ways to interestingly decorate living rooms:

1. Spacious and bright. During construction, the hall is located in a corner room, so it is possible to install several window openings on different sides. A large amount of light has a beneficial effect on the atmosphere.
2. Mirror ceiling. When a house is built on two floors, there is always a staircase. She goes into the living room. To create an interesting high ceiling effect, it is finished with reflective glossy panels. This creates the impression of a transparent floor on the second floor.
3. Combination of living room and kitchen. This results in a large area where you can comfortably spend time. The kitchen area is fenced off from the guest area by organizing arches with columns.
4. Fireplace as the main element. The entire interior arrangement is played out around the fireplace, next to which neat logs are harmoniously laid out.
5. No ceiling. If the house is two-story, the hall is made with high ceilings, that is, there is no second floor above such a room. At the same time, there will be a staircase in the living room, from which, when ascending, a beautiful view of the lower guest room opens.
6. Terrace. The combined location of the hall and the terrace looks very beautiful. If there is a kitchen nearby, then this composition will surprise you with its functionality.

Modern living room in a two-story house

It is very convenient when the living room has direct access to the terrace or garden

By combining several rooms, unique layouts are achieved. It is very convenient to cook in the kitchen in the summer and immediately relax near the spreading branches of trees planted next to the terrace.

The lighting of the guest room has a decisive effect on the design of the living room in a private home. If there is enough natural light, interior elements are finished in dark tones. For example, the flooring is laid from a textured black laminate.

In a country house, the use of natural materials for decoration is encouraged

Modern, light interior design styles are ideal for the living room interior of a private home. “High-tech”, “Loft”, “Minimalism”, especially the “Scandinavian” type of room design will add freshness, brightness, and fierce luster to the place of rest. Smooth, calm surfaces will not distract from reading books, and will also allow you to relax and unwind on your own.

In the living room, designer decorative items that attract attention are appropriate

Soft pillows in bright colors will dilute a monochromatic interior

Decorating a room with dark colors is also possible. But then it is necessary to install large, spacious windows that occupy the entire wall. A dense stream of sunlight will dilute the black tones of the elements of the interior decoration of the hall. Bright accents are appropriate. A rich color is selected. Bright green and others will be a good idea to make your dreams come true.

Neoclassical style in the living room

A style that is popular with our customers. Neoclassicism is one of the varieties of modern style, the difference of which is the presence of intricate lamps and moldings on the walls.

Signs of style

. This style combines the features of two styles. From the classics, he took symmetry in the arrangement of furniture and accessories, as well as complex furniture facades. From the modern style he inherited simple geometric shapes and functionality. At the same time, this combination does not repel, on the contrary, it attracts attention.

5 by 5 room layout options

In apartments, the layout of a 5 by 5 room may include:

• balcony;
• bay window;
• a niche in the wall;
• several windows on both walls;
• several doors.

It is recommended to take these features into account when creating interior design. For example, use a bay window as a seating area, and a niche as a bed or closet. If the windows are located on both walls, then instead of curtains it is preferable to use Roman blinds, which will not interfere with the arrangement of furniture.

A bay window in the bedroom is a suitable place for a relaxation corner or workplace

Additional planning elements make the room more interesting in terms of design and give new ideas for interior design.

Beige color in rectangular living room design

When decorating rectangular living rooms, designers often use beige colors. There are many examples of original design projects made in a similar color scheme. At the same time, beige is actively used in various styles. It can be found in rooms designed in modern style, as well as in classical styles.

Beige visually expands the space

. The pleasant feature of this shade makes it popular in one-room and two-room apartments. Beige is rarely used in three-ruble apartments, since in such apartments there is no need to expand anything. The correct use of beige shades can visually expand the room, and as a result, from a rectangular living room you will be able to get a square, wide room.

Compatibility

. Beige looks great in combination with almost any shade, regardless of whether they belong to a cold or warm color scheme. Thus, this opens up wide scope for the imagination of designers, allowing you to create several design options for the guest room.

Create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort

. Beige is a warm color. Therefore, it will help make the living room cozy, able to lift your spirits and help you relax after a hard day.

Beige color in the living room

. Beige is mainly used when decorating rooms in a classic style. However, cool shades can be used in modern interiors. This design makes the room more laconic and at the same time comfortable to stay. Beige has a beneficial effect on the psyche, calming and setting you in a positive mood.

It is not advisable to use black shades in living room design, as the room can become gloomy and inhospitable. Excessive consumption of white will also not lead to anything good. Rooms decorated exclusively in white or black shades become unattractive.

It is recommended to dilute the decoration of the room with bright colors, placing emphasis on them. However, you should use no more than 3 basic shades.

Living room interior 3x3: finishing

A 3x3 living room may seem very small and cramped, but with the help of correctly placed accents, you will be able to expand it. To do this, you need to approach the issue of decorating the room wisely, choose the right colors and lighting for it. Since the room we are talking about now has the correct square shape, we do not have to visually compress or stretch it, we only need to maximize the free space.

For a small living room, designers recommend choosing light wallpaper for the walls to visually expand the space

What techniques can be used to visually increase space:

1. If you want to expand the space, it is important to use predominantly light shades in wall decoration. This does not mean that you have to choose only white solid materials for your room; you can use any colors in a soft bed tone, for example, beige or light yellow is perfect. Walls decorated with wallpaper in a small, not very bright print will also look great.
2. The floor in such a living room should also not be too dark. A small rug laid on laminate or parquet will add coziness to the room. It can have absolutely any color that matches your interior.
3. The ceiling in rooms of this size should be light, even and smooth. Do not use multi-tiered plasterboard structures and do not combine a suspended ceiling with a suspended ceiling - in miniature rooms, such ceiling design options greatly conceal the space. A suspended mirror ceiling is best suited; it will stretch the living room upward and visually add several square meters.

When choosing lighting fixtures, pay attention to small spotlights or one small and laconic chandelier. Massive chandeliers are more suitable for large and spacious rooms.

A full-wall mirror will not only become an unusual, fashionable and modern accent, but will also greatly visually increase the size of the room.

Whatever color the walls, floors and ceilings you make, remember that they should expand, not compress, the space.

Most houses have a standard layout. The large room, which serves as a living room, is 6 m long and 3 m wide. The 6x3 living room design is becoming very relevant for owners who want to give the room an interesting look.

One of the indispensable attributes of a living room in an apartment is, of course, a large sofa.

Since the room is elongated, there will be French windows to the floor - more light will penetrate through them.

The doorway in the center will not be a hindrance at all if it is widened.
