Each apartment has its own atmosphere, its own personality and its own style. First of all, this applies to rooms where the whole family often gathers and where guests are received. Since the living room is rightfully considered to be the “heart” of an apartment, therefore the design of this room must be approached with all responsibility. This article will talk about how to decorate a living room in an apartment.
Family leisure or relaxation with friends can be spent in a room of any size, although not all of them have spacious rooms correct form. Available small space with the help of thoughtful design, you can change it so much that the disadvantages of such a room will turn into advantages.
Choosing a style for decorating a living room
Before starting the decorating process, it is important to determine what kind of look you want your living room to have. Any style can be embodied in its interior, but you need to proceed from the dimensions of the room and its location in the apartment. Our time has special fashion trends, so it’s worth considering how to decorate your living room in a modern way.
In the improvement of a small living room it is possible different variations. If expansion of space is required, then the room must be filled with light shades and use a minimum of furniture. In this case, it is possible to use a high-tech or minimalist style, or, if you wish, you can create a box room with antique furniture and things, heavy curtains and other attributes characteristic of the classical style.
You may also be interested in the design of a small living room, made in the loft style, which creates a bright space that is not overloaded with furniture. The expansion of space is achieved through a minimum of finishing and the use of simple furniture suitable for the given room.
The loft style requires the exclusion of everything unnecessary - furniture and decorative elements. This kind of urbanism will be appreciated by modern young people, for whom space and the absence of restrictions in everything, even in the interior, are above all else.
Retro style is characterized by a combination of the most unpredictable shades: pink and black, green and yellow, red and orange. These color schemes are also used in finishing materials, accessories, and furniture upholstery.
This style is characterized by very good lighting, which can be achieved using lamps with fringes or lampshades, lamps on cords, and floor lamps in the style of the 70s.
To emphasize more retro style, it would be nice to add antique objects to the interior of the living room - a gramophone, old black and white photographs depicting city landscapes, a rocking chair, a record player.
Art Nouveau design requires a lot of free space, but excludes strict straight lines.
Basic color solutions Art Nouveau – light shades combined with gold, yellow, brown and red. The materials always include glass and wood. Lambrequins and curtain tiebacks will look beautiful on the windows.
The main criteria of the Art Nouveau style are naturalness, simplicity and comfort.
Design small room can be done in African or other ethnic style. Minimalism is ideal for a spacious living room that is not overloaded with frills, and therefore such a room will look airy and light. The classic style can be used in the design of a narrow living room, also combined with a kitchen or dining room. The design of a living room in the Japanese style with its inherent asceticism and impersonality is interesting.
In the current interpretation, podiums can be seating areas on the floor, while coffee table can be used as a low Japanese table, and hieroglyphs will decorate pieces of furniture and accessories.
The use of purely traditional things will allow you to feel the atmosphere of the Japanese mood.
In private households and in apartments with large living rooms, eco style has found wide use, combining indoor space and nature.
The layout of most modern apartments often does not allow creating such an interior, and cottages with spacious rooms and big amount windows are a suitable option for implementing eco style.
The living rooms in such houses are located on the ground floor, and through glass sliding doors you can go straight into the garden, which creates many ideas for eco-design. We use only natural, environmentally friendly materials in our work - stone, wood, cork, rattan, wicker, natural fabrics, which helps to feel the natural atmosphere. Decorate the living room large sizes you can do it in the spirit of the classics with all the luxury and pomp characteristic of this style.
Classicism is distinguished by the presence of stucco molding, columns, mirrors framed by wood and carvings, forged furniture, heavy expensive curtains and, of course, a fireplace.
The only thing that is unacceptable for the classic style is cheap fakes. It is the living room in a classic style that will suitable room for collectors. In such a room you can place paintings, sculptures, old toys and other rare and antique items. They can be hung, placed on special podiums or in wall niches. Thus, you can create your own private gallery in the apartment.
If the room will be used for outdoor activities, parties and other entertainment, it can be decorated in a minimalist style.
As you can see, there are many ideas for living room design. The main goal is not the embodiment of bold, but by no means suitable fantasies, but the comfort and convenience of home owners. When a style is finally chosen, questions arise related to the layout of the space, the choice of finishing materials, the purchase and arrangement of furniture, the use of decorative elements and accessories.
Living room layout
In order to rationally and functionally use the available space, a thoughtful layout is necessary. If there is a need to combine the living room with the kitchen and dining room, you should determine the possible location dining table and take into account that the so-called “wet” zone with starting position not transferable. Then, through finishing, you need to visually separate the soft area from the dining area. It is better to divide the room space across, rather than lengthwise, in order to highlight two or three square zones, rather than one narrow “pencil case”.
If you plan to place a workplace in the living room, if possible, it should be located closer to the window, or it should be equipped with high-quality lighting. For children's play area in this space the floor is insulated and this area is filled with sports equipment and educational toys. To hold karaoke in the living room, you can choose a place and equip a podium. There are plenty of living room layout options, but the main rule is that the center of the space is the dining and living areas.
Living room decoration
Now that the planning issues have been resolved, you can choose Decoration Materials. Moreover, finishing options must be combined with the chosen style and with the design of functional areas. The floor in the living room can be made of durable, beautiful and at the same time presentable materials: parquet or laminate. For eco style in quality flooring Cork is suitable, and carpet is suitable for the play area.
Luxurious self-leveling floors are very popular these days. They look especially good in the living room.
To delimit the space into zones, a podium is erected or different colors are used to decorate the floor. The walls can be covered with wallpaper, decorated decorative plaster or paint, and for the loft style, imitation brickwork is relevant. It will look very beautiful if you highlight one of the zones with original photo wallpaper or textiles. Light shades of wall materials are used - this will make the room visually larger. If the living room is small, then one of the walls can be decorated with mirrors. In this case, the space visually increases. And finishing the walls to a glossy surface will create an airy atmosphere.
To give your living room a cozy, warm atmosphere, you need to decorate the walls effectively. Moreover, this needs to be done in such a way that you don’t just fill the void in the wall with just something, but choose decorative items according to the style and color of the room.
For the design of small standard living rooms, the most acceptable urban style, which includes comfortable modern furniture without any bends or curls. The walls are usually decorated in light colors, straight curtains without drapery are ideal for them. And thanks decorative textiles the room will come to life and become brighter.
The walls in such an interior are decorated narrow shelves with large photographs, large posters and of course modern paintings in flat thin frames. You can use mirrors to decorate the walls - this will visually enlarge the small space of the room.
It is advisable to select decorative decorations for compositions on the wall in accordance with the chosen style and color scheme.
In the interior of the Provence style - a variety of country - pastel wallpapers and bright colors calico. Against their background, furniture in light, faded shades will look very aesthetically pleasing.
\
A bright accent on the wall will be decorative plates or wall compositions of dried flowers, both with and without frames.
To give the living room in the Provence style a fresh touch, one of the walls is highlighted with wallpaper of a different color or draped with light textiles.
Furniture selection
Usually the room has a large and comfortable sofa or sofa area. If space allows, then use two sofas of the same texture, but different colors, and a pair of armchairs of the same color. Thus, a soft area can be created in the living room. On the wall opposite the sofa area there is a large TV. In order not to clutter the room with massive pieces of furniture, it is better to use a TV stand, where you can also place books and decorative items. The center of the sofa area will rightfully be occupied by a coffee table intended for tea drinking and board games.
The work area can be separated using open shelves with books. This is a functional solution, since it creates the effect of a kind of library with a desktop and soft chair. It is advisable to place a fireplace next to the sofa area. If for some reason it is impossible to build a real fireplace, then an alternative may be to install a decorative or electric fireplace.
In the living room small size In order to save space, you can install transformable furniture: cabinets, shelves, armchairs, sofas, tables.
Decor in the living room interior
There should be moderation in everything - this unshakable principle is also true for decorative elements. The spacious living room can be a large number of decorative items, but they all must be combined with one of the selected styles. This applies to accessories, figurines, sculptures, paintings, wall photographs.
As decoration in such a room there are unusually shaped lamps. For good lighting large room One chandelier may not be enough, so install sconces, floor lamps, and built-in lamps in cabinets or niches. When creating the interior of a living room, it is important to remember that the main purpose of this room is comfortable rest for the whole family. Therefore, using different ideas, can be equipped cozy corner for family communication or an entertainment area for relaxing with friends.

To apply for a loan online, just fill out an application form on the MFO website containing your passport details, the desired loan amount and some other information. Also, if you plan to receive money on the card, you will need to have a registered Visa or MasterCard with CVV2 to receive funds.
A decision on an application is made from a few minutes to half an hour. If the loan amount exceeds 30-50 thousand rubles, the application is reviewed manually, which affects the processing time. The speed of receipt of money depends on the chosen method of receipt - to an account, to a card, to an electronic wallet or in cash and on the loan amount. Money is transferred at any time of the day, as well as on holidays and weekends.
You can increase the loan term for a period of 1-30 days. In some cases, if there are compelling reasons, the loan is extended without overpayments. In other cases, an additional commission fee is paid for loan extension. The number of possible extensions must be clarified with the microfinance organization.
For the first time, you can borrow an amount from 1 thousand rubles to 30 thousand rubles, depending on different conditions. The size of the first loan is affected by the borrower’s income, loan term, good credit history, and conditions for certain programs.
The MFO checks the validity of the passport through the FMS database, registration address, contact information of the borrower, assesses his solvency, and looks at open records in the FSSP database. Online client profiles are checked by an automated scoring system. Data from the BKI and bank card information are also checked.
Bad credit history still no reason to expect rejection. If the CI is damaged due to the fault of the creditor bank, you can contact the BCI with a statement. In other cases, you can try to correct it with a chain of small microloans taken sequentially and repaid in a timely manner.
If the loan is not given, you should find out the reason. For example, get your CI and study it to see if there are any delays caused by the banks. Maybe you have accumulated debt on utility bills - it needs to be paid off. After some time, you can re-apply to the microfinance organization to receive a smaller loan amount. Several consecutive small loans taken and repaid in a timely manner will improve your position in MFOs.
If the money is not returned to the MFO in due time, you will be charged penalties for certain period provided for by the contract. If you do not contact and repay the loan during this time, your case will be referred to a collection agency, which will work with you to resolve how to return the money. If you avoid communicating with debt collectors, the case will be transferred to bailiffs who:
- funds on the salary card will be seized;
- travel abroad will be limited;
- will seize your personal property.

City apartments old building no different large area, but there was a room in them, which the owners, with a certain note of pride in their voices, called the hall. Usually this room was larger than others. Nowadays it is customary to call the hall a more appropriate word - living room. But the point is not in the name, but in the approach to the improvement of this room. The living room environment should be special, conducive to relaxation and pleasant conversations over a cup of coffee while relaxing. Therefore, we are faced with a responsible task - how, while adhering to general design, to make the interior of the living room in a city apartment so that it corresponds to the intended purpose and is pleasing to the eye.
Furniture in the living room interior
Obviously, the design of the living room and what kind of furniture will be installed there depends not only on the chosen style, but also on the dimensions of the room.
The design of a small living room should be approached taking into account the fact that everyone square centimeter the available space must be used rationally. For example, indoors, except frame furniture, maybe also frameless, which can easily be moved to the side when the need arises. A folding table can be a convenient addition.
If cabinet furniture is installed in the living room, its appearance should help create a feeling of lightness. It is clear that the wardrobe will not only not add charm, but on the contrary, it will make the atmosphere oppressive. It is better if it is a modern, not too large wall, the shelves of which are not cluttered different objects or souvenirs.
When there are no restrictions, it will be more convenient to use stationary furniture in a large living room.
Often, apartments undergo redevelopment, as a result of which the living room becomes even larger. In this case, you don’t have to cut out every centimeter, but still, living room furniture should not create a depressing atmosphere in the room. Everything should speak about the good taste of the owners.
Curtain design
Correctly and tastefully selected curtains for the living room can significantly transform the room, emphasizing created design. By choosing the wrong shape, color (or shade), you can get a result that you did not expect at all. Because good curtains They are expensive, and there will be no possibility of selection on the spot; you need to make a choice in advance.
We will not impose our opinion, but in the vast majority of cases the curtains are in harmony with upholstered furniture or some other part of the room. It’s a good idea to take a purely female approach to choice here. How to do it? It is best to ask your significant other for help. If this cannot be done, then you will have to use your imagination. Imagine a woman choosing a handbag. It’s hard to follow the train of thought, but you can definitely say that she imagines how this handbag will look with her new dress, what shoes she will have to wear, is there a lipstick of that color, and will probably need to buy nail polish of the same color ...
When choosing curtains, imagine them in the design of the room, how they will look with furniture, walls, or whether you will have to redo something in the living room to match them.
Which wallpaper to choose
Choosing the right wallpaper for your living room is not as difficult as it might seem. The selection principle is the same as in the case of curtains - combination, harmony and support of the intended style.
It is important to take into account that very dark shades any color will look impressive only in a room that receives a large amount of sunlight. If this is not the case, then even during the day you will have to use artificial lighting.
Light velor wallpaper is more versatile and goes well with other colors.
In the living room you can also combine various wallpapers. Most often, wallpaper of the same color is used, but different shades. Sometimes you can see contrasting combination stripes alternating on the wall different color this roll material.
Tastefully selected photo wallpapers can highlight the design of the living room by combining objects and furniture of different, disparate colors. The use of photo wallpapers does not always lead to the desired result, but sometimes you simply cannot do without them.
Living room interior with fireplace
In an apartment real fireplace you can’t do it, but installing a dummy is quite possible. It should be borne in mind that fireplaces in the interior of the living room will be appropriate only if the area of the room allows you to add this element. Of course, you can install a fireplace in a small room, but will it look good there, and will it be possible to achieve your goal? Will the living room become like a steam room? Experts do not recommend introducing this design element in rooms whose area is less than 20 m2.
Here is an example of a small living room with a fireplace. Perhaps while there was no furniture in the room, the fireplace played a key role, but now it is almost invisible.
This living room is also not too big, but the fireplace made the right approach to its design. important element design of this room.
Many apartment owners are primarily concerned appearance manufactured element. As you can see, the fireplace turned out to be beautiful and solid, and the firewood was used as decoration.
With the help of a built-in electric fireplace, you can achieve the effect that a real flame is burning in the hearth.
Design of living rooms of different sizes
Each person has his own preferences and favorite colors, so the design of the two is absolutely identical rooms located on different floors of the same house will differ significantly. However, there are some factors to consider.
Small living room
Its perception depends on how a small room is decorated. Of course, every person wants the room to resemble not a storage room, but a spacious living room. There are several for this design techniques:
- Only light colors should be used in the design.
- Give preference to wallpaper with small prints. If the ceiling is low, then wallpaper with a vertical pattern is suitable. You can “lengthen” the room with photo wallpaper with a landscape image.
- Furniture should not be bulky or very bulky.
- Finishing low ceiling can be done with mirrors.
- Lamps can be located not on the ceiling, but on the walls.
- Accessories should not be colorful or very large.
Large living room
There is a lot of space in a large living room, so it should not create the impression of being empty or oversaturated with furniture or decor. If you like classic style, then in this case it is best suited.

Design of a living room combined with a kitchen
By combining the living room and kitchen, the apartment owner has some advantages, but we must not forget about the disadvantages that need to be taken into account when creating the intended interior.
- Smells. Food is often prepared in the kitchen, so it should be installed powerful hood, which in its dimensions may not fit into the planned environment.
- Zoning. Since 2 rooms are combined, each of which had its own purpose, now they need to be divided into zones. Most often this is done not with the help of light partitions, but through design techniques. Therefore, you need to think about how the part of the room that was once the kitchen and the living room will be decorated. They should be slightly different, but be in harmony. For example, fireplaces in the living room interior can highlight this room.
