The living room and dining room are places where the family can relax, dine and entertain guests. Therefore, they are also places where furniture and other items are concentrated and people come and go.
Think back to your family's living habits, and set up a space that allows your family to move freely. The most important thing about the layout of the living room and dining room is to create a private space for everyone. No one wants to eat standing up, so what was created was space for everyone to sit. In addition, how to sit and how to sit depends on your decoration style. If you want to create a Japanese-style room, put some cushions so that people can sit comfortably on the floor, and in a Western-style room, you need to add chairs. Even if instead of a few large sofas, one small sofa per person, or a combination of stools and benches, make sure everyone has their own personal space.
Generally speaking, living room layouts are I-shaped, face-to-face and L-shaped. The I-shape is a sofa for two or three people indoors. The two sit close to each other, bringing a sense of intimacy while relaxing.
Suitable for single people or couples as a private space. The face-to-face layout makes the two face each other face-to-face and are far apart, creating the tension of face-to-face speech in general interviews, which is suitable for interview situations. Placing the three-person sofa against the wall with a piece of paper on the opposite side will relieve this tension. The last L-shape is a less common layout that allows people not to face each other but to be in close proximity to each other.
Independence and intimacy. Putting the sofa in the corner can also make the line of sight wider. The semi-open and circular layout creates a relaxed atmosphere for conversation.
In daily life, the view of sitting on the sofa is as important as the appearance of the sofa, which can determine the comfort and openness of the room. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the orientation and view of the sofa.
If you want to accentuate the spaciousness of the room, start with the sofa and extend the view. Putting some artworks or decorations in the direction of sight can guide people's eyes. When the space in the room is insufficient, directing the vision to the outside can make people feel the open atmosphere. This decoration method is suitable for all kinds of small and medium-sized apartments.
What is most needed in the living room and dining room is such a "bright spot", which can grab the attention of the visitor in an instant. It can be some paintings or small decorations, or it can be exquisite furniture.
In order to create a bright spot that can be seen at a glance, the key is to organize other items neatly to make this stand out. If you decorate the whole room, it will make people lose focus and give a messy impression.
Place wall lamps or floor lamps in the position you want to emphasize, and emphasize with light, which can attract more attention. Don't forget, this "highlight" often represents a style of the owner.
