How to arrange a large living room?

A large living room creates great arranging possibilities. However, the arrangement of a large living room is not always easy. So let's learn the basic rules of composing large spaces and know which furniture to choose first.

Arrangement of the living room

For a large living room to be orderly and functional it is good to make a furniture layout - most of us consider this simple step as unnecessary. However, it is very helpful in visualizing a large interior.

A large living room - a place of rest

The relax zone is the most important zone in the living room. This is where we will spend most of our free time. A place to rest in a large living room can be created by placing furniture around a chosen central point - it can be eg a large coffee table or a fireplace.

A cozy corner in a rectangular interior will allow us to create a large corner or sofa set in the shape of the letter L. The rest zone will be a rectangular coffee table or bench fitting into the sofa arrangement, as well as armchairs, seats or chaise lounges surrounding the table from the other sides. It is worth having at least two additional seats, which we will be able to rearrange again when needed. When arranging a large living room, it is worth remembering that the times of matching holiday sets have long since passed. The sofa and armchairs do not have to be kept in the same style and colors. In a large space we can afford diversity without any major fears of excessive chaos. When choosing a piece of furniture, let us direct our own needs, financial possibilities and taste.

Instead of one table in the recreation area, we can put, for example, two smaller ones, which can be moved and put together depending on the needs. In addition to the main coffee table or bench in a large space, we can afford additional small side tables, on which we can set a table lamp, books or a vase with flowers. An interesting solution is also to place a long narrow shelf at the big sofa, adjusted to the height of the rest. Its top top will provide us with an additional storage space. Placed in such a bookcase will also make the not very effective back of the sofa will not be visible.

Large living room - division into zones

The large living room space allows for the separation of various zones - for example, a lounge, a dining room or a reading or work corner. The corners next to each other will support family integration.

In order to extract various functions in a large living room and provide greater intimacy to the residents staying in individual zones, we can use various types of partitioning - for example, low partition walls, decorative screens or openwork freestanding shelves or set up furniture accordingly. To emphasize a specific zone, we can also use a color and paint selected walls for a different, more intense shade than the others. We will divide the large living room into zones also with lighting. Other lamps will illuminate the dining room (hanging lamps), and the other seating corner (floor and table lamps). To designate zones in a large living room, it is worth using also carpets - another in the seating corner, another in the dining room, and a smaller carpet or sidewalk by the reading corner. Carpets not only insulate the interior and define the zone, but also delineate its surface.
